    Hi gangs, looking for advice on should I buy 2016 TRD pro bilstein front coils and rear shocks + UCA took off from that year truck with 55000 miles on it? My truck is 2007 TRD off road with almost 150000 miles. I don't do rock crawling or hard core off-roadings. But I took the truck to camping and sometimes we want to take some bad roads to get into remote places. I already planned to do 1-3in lift with maybe a inch or two larger tire. The person is asking $800 for it. Should I buy it? Thanks in advance for your advice.

    From what I've read shocks should be replaced or rebuilt at roughly 70k miles. The TRD Pro Bilsteins can be rebuilt but only by Bilstein as far as I know and they'll only provide 2" of lift in the front, not the 3" you mentioned. You didn't mention what kind of UCAs. Some UCAs are more than the $800 you mentioned, others aren't worth installing...period. I might be picky (been through 5 different UCAs) but I'd only consider TC, MCM or a heimed UCA. Others might say SPC or JBA but those have more parts that could fail and I don't personally know anyone running 'em.
