    Ok so I’m kinda new to the whole Tacoma world before this truck I was running a 06 Duramax so in terms of what suspension is best for Tacomas I have zero clue. Basically just want any and all unbiased and or biased opinions on what I should go with for a 2.75-3” lift with good ride quality on road but most importantly off-road.

    You should be happy with any of those brands, what you're looking for is called a "mid travel adjustable coilover" up front and in the rear get a Dobinsons or Deaver leaf pack spec'ed to your vehicle weight.

    Also check out @AccuTune Offroad for more info to your specific criterion.

    Oh and get the full rear setup from Archive Garage, Hammer Hangers in the very least.

    Yeah +1 on the Hammer Hangers. Those are a must if you are wanting to tame the rear end. HHs did more to help my ride quality than the Elka 2.5 DSC shocks and Dakar leafs.

    All depends on your budget.
    Keep in mind that fox and kings are progressive dampening and icon and bilstein are digressive. So they will be on the firm side. wish I knew that before I went with bilstein.
