    In the market for new suspension. Best bang for your buck under $2k? Not looking for a huge lift or anything, just good performance and maybe about 2” of lift. Currently running 5100s. Thanks!!

    Icon shocks are pretty Damn good. 2.5 without resivior and rear 2.0 shocks would be about 1600 to 1800.

    A complete OME 2” kit is around $1300.
    If you add UCAs, the ECGS bushing, and alignment, the total would be $1800-2000.

    You could get away with out UCA's if you dont go past 2 inches. I agree on replacing the needle bearing with the ECGS bushing. Just replaced mine after 5k miles on my lift

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    This. I was seriously considering an OME kit..... Then I decided to throw my budget out the window (and piss the wife off) and went with Kings, but that's a whole different subject. The OME has a lot of testing time in the Australian outback and makes a really good kit.

    I paid about $1,300.00 for my OME set-up (90000 and 886). I'm completely satisfied with it so far.

    Hey!

    Yes, we have quite a few rear leaf spring options for the Tacomas, from medium loads all the way up to 1200lb constant load for campers. Yes, none of the Tacomas weve installed these kits on have any lean. We also have some customer on here who have recently installed them as well with the same result. They're pretty awesome.

    I have one on my Tacoma as well. Very happy with it.
