3" Lift Kits Options

need to find the best 3" lift kit options for my Taco. Something the really good but reasonable in price. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Bilstein 6112's in the front
Bilstein 5160's in the rear.
Ad a leaf in the rear.
Spc uca's

Total will be around 1900 shipped/taxes.


Also, there's a search button. This thread gets posted everyday.

 

Cheapest "good" lift method is Bilstein.

Anything cheaper isn't worth doing.

You may want UCAs for 3" to ensure proper alignment. Stay away from spacers/blocks.

Me too I have never heard this question before. I am here to learn.

 

Folks are right, there are a shit ton of these threads, but seem to forget how much bullshit there is to work thru. Kind of like this one is starting to gather.

 

The Full OME kit from @HeadStrong Off-Road includes full front struts and coilovers, rear shocks, and the highly acclaimed Dakar Leaf springs for $1300 plus free shipping to the lower 48. The kit is fully assembled and bolts right on. Provides 2 1/2 inches of lift, but a 1/4 top plate spacer can be purchased for real cheap to accomplish a full 3" lift. High quality parts, from a high quality company, for a good price.

Who cares? New member, new ideas, new answers.....

 

Welcome to TW!

My vote would be this:

Or this:

But if you plan on getting it up to 3", you'll need to shell out another $500 for UCAs. Well.....you won't need to, but you'll wish you did.

 

I agree. While I don't have a taco yet, I've spent endless numbers of hours doing some research. I've looked at Blisten, kings, Icons and OME.
OME by far is best bang for buck. Inexpensive and you have the BDS brand name backing them.
They do have a fully adjustable system which is what I am getting (BP-51), but that's a little higher on the budget end. If you go with their tried-tested-true strut replacement system, you're going to get exactly what you need for a great price.

 

I was thinking that for a while. I want that extra inch though!
Then after many hours of googling.....forget the extra inch.

 

I suggest you try using the search feature and doing some research, this has been covered numerous times already and you will find tons of info and get the answer you seek without a new thread...

Did this ever get solved?

 

Hey OP, I was in the exact same boat you are. I first tried finding a reasonably priced 3" set up. But the more I read the more I heard people saying they reached the limits of their lift and wanted to upgrade, not height but quality. I recommend saving a bit more and getting better quality parts ( kings, fox, icon, ads). Its the buy once hurt once idea im talking about. Just my 2 cents.

 

So would these suspension lifts void a whole warranty or just anything related to the suspension components replaced?

 

never checked the pricing but is OME a lot more than the billys? Figure thats a pretty good lift too
or do they only offer 2" lift?

 

Only the suspension and related components. You can still warranty your radio going out, but maybe not your CV axle. It's at the dealers discretion.

 

Its the only thing really stopping me from throwing mods at my 3rd gen yet.

 

Yeah, that's understandable. What's frustrating is some dealers are super cool about it, while others are mega dicks and try and claim all sorts of BS to avoid doing warranty work.
