    Hello all,

    I want to put a bit of a lift on my truck. I already have the spacer leveling kit, but I want better off road performance than a couple of spacers. This has been doing OK, but I've heard putting some 5100's from Bilstein will work much better. I do intend on adding some 33's once I finish wearing out these stock tires which will add a little more lift.
    Will something like this work? https://www.bilsteinlifts.com/shop/...0-1-lift-rear-shocks-2016-2017-toyota-tacoma/
    Any other options?

    Will it work for a 2 inch front lift? Sure will. The most popular (reasonably priced) option around here for the front seems to be ome lift coils of your choice with the bilstein 5100s and some sort of add a leaf in the rear. Blocks are an option in the rear as well. Seems you will need diff spacers/drops on anything around 2.5 inch lift. I attached a lift guide from headstrong who is a vendor on here.

    This is what I intend on doing
    5100 front and rear package from Headstrong with the 2888s and the deavers in the back. What do you think? I have the SOS Streamline bumper. If I move around the adjustable settings and get those coils will I more or less aquire the lift needed for some skinny 33's?
