    Looking to put a 3" lift on my 2014 trd sport Tacoma. Heard and read many things about which lift to get. What do you all think? I do little off-roading so I'm looking for a smooth ride but want to be able to off road occasionally.

    I'm looking at doing an OME setup but also waiting to see what people say about the new Bilstein 6112s.

    I had All-Pro standard 3" leaf springs when I had my Tacoma and the ride was absolutely amazing.... Definitely the best money spent when I lifted my truck.

    Bilstein 5100s with OME 887 coils and either a new leaf pack or an AAL in the rear. That's a quality lift that rides smooth, is offroad capable, and won't break the bank. Also probably should get some Light Racing UCAs so you can get a proper alignment after it's all said and done.

    Good word of advice, I have a question I'm new to Tacomas and lift kits for them, how about the spindle replacement, I been reading on maxtrac, what's the word ?
    Or just the coils and leaf on the rear with new shocks do I need UCA's with the spindle or just the UCA's and no spindle .

    Spindle lifts are primarily used on prerunners, not 4x4. Sometimes new UCA's are required with 3" or more of lift.

    What height are you looking to achieve? A spindle lift will provide 4" of lift. If you're wanting to keep it under 3", I would suggest some OME or Eibach coils.
