So i guess this is where i lift my hooptie?

Blew a tire in the dunes, snapped some leafs, and destroyed a rear bumper!

Guess my taco went a little to hard

So my question is what should i buy for a cheap 3 inch lift? I dont want bigger tires so would it look awkward with a 3"?

Or is there a way to coilover a 6" lift until i decide to get bigger tires?

Also, what is a cheap decent lift going to run me?

 

Should've kept the bike in the sand and not the taco. Done that many a times, and I'm sure I will do it a few more! Just don't get a spacer lift. They ride like crap and wear everything out.

 

Haha, i learned my lesson! I'll just buy another tacoma and build it for the dunes

Yeah you don't spacer lift things period -.-

 

What are your goals?? What is your definition of "cheap"??
There are tons of ideas around here about brands and vendors to talk to about thw "best" set up for you...and we don't kow what you are thinking...so you aren't gunna get great answers from a wide open question like this.

 

Well, i like to play a little in the dunes. I like to drive lots of gravel roads, and do some very minor crawling.

In a few years or so i will be ripping whatever i put on it and be putting some long travel on it, but for now im looking for more clearance and a good look really

 

i had 3'' lift from Eibachs and 5100s and then 4.5'' out back with a Wheelers 5 pack, wheelers AAL and 1'' lift shackles all on 31'' tires. It didn't look horrible..was a bit odd at first. Then i put on 1.5'' wheel spacers and it looked great.








However..there is no such thing as a cheap lift..

do some research..do it right, and your be very happy. Go cheap..and you'll regret it later..

Do it right, or don't do it at all

 

Lmao howd you do that anyways?? Just get 5100s and eibachs mang unless you wanna spend some money on some mid travel

 

Blackdawgs former setup^ looks good with the tires and brushguard.

 

Don't go long travel, stick to the bike, waaaaaay more bang for your buck, use the taco to drive girls around.

 

Can i just lift it to get all the bitches then?!

 

I want my truck to look like yours! that is beautiful! and i was think 5100's and eibachs...

 

Thanks man..that was a little over a year ago..much has changed..

but yes it was Eibachs and 5100s, i still have them.

however due to the fact your a 4 banger it'll lift the front a bit more..not a ton, but still more then mine.

as for the rear you are in the same boat as me being a 96 as well Your choice of leaf packs is kinda small..

but i still have the Wheelers 5 pack and AAL and 1'' lift shackles(and another leaf now but different story) and they rode great and flexed awesome.

you'll need 10'' long rear shocks tho, and taller bump stops.

Great setup tho.

 

5100s with eibachs all the way. Do it all right the first time. I didnt get eibachs when i got the 5100s and i really wish i did

 

i guess i just dont know what all to buy... Like if you could just give me a list it would be way easier. I'm not very suspension inclined i guess you could say haha

 

For the front:

ok, and i will have to replace my rear leafs when i do a lift :/

 

5100s here: (call downsouth and ask if you need 5100s or 5125s for a non lifted rear. I got 5100s and when i installed them I had to compress them a little to get them in)

Coils: And if you want, an AAL: nevermind your leafs are busted

 

Tacomaboss beat me to it.. but heres the leafs. Pick one for how much lift you want

 

a AAL is not going to lift the rear higher then the front..not in his case..hell not really in anyones case hardly.

OP: New leafs are always a better way to go..but they are NOT cheap the Wheelers leafs post above me will still give you bro lean(front higher) I have shackles and the leafs and was almost level(still nose high) i then add the AAL to the pack and had the stance like i posted above.

 

Hes got da busted leafs in the back so nvm
