    Hello everyone,

    I am new to the TW and I wanted to see if anyone is running the same set up I want to run.
    I have some 265/70/17 ko2’s on Trd pro 4Runner wheels currently on my 2019 tacoma sport 4x4
    I am looking for a 3/1 or 3/2 lift or leveling kit. not sure if the tire will look small with the lift kit.
    I don’t do any off roading. This truck is my daily driver.
    My questions are

    1. What’s the best and inexpensive lift kit or leveling kit you would recommend
    2. Will the tires look small on the lift
    3. I am also looking for a trd pro skid plate.

    Lots of information about this here. Try using the search option. There is alot more to lifting these trucks than just installing a set of coilovers. Do lots of research before you buy anything. Good luck with your truck and welcome to TW.

    If your going to wheel your truck, the cam adjuster tabs and the rear spring hangers will bend. Look into Marlin Crawler's HD LCA braces and BAMF HD rear spring hangers. This is just 2 places on your truck that will need repairs if you seriously wheel. Good luck.

    Leveling is fine, just stay off nasty trails.

    3/2 is the answer, the 3/1 kits are for the 05-15 tacomas, the 16+ sits higher.

    265/70R17 with 3/2 is pretty much the most common lift, because dealers install this lift. I've installed many many lifts like this.

    With the chin spoiler removed, 2000$ makes it look like a nasty new truck. You can always upgrade the suspension later depending on your needs.

    Only issue is the left axle growls, so you have to install the ECGS bushing, which you can find many threads about on here.
