    Hey guys I need some advice. I have a 2019 Tacoma. I'm wanting some type of suspension lift. 2 ton3 inches. Honestly won't see a lot of off road time but I want something quality that rides good. Currently have 265 70 17 ridge grapplers which I plan to stay with with plans of 275 in the future. Help please

    I did this for about a grand. Don't do a spacer lift. Good luck.

    Welcome, thats a pretty loaded question. Do you have a budget in mind. Lifts will vary in both price and quality from a few hundred dollar spacers lifts to several thousand dollar setups.

    If you are not offroading a lot then I would recommend something like and OME kit.

    Some people have good luck with spacers but I personally will never recommend them. A full replacement is always better.

    Common brands include but not limited to:

    King
    ADS
    Fox
    OME
    Bilstein
    Icon
    etc

    Depends on your wallet. Sky is the limit on lift choices. My opinion, don’t build for 1% of the time. Rouge Offroad, Headstrong Off Road, Accutune, Down south Motorsports... all good companies to look in to

    My budget is like 2500 tops. I'm kinda clueless to be honest. Would yall suggest a leaf or block for rear? I definitely don't want a spacer lift I want to do it right

    I did Icon Stage 3 (0-3 inch) suspension lift with reservoirs and I am very happy! Running 285x70x17 BF Goodrich mud tires. The ride is smooth and bumps and curbs and rocks are very smooth as well so far.

    Do yall think my 265 60 17s would look okay until I could eventually upgrade to a bigger tire?

    I ran the stock tires until they were done while lifted. It looks fine. In the winter, I run a stock size winter tire. Looks fine.

    Just so you know going wider usually requires some trimming of plastic and/or body mount
