    $199.99 for the fronts. $169.99 for the rears. you only need the fronts if you are wanting to level, but if you buy the rears as well, you will have a nicer ride. not really sure what they will cost you to get put on.

    technical service bulletin, basically means that toyota messed up. in this case, it's referring to the rear leaf springs. toyota had put on some weak springs, so some people have had them replaced. the new stronger ones have more arch, so they added a little bit of lift.

    just do the 5100's in the front and rear, cheapest way to go. Or you could do an Old Man Emu set u for a little more with coilovers and shocks, up to you a ton of options out there. Just make sure when u get the tires that they are good quality name brand tires (BFG, Goodyear, Michelin etc.) b/c with more rubber its harder to get them to balance correctly and shit tires make it harder (personal experience at the moment with generics)

    Do you keep the same amount of travel without bottoming out the shocks? I like to wheel but dont like to keep fixing stuff. And will it look good with 265/75-R16 Revo's.
