    I've got a 13 DCSB TRD Off, I'm tossing around the idea of lifting it 3". I know there's tons of different lifts and companies out there. I'm looking for the easiest and cheapest but most importantly won't mess up my truck. Any help would be great.

    Thanks

I did bilsteins and then went to Icons later. If I could do it over I would have done Icons the first time and saved some money in the long run.

    Thanks everyone

    I don't plan on doing any off-roading besides the normal gravel roads. I'm wanting a lift mainly for looks. Before I had kids I always had slightly lifted trucks. I'm leaning towards the 5100's and AAL or block. What ill effect will this have on other components.

    Again thanks

    Rough rule of thumb is once you lift over 2 inches you start running into alignment issues. If you set the front bilstens at 1.75 and maybe throw a 1.5'' aal in the rear you won't have any issues.

    Here's my '13 DCSB off road that just got a lift yesterday. It has 5100's all around with the front set to .85 and the toytec coils providing 1.6 inches of lift so about 2.5 in the front and added a rear AAL that lifted her behind 1.5 inches. Next thing is to get bigger tires, not sure to get 285's or just go a little taller with 265/75/16 instead of the 265/70/16's I'm running now.
