Need a 2-3 inch lift

My wife and I bought our first truck yesterday, a '19 TRD Sport. I would like a 2-3 inch lift but I know absolutely NOTHING about lifting a truck. The lift will be for looks only so we won't be doing any crazy shit or climbing over anything. Not looking for the cheapest way out either but a fortune I don't want to spend. I also want to change the driving dynamics as little as possible. Like I said...I know nothing about this so please don't make sport of me. Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

 

This setup with 2887 front springs and a 3 leaf add a leaf for the rear is a solid, basic kit. You shouldn't need upper control arms (UCAs).

Take a lot of time to learn.

 

^that's a good kit, I just installed one similar except with OME shocks and a single leaf add a leaf. It feels similar to stock but better to me. I got almost 3 inches in the front and about 2 inches in the rear

 

Any rake? thinking of doing the same but dont want any rake, i wouldnt even mind the front to sit alittle higher than rear

 

would love to see pictures as well

 

I've got about .5" rake before settling.

 

This is exactly what I'm trying to do now. Which OME shocks did you use and was that all around?

 

It hasn't really settled any more, still about .5" rake which I like. I did the OME 90021 soft ride shocks all around. The suspension feels way superior to stock to me, more firm but better dampening on rough roads/ bumps.

 

Basically this kit?

Yes, except I got a kit with an add-a-leaf, unlike the kit you linked which has a full leaf replacement. Similar amount of lift, but aals are way cheaper. For the coils I went with 887, and I think I got about 2.5"-3" up front but I didn't measure before I installed it.

 

Yeah after I linked that one, I saw the one right next to it was just an add a leaf. Surprisingly cheaper too. I'm assuming since it was so cheaper for you, you didn't need a new UCA because that would increase it dramatically. Looking at $910 without a UCA.

 

That is what I paid, and i didn't get UCAs either. It got aligned great and feels awesome now. I can highly recommend this set up if you're not going to weigh the bed down much, because if you were going to add a camper top or a roof top tent then you would probably be sitting lower in the back and at that point the full leaf pack would be a better option. If you're installing it yourself leave yourself plenty of time, it took me and 2 friends 8 hours.

 

Great info in this stickied thread.

i did bilstein 6112 and 5160 with Icon AAL in the rear, also did the ECGS bushing replacement. truck is great! around 2.5 in the rear and a little over 2 in the front based on the coil settings

 

looks clean completely unbadged

 

Thanks man, I thought about painting them black and putting them back on but I thought it looked good debadged too.

I was considering the setup you went with but since I have 4x2 I cant really get into the types of conditions where a better quality suspension setup might really come into play anyway. I do still like the idea of rear remote resis because I worry about taking washboards/bumpy dirt roads quickly, but I'm loving my new setup so far.

 

Got any pics? I'd like to compare with DLR's

 

I just installed an Eibach Pro Truck lift. Gained two inches in front and added 1” block in rear.

 

Nice, looks good. I had a silver sky SR before I traded it in on my SR5
