Lift kit ideas

What is a good route to go about lifting my 3rd Gen Tacoma 2017 2wd? I have been looking around YouTube and here to figure out what I should go with, but keep ending up at the end of a rabbit hole with no luck. Maybe I'm slow or something, but any help/ ideas please let me know! other than that, ya'll have a great day and keep on keepin on!


I guess another question that pops up into mind now would be if I do coil over set, would i need to add any leaf springs?

 

We need goals and budget.

There's spindle lifts for 2WD tacomas, they are quite big.

If you want to bomb along service roads a proper coil over set would be a good idea.

Simple cheap spacer lifts work but don't drive as well as the other choices.

 

Thank you for your feedback Bishop84!

Typically by now your rear springs have worn and sagged, so adding a curved new spring will only cause a temporary lift, so most replace the rear spring with an Icon or Dever set, or just simply add a 1" block for simplicity, with longer rear shocks.

If you want a simple lift, read up on Bilstien 5100's for Tacoma's. They are the best budget lift and work with a simple rear lift.

I’ve been looking at those actually, was curious if I could even put them in a 2wd. If so I’m my sender is somewhat solved!

 

2WD and 4WD are identical for suspension, you are good to go!

It was the older tacomas with 5 lug nuts that had varying suspension. All 2005-2023 6 lugs effectively share the same bolt in suspension.

I'd say get 5100's and a rear 1" block, or if the rear springs have had it, get a new leaf pack with 1" lift.

 

So neatoo!

Thank you so much for your information and time!

I’m great full, that really clears up a lot of things for me.

 

Another thing to consider; are you planning to add weight, haul weight, or tow?
If so, at the least, I’d add a leaf, or better yet, a new leaf pack. If not, chuck a booth in there and roll on!

 

Bilstein 5100 in all four corners and a 1 inch block for the rear spring
Set the fronts Bilstein to the second notch. You won't be disappointed.

 

Eventually I’m gonna but a hitch on trucky, probably wont haul heavy things, but I do have a tent on my truck so that just adds weight with all my camping gear in the truck.

2tons of pea gravel made my truck sag low though so hoping if I gotta do stuff like that again, it wont be as bad if I have a suspension lift.

 

I’ll definitely take this into consideration, thank you for your feedback and your time!

 

If I end up doing bilstien 5100, do I need to
switch out my uca’s, and or ball joints? Still stock uca’s, but they look/feel fine.

 

No need to to change control arms or ball joints for just adding 5100's.
