    I recently bough myself a 2003 Toyota Tacoma. My first upgrade I want to do is get a complete suspension kit. An recommendations?? I was thinking Icon Stage 3 or Stage 4 but can't decide on what I want. Would you guys recommend using Icon or some other brand.

    Welcome to the Club!
    I just joined Feb 14. Mine is a 2017 Tacoma SR 2wd. I love it. I traded a Dodge Dakota 4 door 2wd . It used too much gas. I picked up a 100 miles more with my Tacoma. I go 400 miles on a full tank now!

    I am, mines a second gen tho. I love my icons, but if you’re not adding any armor, 650lb springs make the ride a bit stiff. If you like that, great.

    If you want a softer ride, try fox or king.
