    Hey all I am very new to join the Tacoma club. I bought my first taco a couple month ago and now im feeling the itch to modify. So I went on Amazon and impulsively bought a spacer kit for the truck. Then I did some research and discovered that I need to do it right with the bilsteins 5100. So I guess my question is: I am making the right choice by returning the spacers and going with the bilsteins, right? And if there is still any deals for TW member for bilsteins? Thanks all

    I read some reviews that say you can install these without removing the wheels or jacking up the truck. Is that true?

    Rears. Yes. half hour job.

    Fronts, no-or at least I can't figure out a way.

    Yeah the rears.

    So you don't have to remove the wheels or jack up the rear. You just remove old shocks and put these on, and you're set?

    PM @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc for a quote on what you want. They were the best price when I was shopping for my lift.

    You can use stock coil. If you go for the 2.5" lift setting it may ride stiff. Some use a new spring to get the lift.

    I'd definitely recommend getting new springs with your 5100s. That way you can leave your front 5100s set at "0" and get lift from the spring, meaning your ride will feel just like stock.

    Suspension. Billy 5100's all four corners. Fronts set at 0 with Eibach 620 coils for level. Tp14 spacer driver side. Wheels. 17" ultra mavericks with 265/70/17 nitto terra grappler g2. Exterior. super white grill. Debaged. Black housing headlights. Black Led third brake light. Black Depo Tail lights Interior. Led interior bulbs. Neoprene seat covers
    check out my billy/coil setup by going to my info page...for a dclb set billy's at 0 and let the coils do the Work for level .. since you have a double cab long bed V6 set the billy's at .85 for a 2.5" lift...or for a full 3" add A half inch spacer to the driver side to get the extra lift and prevent taco leen and a quarter inch spacer to the passenger side to get a full 3"... but don't forget the rear if you go for the full lift you'll need AAL

    Oh yeah and if you just use this combo to level the truck. In my opinion the right is better than stock
