96 tacoma lift body vs. suspension ???????

i am torn between a three inch body lift or a three inch lift kit and what brand. give me your opinions and experiances with anything you have used. looking for something on a low to medium budget

 

personally i would got with the suspension lift kit, but everyone have there own opinions on with they like. whats the low to medium budget exactly? cause if your planning on putting anything bigger than a 33 your gonna need a body lift along with a suspension lift. says you got a 96 reg cab i have the same thing thought i could help cause i already know exactly wst i wanna get.

 

Toytec ultimate kit.

 

I have 3" Body lift ,with 33"x12.5x15 BF Goodrich,I love it ,rides smooth .will go through any thing.check my vids on you tube.http://www.youtube.com/user/ibnfalasteen63#g/u

 

The suspension lift is 10x easier to install.a bl leaves you with unsightly gaps between body and frame. I removed the bl that was on mine and the hardware that came off was garbage.

 

I vote suspension lift 1000%

 

go with the OME 3 inch suspension lift and get the new leaf pack in the back to have a total suspension upgrade your truck is 15 years old and will only benifit from a suspension lift where as a BL does nothing but giving it a little bit of clearance bit more then you might be willing to spend but in the long run you will love it.

 

x2! Lots of good info in the Suspension Forum, BTW...

 

thanks to all for the help now all i gotta do is get the money

 

love the the little standard cab. i went from a 84 extended cab to a 97 chevy extra cab long bed then back to this. and this truck just seems to beat them all

 

yea man i love my reg cab i just need a new set of tires. i want a lift but its gonna be a while before i get it
these are the parts i want to get im gonna have to piece it together over time and i left out the leaf pack i want

front and back shocks you can find a discount code on this site its about 10 bucks but hey its 10 bucks

Coils alot of people go with the toytec eibach coils or OME im getting these my buddy just got his in they look sick, also i heard when you lift your truck 3" it give you alignment problems and UCA's help with that. theres also Total Chaos UCA's Drop diff kit

 

If you're still looking for a cheap lift I bought a 2.5 inch Daystar suspension lift and am having no trouble our of it at all. Second day I had it i went and did flex tests and it made more of a difference than I expected. Also my ride quality improved which wasn't what I was expecting at all. As for durability it's been able to handle everything I've done, and my truck isn't used as a mall crawler.

 

well i finally broke down and spent the money for a lift. a tough country 3 inch suspension lift toyo m/t 33/12.50/16 and a set of bushwacker flares. that was one spendy bill pics up later

 

Sweet man can't wait to see the finished product! Its gonna look sick!

 

so the first one is what i began with (close) and the next four are almost what ill end with.
minus-
toyo m/t
racing seats
sound system
rock sliders
and tube bumbers

not a bad start though
