    Hey guys so yesterday I just purchased a 03 Tacoma & I want to lift it. I formerly own a xrunner so I have no idea about lifts and tires?!? I want to lift it like in the picture. Also what wheel tire size combo would you recommend?

    It's mainly going to be used as my daily and when I take my mountain bike out. So I wouldn't need anything really expensive. Thanks in advance. uploadfromtaptalk1428264312032.jpg

    Just finished my toytec ulk with 2 inch add a leaf and light racing uca's and I love it. My stock suspension all the way around was spent. Now it feels so much better. Cornering. Pot holes. Better take off and traction. I'm pumped. I think it's definitely worth it to get the light racing upper control arms to get the alinement just right for a 3 inch lift. Can't be happier with it uploadfromtaptalk1428270888022.jpg

    You'll probably find that no amount of research makes it an easy choice. Whatever you do dont lower it.
