    05 Tacoma sr5 & Trd (stock)
    Hey guys I just recently purchased a 2005 Tacoma sr5 and Trd ,4x4 6 speed manual, and I want to lift it . I priced out some lifts I'm hoping to stay under 600$. I want to do a 3" suspension lift , not just blocks either like all new shocks and coils. So any suggestions ?
    Thanks
    Brandyn

    Two good options for you. One, OME (old man emu). Great products and a lot of good reviews from then. I myself had the OME 3 inch lift on my old 01 and it was amazing. A lot of guys on here also run Bilsteins with Eibach coils and add a leafs. Also another great idea.

    your budget is unrealistic for a complete 3" lift thats not spacers and blocks imo.

    I just lifted mine got 3 inches. Ordered 4 5100's DSM for 320 and OME 885 w 2 in AAl from toytec got all shipped for about 620. But if you go that route go on and order the LR UCA from headstrong off road for 375

    Yes but its not unrealistic. And its better than spacers and blocks


    IMO OP you should save till you have around 1500 and buy an OME setup with Dakars and LR UCAs
