    Hello everyone!

    I’m a new member in the Tacoma world (just picked my 22 DCSB TRO 4x4 up back in may) so please excuse my ignorance on anything along the way.

    I got pretty lost digging through the endless information on here (which is awesome don’t get me wrong) and am just kinda confused on what I do and don’t need.

    So I’m trying to figure out exactly what I need for my suspension set up.

    I am wanting to go with the Locked Off-road 2.5 kit with 12” rear shocks.Going to use either the BAMF relocation kit or the archive kit. I also planned on using the BAMF shackle hangers because why not. Dirt king upper control arms.

    My main question is (I got lost in the sauce of all the info on here) what leaf springs should I go with? Or I guess just rear spring setup in general to go with. Also do I need to get hydro bumps with this set up? Or can I skate by with the factory bumps for a while?

    I just want to make sure I am not missing anything so I can budget it all out and figure out what I need when I need it.

    All help is appreciated thank you.

    How do you plan to use your truck, mall crawler, dailey driver, weekend warrior, trail rig only, etc.?

    Buy the entire relocation kit from the same vendor. They will have experience with which works with what.
