Getting a Tuff Country 5" lift

Yeah, so I decided that in the next few months I'll be getting and installing (myself) a Tuff Country 5" Tacoma lift. Of course, thats only for the front.

The rear, I am thinking that I am just going to get some 2" rear cornfed spacers.

Will I need to do any other modifications to the rear? Obviously will need a panhard drop. Maybe I could get a longer one than the 2 1/2".

What about the two control arms. I keep thinking I'll need to get a drop braket for them.

Go to Leaves for the rear. 5" is too high with the stock links etc. Ask Schaefer.

Thanks Jim, thats what I was looking for.

Im still up in the air with doing this big ol lift. I mainly want to do it cause it would be a fun project...lol.

Thats the link I was looking for! The leafs seem pricey, Ive been looking at the conversion kits and they are like $600+!!

This guy here has the 3 inch spacers on his OME rear springs...and has a 2 panhard brackets!! http://filebox.vt.edu/users/ddelaney/SAS/spacers/ Just to match his SAS front! Eek!
