    Hello,

    I have a 97 Tacoma SR5 4x4 with a 3" Revtek lift. I am looking to replace the rear shocks and front struts. Does anyone have any recommendations? I mostly commute with the truck but take it camping and hunting throughout the year. Obviously I would like to save where I can, but am open to any ideas.

    Thank you!

    Luke

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    I would ditch that whole setup and invest in a set of 5100's at 2.5" and 5125's with AAL but if you must keep the spacers and blocks then you can get 5100's set at 0" and 5125's for the rear.

    Thanks for the recommendation! For what reason would you ditch the setup? I am not too familiar with lifts and all that, and this one was put on by the original owner...

    It's a spacer and blocks. You are replacing the shocks anyways so you have to either rent the spring compressor or take it in and have it done. You might as well just run the 5100's at 2.5" and a AAL in the rear.
