    Without a spacer lift.
    Is it possible to buy a non adjustable shock that will fit inside my existing coil overs, that will raise(level) the front? (Approx.2 inches)
    I know Blistiens and other normally more expensive shocks can be bought that are adjustable but are there shocks that would raise the front approximately 2 inches that aren't adjustable..
    It seems that if I know how much I would like to raise my truck, why buy an adjustable shock when maybe a regular shock would work and not have to pay for the adjustability.
    Thinking maybe a better shock at the same price as an adjustable Bilstein ?

    Check the Deals section for Xkstensive Off road sale. Bilstein 5100 lift shock only for 198 bucks. Yes it's adjustable but its the best you're gonna get for the price. Its not like youre paying a bunch of extra money for a couple snap ring locations. And 5100 is a great shock.

    Yes , that might be my best option, was just wondering if there were other options.
    Also...just of put this in the first post.
    The way our trucks are designed, is it the shock,coil over or combination that provides the lift?

    So the "perch" or whatever it might be called(what the coil over sits on) raises the coilover providing lift.
    Are there non adjustable shocks that have this "perch" that provide an approximate 2 inch lift , fit a 3rd gen tundra,that are as good as the Bilstein , price range, ride etc? ( i know might be subjective, If there is any)

    Not that I know of. Less than 100 bucks for a piston/ nitrogen shock with lift is the best I've heard of.

    Aside from the Bilstein 5100 shock, there's also the Bilstein 6112 coilover. You can assemble it so that it gives you about 1.9" of front lift when installed.

    Toytec might know of other options that include a non-adjustable coilover setup that provides 2" of lift. Maybe Old Man Emu?
