    I was hit head on making a u-turn in an intersection by a Honda civic and both car and truck totaled, my girlfriend and I are ok but sorry for the other guy that ran the red light. The front bumper was a steel plate style bumper like arb and possibly saved our lives. So that said. My 98 Tacoma was totaled and with 3k and the 8200 insurance gave me for my 98 with 276k miles..I bought a 2002 with 122k miles. :D I have already put Bilstein 5100 front and rear. I took off the 3" leveling coil spacer off and left the 5100 at 2.75" I believe that it came set at. I also bought a wheelers 1.5" aal for the rear but did not install it. If anyone has pictures of their truck with wheel/tire setups, I would appreciate any type of info or help deciding what I should do to this truck. I'm leaning towards some new front springs to go with the 5100s and possibly a whole new leaf set in rear. Thanks for reading and anything helps.
