    I've bought my 1st Tacoma a few months back, a '15 DCSB Off-Road 4x4. I'm 5'8" tall and 170 lbs and can easily get in and out of the truck. If I go with a 3/2 lift , how much harder will it be to get in and out of the truck? Lol

    It'll be about 3 inches higher. So put a thick phone book on your seat and see if you can still get on it without any issues. I don't have any issues but I use the grab handle a lot.

    not having steps didnt bother me but my wife (all 5'2" of her) hated trying to get in and out. so i got N-fabs. and i must admit, makes life easier. i also added the little corner Toyota step to climb into the bed.....best thing i ever did.

    Yeah most people I know can get by without the steps, but for your gf/wife Friends with benefits, it'll help them. I also got the nfab for the wife and it's a decent price point with 2 day free ship

    I recommend sliders because steps are stupid.

    You will be using the handle inside by the windshield a lot too pull yourself up and in.
