are you running longer brake lines on your truck?
my main reason for going with about 2 inches of lift is not to have more maintenance then stock. not to tall for cv problems but tall enough for the look i want

Out of curiosity. Why are you going with 5100s? The spring/strut combo you have there is a direct swap, a lift from 1.5-2" and from everything I've read a VAST improvement in ride.
Not trying to talk you out of the 5100s or anything. I would love a set myself but if you have a good shock why drop the extra $. The rear tacoma shocks and fj springs combined with the fronts you have pictures would probably be a very nice improvement with minimal fund drainage.

All 2005 and up, you just want to make sure it's a 4x4 TRD I believe.
I am going to use the springs, struts and rear shocks.

from what i have been reading it gets about 1-1.5 inches of lift from the coils and im looking for something around 2-2.5 so thats why i would go with 5100's set on .85

Hey guys new here... just bought a 2003 limited no xreas. I also purchased a complete trd tacoma suspension to put on it. At the start of this thread someone mentioned a bushing swap in the rear. Is that a part you buy or do you remove it from the 4runner parts? Also, I was going to do a daystar 1.5/2.5 spacer lift but after reading I m not sure what spacer sizes I would need to use in combination with the tacoma trd setup. Any help, advice or input would be awesome. I only know enough to be dangerous

Is yours 4x4 and v6 or v8? The tacoma set up with the Daystar 2.5/1.5 will probably be nose high and will definitely max out your upper control arms which will mess with your alignment.
How much overall lift are you wanting to gain?

My t4r is a v8 4wd. I figured the 1.5/2.5 wouldn't work together with the trd setup. I have a brand new set of 255/75/17 duratracs that I want to put on some fuel 17x8.5 wheels. I like the more aggressive look of the 1.25 spacers but I wanted to achieve the same look with wheel offset. I ordered +14 but I think I should have bought -5 or -6 can't recall for sure which it was. I don't do any heavy off road stuff so that's not needed to factor in. But I do want level not a fan of rake. Would fj rear springs in back and taco up front give me a mild level lift?
