    New to this forum. I have a 2009 4x4 Manuel trans
    Tacoma. Trying to get a suspension shock replacing
    Lift that is best for your buck yet good performance.
    Any ideas? I was thinking bilstein 5100s...

    I'm aiming for a 2.5-3 inch. Didn't know if there were others to choose from.

    Cool. I'm trying to get it done In sections. I was thinking about a ready lift kit. But have to see what is compatible. I would love leaf springs that are smooth... Yet can also hold weight.

    Ready lift spacer kit? If so I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if you'll be going off road.

    Upper control arms are a must almost for keeping your alignment in spec with a 3 inch lift. And lower control arms? Have you been looking at long travel setups? And fox co's are pretty good, they have some good reviews here. You should check out icon's while your looking, they have a large following here.

    Ya I looked at icon. They seem good for your buck. They are actually competing with fox. I just have to do it in sections. I have a little money here and there.. Just can't decide on what will be best for the type of 4x4in I do.
