    Hard to say cant really say "best"

    Bilstein, OME, FOX, ICON, King

    Can't go wrong with any of those brands
    For ride quality i would have to say billies or OME even though my fox set up is not bad at all

    Ive heard good things about the ome kit. I haven't been able to find a kit from them for my 2004 the lowest model year I've seen from them is the 2005 Tacoma. Is there some kit I'm not seeing? Thanks!

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Definitely OME for the best value/performance balance with bomber component sturdiness.

    No one can answer this. Responses would be based on personal opinion/experience only.
    Search and figure out what fits your needs/budget and go from there.

    Unless you mean progressive AAL, AAL will be junk; TRUST me.

    It is true that we are really going about this backwards... we should be asking what you your goals are from a lift? To fit larger tires? For better looks? For an on-road/off-road mix, rock crawling, sand running, backwoods trails? What is your budget for this project? Will you be getting new larger tires as part of that budget?

    Basically, user requirements.

    Then we can recommend a best lift setup for those needs.

    Of course I'm an OME fanbox so I'll be recommending that anyway, but we probably should do this right. There are plenty of other good lift setups available and you can also mix-n-match: Bilstein shocks work well with OME coils.
