Do I need new shocks.

I wanna get the bilistein 5100 shocks. It says they lift the front end of my truck 2.5 inches. If I get these will I need bigger coil springs

 

No. These work with your stock coils. You can adjust the spring perch which will compress the spring which gives your truck up to 2.5" of lift. There are three settings. 0" of lift, 1.25 or so I believe and then 2.5" of lift. I have mine on 2.5" setting and it rides great.

You will need to lift the rear though as well... 5100's do not lift the rear. You will need an Add a Leaf or block or shackle or whole new leaf pack. I have a 2" AAL in the rear and am very happy with it.

 

From what I read, the stock Tacoma, is 1" higher in the back. So people will get leveling kits, and lift the front end up 1" to get an even look.

So when I buy a set of 4 Blisteins, I am going to adjust them to see which settings I like the most. I have read tons of places that people just don't want their truck lifted, which I get, I just know they look much better when they are lifted, at least that is my personal opinion.

I am also looking at the Coil Overs/Leafs aka Full Suspension upgrade, mostly on account that can be enough for my general use, and not breaking the bank. Later I will look into a SAS upgrade, steering upgrade, and etc.
