I already have the shocks, and am keeping facotry springs, just needed to be sure I did not need longer than stock to run this lift kit, confirmation?

I did it myself in my driveway took me about 5 hours front and back. Much easier to do with 2 people.

I purchased new factory shocks and factory New Springs, when I used the kit. The kit worked fine. Nice lift of about 3" with all new suspension parts. Had it done professionally.

I installed this kit over the summer, and it does not appear to level the truck out, the lift blocks maintain the stock rake to the front. So now I am thinking about buying coil overs for the front (lift springs and shocks)

No you dont. Because its not a dramatic drop. Now if you went with a 4 or a 6 inch drop I would recommend buying new shocks for the amount of drop you did. Like Bilstein or Eibach.

Not just for stock, they have enough travel for what seems to be about 3 inches safely, i put these shocks in with a "Leveling Kit" that raised the back 2 inches and the front about 3-3.5 Inches.

I think the way those lifts are built (triangle on top of triangle with a slight rotation to offset the holes), it looks like you can still incorporate them. My titan rides low on the front with these shocks. I like the idea of the leveling kit. :-)

I personally did not buy a camber kit with my springs. Although my back tires had a slight camber to them, I was due for an alignment anyway. after the alignment they looked fine. if the kit is cheaper then an alignment, then u can go ahead and get the kit, but I figured when else am I going to need the kit.

I added the Rancho shocks up front and the Fab Tech add a leaf 1.5. In the back for a 2-3 inch lift all around. We replaced the rear shocks with bilstien 4600. This is on my 2001 2WD Tacoma. After having done this, I would have put bilstien 5100 in the back. Otherwise everything works/looks nice!

I have a 6.5 inch lift and I had to change out to the lift kits provided rear shocks. These bilstiens only lift the rear end maybe an 1 1/2 inches on there so i thnk they would limit height and could limit travel causing possible damage. Do what i did phone the manufacturer of your lift kit.

No, they are sold separate. I didn't realize it when I ordered mine so I sent them back. I also ordered leaf springs, same thing. So I found a complete lift kit for 500 on eBay.

Yes, this is the correct kit for your truck. If your current front shocks are in good working condition there is no need to replace them. Adding 2.5" is still within the working range of most stock length shocks. However, if your shocks are worn or if you do much off-road driving, you may want to consider upgrading to a longer shock. Most shock manufacturer's offer a shock that is 2-3" longer to accommodate leveling kits. Since the installation of the leveling kit is the same as the installation of new shocks, it may be a good time to do it. We recommend the Bilstein 5100 series shocks. They are a good high-quality shock that works well with the leveling kit. Installing this leveling kit to the front of your truck will have no affect on the rear suspension.

When I installed the lift I remove swaybar links and shocks and tires. Supported the axle with hack stands and then lifted the body up enough to pull the old spring and install the new spring. I did not have to change the sway bar links and the lift came with the shocks. It took me about 3 hours to do. But I'm a mechanic and I had all the tools. It's possible to do I your drive way if you have the right tools.

I put these on my 2011 .... By the time I set the sag, my ride height was the same as it was with the factory shocks with no air. I don't think this is the shock you want if you are trying to raise the bike

Just the 4 springs. You use all the other factory pieces. Im thinking I saw that they fit all years. Mine is an rspec as well and that shouldn't make a difference.

You will need to get the spring or use the ones you already have. This is just the strut

Yes these will work great. You could use stock shocks for a 2" lift, but these are a great upgrade. I put these on my Liberty with a 3" lift and they are a very nice soft ride.

The answer to both questions is yes. These shocks are adjustable, four positions: stock height, 0.75", 1.75" and 2.75" lift settings depending on where you set the spring seat.
