    hey! Made the transition into a tacoma trdOR this past weekend after thoroughly driving every truck on the market and thinking what I'd like to use truck for, weekend off road trips, and what mods would be necessary......needless to say it all came down to this beautiful truck. Can't complain....always thought I'd go full size but this blew me away. Crawl control, MTS all the works I'd need to get my weekend warrior @$$ out of some hairy places....anyways, love the tacoma, wife loves that's "everyday is taco Tuesday now" ✌Kyle

    That works out well that you're forced to wait. It gives you a hell of a lot of time to research!! I was in the same boat and was able to confidently pick out (and install) my own lift.

    No worries man! My goal was a budget lift without sacrificing performance or quality. I ended up deciding on Bilstein 5100s all around, Old Man EMU 885 coils in the front, and a 2" single add a leaf in the rear. This whole set up cost be ~$630 and I installed everything myself. Headstrong Off road offers this exact kit in a nice bundle.
