Stock Tacoma with a future plan

I am new to the forum as of today. As of now, I have a pretty much stock 2011 Tacoma DC TRD Offroad 4X4 in super white. I am in the process of getting some FJ Trail Teams TRD Black wheels. I was also looking at getting a new set of tries. As of now I currently have 275-70R-16 AT but was about to go with a 275-75R-16 MT. I was also looking at going with a set of wheel spacers set at 1.25" to give the truck a wider appearance. I have thought about doing a lift in the future but I didn't want to get into replacing new UCAs. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments that could be helpful? Thanks,

 

if you stay as close to or under 2.5" you might not need UCA's. 2.5" if the point where its a hit or miss for alignment

 

Welcome! A good and fairly inexpensive way to lift would be bilstein 5100's with eibach coils in the front and an aal in the back. not getting up into 3" range with the 5100's set at 0 so you wont need new uca's.

 

WildcatTaco, I have looked at the idea of Bilstein 5100's but if I added the add a lift to the rear and set the front shocks at 0 wouldn't just the rear be lifted only or does the coils give it a lift? What are your thoughts of the add a lift specs? Thanks,

 

rear shocks dont lift so you should worry about that when buying a set of bilstein shocks

 

the eibachs give about 1.6 inches by themselves. an add a leaf (depending on the one you get) can get you 1.5 - 2.5 inches. if you want to level the truck dont get an aal, just the eibachs and 5100's. i dont have them myself yet but i do plan on going with that setup.
