    Curious if bilstein 5100s are a good choice or if i should do something else? I had bilsteins on my 03 4runner and they felt great compared to my taco stock struts. Anyone think of something better with the same price range?

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    If you’re deadset on a 1in lift, grab some 3rd gen TRD take offs. It’ll net you a 1in lift up front and best of all, its OEM. Not to mention, they’re practically dirt cheap.

    Do you guys know of a good place to find them besides the forum? I know people get rid of them all the time on here but 95% of them are on the west coast and I'm in lower NY
