    Do yourself a favour and grab the 5100's and a 1" block for the rear. That is basically the TRD kit in a nut shell at almost half the cost. Even the stock Off Road Bilsteins are a good ride, but the 5100s are a bigger better shock with a 2" lift, and eliminates the OEM brake dive.

    But if your planning to ad a lot of weight in the rear, then skip the block and get an add a leaf. Either way, will give you great results.

    You won't be disappointed.

    I ordered the pre-assembled 6112's set at 1.7" and 5100 rears from Shock Surplus. I also ordered the 1/2" TRD Pro lift blocks.

    Solid advice!

    So what are Pro lift blocks? Why 1/2 inch. A simple one inch bolt on block is perfect.

    1" block is the sweet spot. 1/2" will work, but 2 and 1 would sit better. 2 and 1/2 will sit closer to level.

    I may go 1" but I want to see how the 1/2" looks first.

    My memory may be off. It may be a 1/2" block in the rear to give you 1". I cant remember now, and I'm too lay to look, but I basically I have the 2/1" lift, which is exactly what the TRD kit consists of.

    Its different in the front. A one in rear block will just be a one inch of lift.

    Is SS legit? Seems too good to be true. I just want to do a 2F+1.5R lift.
