    I am looking for a mild 1.5"-1.75" (MAX) front lift to level out my 19' TRD OR. I'm not sure whether to go with the 5100 Billies, or go with new struts/shocks & new coil springs front/rear. I don't haul heavy & I am not a hard core off roader. The maximum height tire that I will run is a 32" (255/75/17). Considering Dobinsons, OME, or Ironman also. Been researching alot & I am concerned with the QC of the Ironman. Any opinions ?

    Plenty of people run those setups here, they all have their pros and cons. Just comes down to what your use will be and what you’re willing to pay. From what I’ve seen, Ironman has great customer service and products.

    We run a RevTek kit with stock shocks in the front, and the RevTek supplied shocks in the rear, along with JBA control arms in the front. They, (RevTek) have lots of different options as far as lift/leveling height, we had the dealer install the lift/leveling kit, that was supplied with diff. drop also. Just another option, we do not do a lot of "heavy" off-road either, just enough to get a "taste." BTW, we run 275-70-17's20201222_095107[702]JBA UCA.jpg

    FWIW - Kit availability may come into play. At least a couple of kits I've researched are on backorder well into next year.

    For your uses, I would just get some adjustable shocks and keep your stock coils.

    That's what I did and it was inexpensive and works great!

    I went with Eibach adjustable front shocks because I thought they rode better than the bilstein 5100's.

    Checkout the forums for cornfed suspension. I got 1.5” in the front. It was easy to install.

    Also, Toytec sells a 1.6" front lift coil for our trucks.
