    I have looked at a few other posts but didn't get the answers I needed, hopefully someone can help me out. I bought a slightly used set of 5100s front and rear, the front is already assembled. Have a top space. I also got UCAs and Icon Progressive AAL.

    My question is what other things should I get, or replace as far as parts. I know I will need new Ubolts. I want to make sure I am not missing anything for install. Going to go at this myself and don't want to be stuck midway through!!

    New ubolts? Maybe a flip kit with upgraded bump stops. Might as well do super bumps up front too. Extended brake lines?

    Yes, ubolts. Then also the leaf center pins. I believe 3/8"x5" will do the trick. Make sure you put some anti-seize on the center pins before tightening, they get hot quick and like to strip.

    Do i need to replace bump stops if I don't do any hardcore offroading? Brake lines I didn't write down on my list because I read a few posts saying I didn't need it.

    People put the stainless steel brakelines on for two reasons, better flow for the breakfluid, and to extend the lines to allow for the added travel due to the lift. You dont need them if your not wheeling, but its a really easy thing to do yourself, and not a bad thing for the just in case scenario

    I would add the bumpstops as well, you dont need the most expensive ones on the market, but if you lift your truck, you should adjust the bumps

    I just had to cut my sway bar end links off due to the allen stripping out due to corrosion. So dependent on how yours look you may want to order a set of those. They are pretty cheap on Amazon don't go local as they will cost you twice as much. Or you can just remove the whole sway bar like many have and not worry about it. I am still up in the air on this as I already have replacements but I don't know if I really want to go and reinstall the sway bar.

    Hey tacoma world! Apologies, my first post..i hope it's ok to jump on beauxdon's question..im doing a similar lift on my truck..my question is with the flip kit and progressive aal, it looks like the travel back there is even MORE limited then it was to begin with(obviously). Anyone build this way? Always hitting bump stops? Would the full leaf swap be a better option despite the price differences?
