    So I have a 2.7l 4x4 standard cab 97 Tacoma. I was wondering what the best 1-2 inch body lift would be for my truck. I know there is a web site were a guy makes them for various Toyota's and it was pretty inexpensive I just can't remember the site. Also I already have a small lift on my truck so the body lift is just for more bumper clearance.

    Yes, only had it on for about a month but so far so good. I picked the 4Crawler kit after tons of research, general consensus is that it's the best bang for your buck.

    I have that same 4Crawler 1" BL on my truck. He's website is pretty ridiculous, but the products are really good.

    shameless plug, but i have a set of just the body pucks in 1" that you can have for 20 shipped. then you would just need the bolts and maybe the extras that he sells.

    but as others have said, his site sucks, but hes a great guy and makes a great product.

    I run the 4crawler 1.5" BL
    it has been installed since 2005

    ^ no issues

    I have no serious regrets...
    'cept maybe sometimes...
    I wished I'd have gone with the 2" BL kit ;)

    The 4Crawler website is often overwhelming...
    especially to a noob.

    But the fact of the matter is...
    every thing one would want to know
    is most probably already listed on that website.

    proof...
    if you send an email inquiring for whatever reason...
    it is likely your inquiry will be replied to...
    with an attached link to what has already been stated.

    Thanks guys I really appreciate it. Just emailed him and he gave me an estimate so it was fairly simple.
