    Will be ordering suspension in about a week. Going with @Dobinsons Mike 's MRR front coilovers with resi(730# coils) MRR rear shocks with resi, and their heavy leaf pack. And have decided to go with JBA UCA. Also will be ordering wheels around the same time.

    Thanks. Good choice on the sliders sir :thumbsup:. I personal would at the very minimum get the ifs and trans skid first. A lift is nice to have but nothing gives you better peace of mind than good armor.

    Hold on, i didnt give you the correct Tacoma World answer.... Y not do both :rofl:
