    2017 tacoma 4x4 Access Cab 6 lug - TRD Sport, 6 speed manual - STOCK. No intention on adding additional weight up front.

    Rides 'ok' -to me, feel a bit like a hay wagon but it is a truck and meant to take off road.

    Budget - little over $1K
    Height - 2.5 front / 1.5 rear is fine
    Upper Control Arm - If I can avoid that cost, great
    Shocks I tend to love - Bilstein 5100s from other truck experience

    I have searched and searched, even searched the forum. My thoughts are this:
    - Not a lover of the spacer in the front and rear
    - See link below to suspensionlifts.com
    - Bilstein's 5100 all the way around
    - Front OME coil springs - either 884 or 885
    - I cant find a thread in which another member put his spring setting on a higher than suggested for his access cab and said he had no issues. His silver Tacoma looked good
    - Rear ICON 1.5" add a leaf. I think this is better than adding a cheap block plus I am hoping the ride improves.
    - Rev tech diff drop kit.


    Bilstein 5100 with OME Coilovers 2-2.5" Lift Kit for 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma (suspensionlifts.com)

    If you have experience on a similiar set up that I am trying to obtain, please let me know.
    Thanks
    Scott
