    I've had 5100s and eibach 1.6in coils with wheeler AAL for around 6 years now. I've been happy, but I've got a Bronco on order and figure it's time to upgrade the Tacoma more for offroad and less for highway driving.

    I don't want to go crazy but want another inch or so taller than what it is now. Am running 255/75/17s, but plan to go 295/70/17 or 285/75/17.

    Are 6112s with UCAs and Dakar rears a reasonable next step beyond what I currently have, or should I be looking at ICON or Fox setups?

    I have FJ wheels with 4.5in backspacing I'm hoping to keep. Plans now for SPC UCAs. Hopefully that will clear 285/75/17s with no issues.

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    I made the move earlier this year from 5100s and progressive AAL to Fox 2.5s, Icon RXT leaf pack and JBA uca. Worth it.
