    Good for him ! If he or anyone else has the money for it , then why not right ?

    I'm 20 years old and I bought my 2016 Sport in November of 2015. Just a little hard work and saving up does the trick ;)

    A question, and it's probably been answered in multiple ways which I have read on a few on these forums etc.
    I have a 2016 Tacoma TRD Off-road, 4x4.
    The only thing I want to do to the suspension is to level it. 90% of my driving is on hard pavement....other is sand at the beach or cheating across the esplanade to get to the feeder when traffic backs up on the freeway. ; )
    I have Nitto's G2's 265/70/17's....that I'm keeping.
    So should I go with just a 1" spacer up front and if so what would you recommend?
    Or is it better to go with the new Bilstein's designed for the 2016, up front....and adjust to what setting?
    And any recommendations on where to purchase.
    Thanks for any input!
    Not trying to gum up thread, if you want to reply you can send personal message. Thanks!

    How much lift are you looking for and what size tire do you want to run? Are you looking to lift or just level the front out with the back?

    Half inch top spacer on each side will give you one inch of lift on each side. That should get you damn near level. Super easy install also.

    It also has allot to do with how you were raised and the quality of stock you came from. (Parents) Some of us were not so lucky..:(

    2016 TRD sport 4x4 DCSB 2" lift 285/65/18 and loaded
    2" lift,18"rims, 32" tires,pro shifknob, black emblems etc
    This ^should work pretty good
    Or u can put 1" spacers on the front which it will give u around 1 3/4 lift and 1/2" block on the back
    This way It sits pretty level as well
    And your whole truck will look like is a little higher

    I winterized my trucks........

    Not really.

    I lived in Moscow, Russia for a few years, early 90's.
    Use to go to Baikonor, Kahzakstan....Russian launch site.
    One trip during the winter it was ambient -40C...wind was blowing 30 knits for 5 days.....this Texas boy froze his posterior off!

    It may not look too good, but it will sure keep bird droppings, frost ice and snow off the cab and
    windows.

    Little tree air fresheners. Clazzio black leather seat covers.
    Priorities!
    Bought all my rigs by myself! FJ when I was 19. First Tacoma, 2010 TRD sport when I was 23. And was able to save money and pay cash for my loaded 16' TRD off-road. It definitely feels good to buy a new rig all on your own. My case 3 ha.
    If momma and daddy are paying for it, hopefully he's a hell of a kid and deserve it?
