    You don't have much info there. The two kits you have listed aren't really apples-apples, since the OME kit includes the rear, and the Bilstein kit is front only. You also don't show the Fox kit you are considering.

    In general, I think you might find that Bilstein's have better on-road ride than OME, and OME have better (stiffer) off-road performance. You might also consider Bilstein's 5100 model, which will have a bit less lift than the 6112's.

    Whatever you choose, I'd recommend lifting both the front and rear at the same time, unless you want to level the truck (lift the front only).

    Get the complete OME. I put those on both my trucks, no complaints and I drive mostly Hwy.

    Either the OME or Bilstein's will do just fine. Personally, for pavement (even speed bumps), I'd still go with the Bilstein's. OME are super stiff IMO.

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    Go to and sign up for an account so they have your name and email in their system.

    Then call them and ask to speak to a Tacoma suspension consultant.

    The consultant will ask about your requirements and make suggestions.

    Be sure to ask about the front driver side spacer to prevent the "Tacoma Lean"

    They can even pre-assemble the springs and shocks to make installation easier.

    Be sure to ask for the Tacomaworld discount.
