    There are tons of mods to do for Tacomas. Some good, some dumb and most have a specific purpose to cover the user’s needs. Only you can figure out your needs from your vehicle. That’ll dictate your mods.

    2WD. Never mind lol. You can get a spindle lift for the front and a new leaf pack for the rear. Don’t ask me to explain it, google will tell you everything you need to know.

    6112 + 5160 + AAL + Shim, Carrier bearing + 33" = $2600

    Add UCA = $3400

    That gives you 3.5" up front

    ICON Stage 4 suspension. I recently installed the ICON RXT Leaf Pack at option 3. I'm also running 285/65/r18 BFGKO2.

    If you don't plan on having a bunch of weight in your bed, then the ICON stage 4 will be great. I only replaced the leaf pack because I added a bed rack, tent, and a lot of extra weight. TONYA 6.jpg

    Look around headstrongoffroad.com They always have great prices and deals. Their prices are inclusive of tax and shipping. I promise you'll almost never find a better price elsewhere!

    I don’t know for icons, but headstrong actually doesn’t usually have the best pricing for Bilsteins at least. Better to pickup a la carte around the Internet. It is good if you want to click buy once and not worry about the right part numbers.

    also never seen them do a significant sale.

    They're prices are inclusive of shipping and tax. The price you see is what you pay. ICON, KING, and FOX they have some of the best prices. I'm referring to full suspension stages, not individual components.

    It still shows tax for me (in CA). Probably state dependent.

    Tires aren’t lift though.

    I could argue that tires are the only real lift. I get your meaning though.

    That's what I was thinking too haha. Tires are literally the only way you can get more ground clearance short of doing something wild like portal axles. All suspension does is give you room to put on bigger tires which lifts the truck.

    I get what you’re saying and agree. Tires are the only true ground clearance.
