New taco owner, 21 offroad X series: looking for 3" lift kit - some issues?

I contacted Rough Country (RC) and they indicated that the X Series has some special mods to the control arms etc., and that their kits will not work with the X series trucks. Does anyone understand the X series MODS they are referring to and what the limitations are? Is there a good turn key 3" lift kit available for the X series, or should I piece it together myself?

Goals:
- Overlanding
- Forest trails
- High desert
- I don't want to destroy my taco
- Family oriented fun
- Keep reliability

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

 

The x series is only a cosmetic thing. The uca’s are the same as every other Tacoma model. However I’d stay away from rough country

 

Thanks for the heads up on RC

 

since it seems you’re in a budget due to rough country being mentioned I’d do this with an AAL

2” lift max unless you to decrease the reliability of components over time

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Honestly, I love the bilstein 5100, but they have 6400 which are amazing.
