    I am purchasing a DCLB Mag Grey Sport on Saturday and need help with a lift kit. I know they didn't change any of the suspension I just need some recommendations for what type of lift I should put on my Taco. I had a 2012 with a 3 inch spacer but was thinking to do billstein this time. Thanks

    Fronts:
    Spacers=Cheap=Nonadjustable=Worst Performance
    5100=Moderate$=Adjustable=Decent Performance
    Fixed Coilover (OME and Others)=Moderate$$=Nonadjustable (but many different springs for different heights)=Good Performance if correct spring chosen
    Adjustable Coilover (ICON, FOx, Others)=expensive=Fully adjustable=Best Performance

    Rears:
    Block=cheap=worst performance
    Add a Leaf=Moderate$=decent performance
    Complete new leaf set=expensive$=best performance

    The majority of 2015 lifts will fit on the 2016, but check with supplier prior to ordering.

    I agree that is a great option but there are other cheaper options that are still the "right way". Any full coil over like an OME set up is not a wrong choice.

    It really depends what you're using the truck for. Lots of guys here are diehard 4 wheelers. So yes they want the best suspension they can get with the most travel and soft.

    But if you're just a weekend dirt runner you don't need to get crazy. Just some 5100 and blocks.

    If you drive on the street 99% of the time and go to like a winery once in a blue moon where u park in the dirt lift blocks and tires and just fine.
