    TacomaGus, any difference in ride quality after going up to 2.5 and would u recommend? Also, once shocks are installed, how difficult to adjust. From what I've read, they have to come off the truck, but how much labor would a shop charge?

    Well I've ridden in my friend Lentsnh's
    Tacoma with 5100s set at 2.5 and mine, and
    I didn't notice a difference at all. Setting them to 2.5 is easy, just reseat the ring to the top setting. Compressing the spring is the hardest part you can have a shop do it for you, or my step dad had a tool that compressed the springs, so we did everything ourselves.

    yea i noticed no difference in the ride quality after they were moved up, you'd have to get a shop to do it and idk how much the cost would be but it looks better higher up i think especially with the TSB

    Nice truck. Our trucks look quite similar with the anthracite wheel thing going.
