    Considering lifting my truck 3 inches and adding some wheel spacers... I'm on a 1,200 budget anyone know if I can get anything decent with that money? Thanks.

    Have been thinking about lifting mine too. Excuse my ignorance, but I have no idea where to start. Toytec has complete lift kits. Body lift or Suspension lift? I have had 2 Tacos, but have no experience with lifting them. Any insight would be awesome!

    What are you looking to do with your truck? Mall crawler? Light trails? what?

    Even if you're mall crawling, please don't do a body lift.

    OME complete 3" lift from Toytec and call it a day.

    Thanks man. The reading helped clear some things up. I know for a fact I will do a suspension lift. I am thinking about taking Matt's advice and do the OME complete 3". Now what about wheel spacers? And I am currently running the TRD Sport 17" wheels with tires that are the equivalent of 31.5's or 32's. I suppose to get the right look I will need to get a larger tire. And to answer the question, it will be a mall crawler about 85% of the time, but some light trails the rest of the time.

    Yes.
    I concur on both parts.

    I know quite a few people run Spidertrax with stock wheels. I don't have any personal experience with them...
