    Hello everyone i have a 2023 Tacoma TRD sport 4x4 with a simple body leveling kit installed but what i really want is to lift my truck for more ground clearance and bigger tires. Can anyone recommend how much lift is acceptable and where to purchase a complete lift kit?

    2" Bilstein 5100 is the best bang for the buck. Bigger better shocks than the OEM Off Road Bilstein shocks. No brainer.

    Bilstein is a popular option but I did not like the ride at all with the bilstein 5100. They are ok for my wife’s 4runner but it felt way too rough for my Tacoma. Everyone is going to recommend what they have personally put on.

    Are you doing more street driving or do you plan to be out on the trail every weekend? And ask yourself if you want digressive, progressive, or linear. I really wish when I first lifted my vehicle that someone explained the differences between the valving. Then go from there.

    No more than 2-2.5 for the front, do the driver side diff bushing. expect to adjust rear parking brake line slack if 2 or more for the rear

    Welcome to the forum! You're going to get a million different opinions and a lot of it really comes down to what you want to do?
    If it's pure looks and never offroading (nothing wrong with that) just go blocks and spacers and call it a day. Will also be the cheapest.

    Moderate offroading, but no crawling or desert Baja'ing? I personally love my OME setup with heavy leafs. Gave me 2.5in of lift and has been going strong for over 55k miles now.

    Frequent crawling or offroad racing? Mid/long travel and the sky is the limit in terms of cost.
