    Just bought a '13 taco 4x2 doublecab V6. I dont know much about after market parts so I hope you guys can help me. Its just a street truck, so I dont need anything crazy.

    I want to do a 4' lift. Ive read that I can just upgrade the spindle? Any suggestions on brands? Do I need any other parts? leaf springs, etc?

    I want to get dual exhaust out the back instead of the side, any companies make a cat back exhaust like that?

    I want a good intake and headers. Whats best for the tacomas?

    Any other suggestions are always appreciated! I pick up the truck tomorrow.

    Ohhh, any good websites offering black friday specials? Thanks!

    Good luck finding a 4' lift. I have yet to see one of those.

    A spindle lift will give you 4 inches of lift in the front

    Brands for a spindle lift include, Maxtrac (cheapest, but still high quality), Camburg, and Total Chaos. Maxtrac is your best bet if price is a deciding factor

    Doug Thorley Headers are praised on this site

    Intakes have been tested to do basically nothing but add sound on these trucks

    Exhaust are also just for sound and show.
