    I've decided to go with this lift.

    https://bilsteinlifts.com/shop/05-and-up-tacoma/bilstein-adjustable-lift-kit-with-5100-shocks/

    I have a 2006 access cab four-wheel-drive trd sport. I want to put bigger tires on it (in it for look not wheelin) I have heard mixed reviews on if I need to do upper control arms or not. If anybody has this lift and has done it what tire size can I do and do I really have to do upper control arms. I will be putting the new tire size on the stock 17 inch rims.

    Toytech Ultimate Lift Kit, LR UCA's, T3 eyelids, 285/75/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers, FN Type X wheels, Debadged, Homer Taco Raptor Grill and lower valance grill, painted lower valance, blacked out skid plate, Flyze Eye interior light, LED interior lights, EZ down tailgate
    This is the one I have, the Toytech Ultimate Lift kit, and I am very happy with it. I also added LR UCA's. I am running 285/75/16's right now. You will see a lot of people are happy with the kit you chose. There is a constant debate between all lift kits: Icon, Billy's, OME, etc, etc, etc.. Good luck, hope it turns out good!
