    Hey everyone,

    So I have decided to lift my Tacoma ('05 4x4 - pretty basic). After talking with several people and being on somewhat of a budget, I've decided to go with the 3" adjustable lift from Toytec with Bilstein 5100s (http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/BK0510--Bilstein-Adjustable-lift-kit-with-5100-shocks_p_132.html) and Total Chaos UCAs.

    My question: What else do I need? Struts? Crossmembers? Spindles?

    I originally was going to get the RCD 4" mid travel kit, but went another route to save a few bucks. I am just looking at what's included with the RCD kit that isn't with the other stuff I plan on getting.

    I am not too savvy with the terms/lingo of suspension, but I get the basics.

    Thank you guys as always. Y'all are the shit.

    -Nevada

    If one of those people you talked to wasn't Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road, it should have been.

    Call her, tell her your goals for the truck. If it exceeds your current funds, wait and save. Do it once, do it right.
