    I recently had the front end of my 05 Toyota Tacoma rebuilt, also added a 3 inch lift with the bilstein 6100 kit. I’m going to replace the front axles and need to know what are the best axles for this type of lift.

    OEM is by far the best.

    If you over lift the truck you will go through boots quickly.

    Thank you I like sticking with OEM just thought I would ask to see if anyone had some ideas or thoughts on this.

    Rebuild your OEM axles with extended boots.
