    I just got my 2000 Taco with a 2'' spacer lift on the front, and an add-a-leaf to the rear which is supposedly raising the rear by 1.5'' (I haven't measured)
    One of the rear shocks is busted, so looking to replace them in the rear.

    These are the only ones I've found that say 0-2'' lift

    But everyone raves about the Bilsteins, so I've been looking into those.
    SuspensionConnection is nice enough to list out for which lifts some shocks are applicable. This shows that the 5100 series will fit with a 0''-1'' lift:

    Will those 5100s suffice? Or will they not be long enough with my lift and add-a-leaf?

    Thanks in advance.

    5100's should be available with 0-3" of lift

    get 5100's on all 4 corners and you'll be set.
