    Hi All! I'm new here and looking for suggestions. I'm not very mechanical so forgive me. I have a 2014 Tacoma TRD Sport. I do a lot of highway driving but am looking at lift kits, new tires, wheels and some accessories. I'd like to upgrade my truck but nothing to crazy. I'm looking for some help and suggestions on new equipment. I like the blacked out look. Thank you!

    In the "nothing too crazy" category you're going to want to lift no more than 3" and run a tire size of 265/75/16, or 265/70/17. This will give you a nice look without having to chop away at your body or frame to keep from rubbing. For tires you want to stay away from MT (mud terrain) because they are generally too noisy in the highway. A good AT (all terrain) will still give you an aggressive profile while providing a quiet ride. I have Falken Wildpeak AT3's on my truck and highly recommend them.
    You're going to find lift kits priced between $200 - $5000 so do your research and decide what's best for you instead of asking people what you should get.

    EDIT: That truck you just pictured is hardly in the "nothing too crazy" category.. Disregard everything I just said and get a 6" lift with some 40" Super Swampers

    As mentioned already best bet search take some notes. I would hit Headstrong Off road up for your lift they will set you up for success. The truck you have pictures has a bill bar, no idea on the rims, no idea on the running boards, no idea on the rims, after market fender flares painted nicely to match and the lift. Put time and thought into the lift and save to do it right if you need to. Cheers

    The truck pictured has a pretty big lift, so it probably doesn't ride the best, unless he dropped some serious coin in it.
    Your best bet is to start with price range. That will help a lot more in your decision. Some lift can be accomplished pretty cheaply, but ride will suffer. I would personally recommend going with either a Fox, Icon, or King setup since they all have pretty good reviews on here. You can get a couple inches from them and ride will more than likely improve. Someone is running a deal on Icon right now, so you could hop in on that and save some money.
