    looking to level the front of my Tacoma. Have thought about the bilstein 5100 shocks but don’t know What other options there are, and if I’d have to do any other modifications or if I level out the front the rest of the stocks suspension will be fine?

    5100s are one of the better options if not the best. There are always spacer options which aren’t highly recommended, but if you don’t off-road a bunch they are a very cheap option that doesn’t change ride much, but does limit travel.
    I found some ome 884 coils used so put those in along with the 5100s. It’s not totally level, but so far I’m happy with the way it turned out. Got about 1.25 inches out of the front lift. These trucks are a bit strange, where if they are totally level based on measurements they almost look nose high in my opinion. I need to get some better pics but have only had it done a week.

    I’m in same boat and thinking of doing the below instead of strut spacers. Would this be an OK budget-friendly level:

    Bilstein 5100 front: set at top notch
    Bilstein 5100 rear
    1” rear block with new uBolts
    Use stock springs
