    Hello,
    I have a 2010 Tacoma 4.0L M/T 4wd. The previous owner put heavyweight rated leaf springs in the rear making the truck sit forward slightly. My plan is to find some a front suspension lift that will level the truck and be strong enough for a full front bumper. Any advice is appreciated thank you.

    Welcome to Tacomaworld! Bilstein 5100's and an OME 88x coil will suit you well. Use the chart to see how much lift you want and then compensate for the added weight.

    The aforementioned 5100s are probably the best value out there. I do believe though that they were specifically designed by Bilstein to be used with stock coils. On the other hand many shops build them with OME or other coils. Shrug.

    From personal experience I can tell you that 6112’s, adjustable just like the 5100’s, but paired with Bilstein coils, are what I run and I absolutely love them. More expensive than 5100’s. More middle of the road cost in the range of aftermarket options.

    Be prepared to replace your needle bearing.
