    So I currently have some sort of level on my 2007 double cab SB Tacoma and it allows me to fit 33” tires on it but I would prefer to have “real” suspension for the off-roading that I do. I’m looking into putting Bilstein 5100s all around and doing the add a leaf system for the rear lift. I’ll also get a differential drop kit from toytec. I know toytec already has a whole kit with 5100s however since I don’t make a ton of money I’d rather buy the parts individually as it’s a little bit cheaper and more budget friendly in my case. I guess my main question is, is this all I need to lift the truck or do I need brake line extensions and other little things that I may be missing. Oh and what are some good affordable front coils that would fit this configuration?

    Oh I plan on it one day, just now getting started, and I feel like an idiot but what do you mean by 3 is not recommended for 5100s

    Good suspension doesn't usually fall into the "budget friendly" category. Just my .02
    If you are in the market for a good suspension system that will ride amazing on-road and off-road a tuned mid-travel kit with Fox or King shocks is the way to go. We often get customers wishing they had waiting and bought "the good stuff", so just a something to think about when making the purchase.
