    Hello all...I know that this has been asked before. And yes, I have used the "Search" bar!!! Trouble is that one person says it's fine and another says no way... I'm curious if someone actually has done this.
    My Tacoma is stock at this time, can I install 5100's both front and rear on the stock front and rear springs without any problems? I'd like to get some lift without breaking the bank (single dad). Maybe in the future changing out the front and rear springs.
    It's my daily driver and won't see any major trails/rock climbing. Just the weekend light trails and gravel roads associated with going camping.
    Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated....
    Thank you all.IMAG0665.jpg

    Short answer, yes.

    Just keep in mind the rears dont offer lift, only the fronts.

    How high do u wanna lift it? maxing them out might make the ride stiffer.

    No more than 3", it won't see a ton of wheelin'.
    Is the only way to achieve lift in the rear is going with new leafs? Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Or an add a leaf.....
    i guess a block will work as well, but im not a fan of blocks.

    If going add a leaf, spend a lil more and try to get a progressive add a leaf (aal), it will ride smoother. icon/wheelers.

    I think 5100s will lift up to 2.5"

    They are fine for a stock replacement. They are not fine for 3"lift.
