    I've been reading a lot about lifts and which is good/bad and I have a pretty good idea on what I am going to go with but need some help.
    Mind you I will be buying all these things from Amazon cause I have a 700 gift card from them.

    2012 Tacoma Prerunner.

    As far as the fronts
    Bilstiens 5100(24-186711) with stock coils set at the highest setting (2.5 in lift)
    I will not be going with aftermarket UCA's as I rear I will be fine still.

    Rear
    Not sure If I will replace shocks or keep stock(

    I will be doing the 1.5 AAL route as I believe I already have a 4 leafpack there now.
    But what brand would one suggest for the AAL?

    Will this all work and level my truck once all settled. also input is much appreciated.
    Once this is all done I plan on running aftermarket 16' Rims with 265-285/ 70-75/16's but I will research that once this is done.

    You may or may not need UCA's. I had 5100's set at 2.5" and I needed UCAs. Some don't need them. Stock coils will be stiff at 2.5", but that's relative to the individual.

    Toytec makes some AALs you can check out.
