    Hey

    I just traded my Jeep JKU for a 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport. Looking for info on building it up some, with lift, new tires, etc. Will work on getting a pic. I live in Geraldine, Montana and run Sasquatch Watch of Montana.

    Hey


    Question: Does anyone have experience with ReadyLift suspensions? I am look at them among others, it's a 3" from 2" rear and a add a lief, it's a spring lift and a spring block in the rear (not a huge fan personally). Also considering a Eibach shock setup too for front and rear. My truck only has 18K miles right now. I want a decent bang for the buck and something that will hold up long term. Any thoughts? Thanks.


    Pete

    I think it all depends on your plans for your truck. I wanted to be more offroad worthy so I went with a suspension lift (Icon). Price is of course another consideration. Whatever you choose I would say just get what you want even if it's a little more than you want to spend. You don't want to regret it later like I've done before.

    Cheers

    Hey

    Which Icon lift setup (stage) did you go with? Is there anything with it that you don't like or seen something from another vendor that might be better?

    I went stage 6. It's definitely pricey but that's what fits my needs a budget best. I love it and performance is amazing.

    Kings, Old Man Emu and Kibbe tech are ones I would consider.

    Hey

    The plans for my Tacoma is more Overland based camping. I do Sasquatch Research with mine, so it's mostly back roads, forest service trails and not that much rock crawling. Some loads will be heavy with camping gear, research gear, large cooler/fridge, extra battery for fridge and a rear kitchen setup for camping. I already have a Century topper (same as a Lear) on it. My immediate plans are for a lift, new tires (I like the Cooper STT Pro's or the Maxx's), and rock sliders, ditch lights and some other kind of from light bar maybe.

    Pete
