    For a while ive been wanting a lift switching back and fourth about what lifts and this past month i was close to ordering a RCD 4.5 lift which i really really like but everyone doesnt like the DB lift and now that done research i have a feeling i might regret getting it bc of cutting the crossmember but the new crossmemeber is a lot stronger with the lift. Recently i have been interested with a 3' in lift but i want a little taller than that but just with still constinting the same parts at having a 3in lift but no spacers at all those spacers are garbage so any member can help me getting what i want, which is the having a 4 in lift with out a DB and spacers, while running 33's with NO rubbing Please some one help me ohh and price is no concern

    Assuming you're 4x4, anything much greater then 3" can cause potential premature wear of the CV.

    As for the NO rubbing, you'll probably have to cut some to get that, it's almost inevitable.

    RCD 4.5" Lift isn't bad if that's what you like.

    alot of metal, small engine, decent travel.
    caged, camburg long travel, 50t leafpack (soon to be installed) light rack over cab, 5pt harnesses etc
    to get 4 inches of lift with a 4x4 you would need long travel

    1. It's called a punctuation :p
    2. if price is no concern, do a SAS on the front
    3. if that's a little too much, then get some Icon Coil-overs and the All-Pro Standard Leaf pack with U-Bolt flip kit (unless it's just for looks) and new bump stops (unless it's just for looks)
    4. Fuck it. Long Travel with Fox Remote Resi's front and back

    You cut the fenders for long travel because you have, well, longer travel.

    If you HONESTLY have an unlimited budget... SAS. Legitimately the rarest thing to see on a 2nd Gen Tacoma. And absolutely badass

    Solid Axel Swap. If you wanna do harder stuff for off roading, best thing to do. It is NOT cheap, but...

    You would have to do a solid axle conversion (sac) not a solid axle swap (sas) cause you don't have a solid axle already

    Just go Standard Mid-Travel with that budget!

    CO's - King, Icon or Fox
    UCA - TC, Camburg, LR
    Rear Leafs - All-Pro, Dakar's or Deaver's
    Rear Shocks - Match with whatever you use for the front

    DONE :cool:
