    hi guys,

    I am looking to change my shocks and springs out both front and rear. They are stock right now. I would like to get a little more lift IF POSSIBLE....? I don’t want to go extreme but if there are strut assemblies that give me more lift without doing other mods I’m in. Thanks for the info!

    Current setup is:

    Base model 4cyl taco

    Fat bobs front spacers
    Rear AAL’s

    Black box mod
    30” kO2’s

    Everything else is stock!

    Sadly the only lift you cane get is the spacer lift. Nothing else will work

    We don't have anymore options after the spacer/AAL, unless you decide to go Mid or Long travel. New struts and shocks might give you a slight lift, if your old ones are blown. I'm currently also running a 1in body lift on my truck.

    Jump up to 33s with us if you want more lift:D

    Might just do the 33’s. How exactly do I accomplish a body lift? What would I need for that? Does that intail spacers on the chassis?

    Basically going to be like 10 hockey pucks wedged in between the body mount locations. I wouldn't really go past 1in, unless you wanna deal with other problems.

    I haven't experienced anything bad with mine. It's makes the truck look great. The kit comes worth everything you need. I got it to get extra clearance for the 33s.

    Do you have pictures of the Tacoma after the body lift? Does your spare tire still fit under the truck bed like stock?
