I have a 2001 Tacoma double cab 4x4 and will be in need of new tires soon so figured now is the best time, if any, to consider a lift. I have been looking at getting Bilstein 5100s set at 2.5 and had some questions.

First, I understand the front can use different notches to raise the truck, but what raises the rear? Will it require a shackle or add-a-leaf? Can I use stock springs up front with the new shocks? Secondly, I wanted to know what it would look like lifted with the stock wheels and either (275/70/16) or (265/75/16) size tires on it. Does anyone happen to have photos? Any and all help is appreciated. I have done quite a bit of searching, and these are the questions I have left.

For answers to every single one of these questions, call up the guys at toytec lifts. They are awesome, and can answer every question you have about lifting your truck.

Beware, they sell the Dakar rear springs which are pricey, but well worth it. I didn't get the dakar's, and I regret it. I ended up with some cheaper Procomp springs that I had to rip apart because they were so stiff that they gave the rear too much lift.

I went with the toytec/eibach springs up front with bilstein struts, and bilstein shocks in the rear. Bilstein has a lifetime warranty, the OME shocks don't.
