    Not really if your just doing a refresh. If you're wanting lift or more load capacity they it'll need to change.

    Can get brake lines, or ball joints all around too. Should do the LBJ if they haven't been done.

    Can't hurt to get some OME Greaseable shackles too. Make sure you get the right size bushings for the leafs. And you may as well get some new front leaf hanger bolts as those can often require cutting out.

    so i installed the billy and eibach 3inch lift today and on the way home the check engine light came on. i did install the diff drop kit as well. is it because i have a 2.7? or needs alignment? and how long dose it take to fully settle?

    Probably never settle for you being 4 banger. Not unless you get a bumper and skids and winch ASAP.

    CEL shouldn't be related.

    Also, might be worth noting, the 2.7L 4 banger weighs in around 380 lbs and the V6 weighs around 420 lbs. Only around a 40 lbs difference. There's likely other things that could weigh more on the V6 equipped taco, not sure though.

    Shitty angles. But that's expected w/ a 3" lift. I use to have that same exact lift. With the 5100's on the bottom setting. What are the measurements from the hub to the inside lip of the fender in the front?

    Mine was 23" with the same exact set up except I have a 3.4 and a DC 4x4. Now I have Icons all the way around. I also had/have Camburg UCA's w/ my Bilstein/Eibach lift and kept them for my current lift
