    Howdy everyone!

    New to the forum, have a few questions about upgrades that I would love some help with. The new gen Tacoma won my heart and I couldn't be any happier to be here.

    My truck is my Daily and my weekend warrior. I am looking for a 2 to 2.5 inch lift (not block) to allow me to clear larger tires with no rub at slightly wider than stock. I plan to add new bumpers, winch, bed cap and roofrack for gear. What is a good suspension upgrade that will not sag with extra weight? The dealership recommended the Iron man 2inch lift that has new springs and shocks that they say wont sag with weight. Everyone tells me to stay away from rough country and tough country or any low quality lift... some advice and images if you have a setup like im looking for would be great! Thanks so much!

    Jimmy

    Welcome to the World, if you search lifts under the search engine your head will hurt from all the threads but that is a great way to start...gather the info and make a good informed decision, also Maria @HeadStrong Off-Road is awesome and she can dial you in.

    Welcome, check out the regional NW meet thread. I'd recommend the OME bp51 coil overs and Dakar leaf springs for your lift. Unless you like to spend G's on trendy products because the fan boys argue till they're blue in the face that one is more superior than the other. A few guys locally that have them and have nothing but good things to say. Otherwise you're mixing and matching 2 or 3 different companies products to achieve your desired lift with the required components. Only thing you'd need would be upper control arms to help keep your alignment copacetic, which there are several different companies that provide that option.


    Btw, what part of WA are you from?
