    Hello, I'm new to this forum and sure this question has been asked a lot of times before but I was not sure how to find the answer. I have a "03" Toyota Tacoma 4 door 4x4 and I am wanting to install a good lift kit. What brand would be best and what lift height would be good. Just want to be able to raise the truck a few inches and level it out.
    Thanks, Wayne

    Bilstein adjustable 5100s are the most common, inexpensive quality lift that most people here seem to go with.

    5100s all around set to 0" with OME coils (882s for me) will give you 2.5" in the front, 3 AAL pack in the rear should level it out.

    If you keep your stock coils up front you can adjust the 5100s anywhere from 0-3" to get front lift.

    What are 882s and is 3 AAL an add a leaf package. If so what brand would you recommend.

    OME 882s are coils made by Old Man Emu, they range from 880-885 I believe, AALs are add a leaf packs...most off-road suspension vendors carry their own brand. Headstrong Offroad is a recommended one

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
