anyone running a 2 or 2.5" lift on a 99 tacoma with standard shocks? i'm in a quandry as to which shocks to order. rancho 5k's for up to 1.5" lift, standard rancho 5k's or the bilstiens. i can only find standard bilsteins (5100) though. i called bilstein this am and they said they were in fabrication for shocks for a 2" lift.

my needs are pretty simple. moderate off roading, no rock crawling or anything. just managing big ruts and mud. ya'll think the bilstein 5100's will bottom out too much?

thanx in advance!

i found some ride height adjusted 5100's, but i think they're for 04's and up.
i'm goin for the bilsteins, but i'd like some confirmation as to whether the 5100's will work with this lift. OR if the 3" shocks will work.
thanx!

anyone? i've searched diligently and only found some vague answers.
i'd like to pull the trigger on the 5100s but i'd like to know from other members if they've had any probs with a 2" lift and 5100s.
thanx

For the rear you want 5125's: BE5-6252 and BE5-6253 Bilsteins and the stock length for the front. They sould work fine.

depends on what you mean by "2inch lift" if its just a level kit and you have 2 inches of lift in the back leave the front end stock. if you have 2" of lift in front and back you mostlikely have a spacer in the front in which case you have to leave the suspension stock, or spend money and get a larger coild and remove the block.

good call on that bushing part # I totally forgot about that.
