Default Looking around at suspension

I am looking for advice from some people that know more than me. I am in the market for a performance off road suspension (front and rear)kit for an 06 4x4 tacoma. I do not want anything over 3.5", so that rules Fabtech out. I have been looking at DR and King, but can not find prices on either.

Realistically I do not want to do a whole lot of modification, nothing that requires new a-arms or anything.

Does anyone have personal reviews on King and DR? Any side affects to these kits, damage to the vehicle, gas mileage, needing new tires, ect. ?

Also, is Roadrunner still around? can't find their site.
Thanks,
Ryan

Check out Toyota Nation. They have more for the newer Tacomas.
I would prefer the DR. But that's my opinion. ToyTec is nice. But search Toyota nation and you can get feeback from the guys who actually own the kits. Taco5 on there can get you a discount with ToyTec.

From what i know and have heard both coilovers are great. YOu really can not go wrong with them. For just the coilovers you are looking around a thousand bucks. Then you will need to raise the rear a few inchs to match the front.your ride should improve with them and i would not go above 2.5inchs or so just do to the cv angles and the ride will be better. then you can through some 32's on 8inch wide wheels and you will be looking good. YOur MPG will go down a little but hey you have a truck not a car. RED
