    Hey guys,

    I am new to this and was looking for some advice. I have been wanting to level my tacoma (2006 trd sport) since i got it and found a ready lift leveling kit for sale. Is this a good brand?
    Also, I have toyo open country h/t tires with stock wheels. Would a leveling kit look goofy with that on my truck?

    They are front adjustable shocks to 0 .85 1.75 or 2.5" rear are not adjustable and they ride wayyyyyy better than factory.

    I would get Bilstein 5100's. you could replace front and rear if you want but of course the rear do not give any lift, just better ride. but then you can raise up the front to level it. Just set them on the 3rd setting (1.75") And you should be level and have a great ride.
