    I would like your suggestions on a good quality suspension lift kit around 4.5 inches. I would like to run 33s on my taco. My budget is $1600ish give or take for the kit. Please let me know what the best kit is for around that price. There are so many options I don't know what to choose. I've got a 2013 double cab short bed... open to all your suggestions!

    You are going to get a host of opinions.

    I have a 4x4 DCLB. I installed Ext. Travel icon C/O (Set to 2.5 inches). Icon Tubular UCA's. Icon Rear Resi shocks. Dakar leaf spring with one overload leaf taken out. Nitto Grappler 285/70/17. Minor trimming of fender.

    Its my daily driver besides my work truck. Love the ride and IMO the best for the money. Also my opinion is to not go above 3inch lift, cause then you are talking about a lot more money. (again just my opinion, I still think they look good).

    This is with 400 pounds in the back. and my driveway isn't perfectly level.

    Just an FYI 99% of moderate lifts don't help clear bigger tires if your going offroad. I have tall 33-1/2's on about 1" of lift.
