    So I have a 2008 Tacoma and I just bought 20x12's with -44 offset. I also bought a 3" suspension lift. It already has a leaf springs added to the back witch lifts it 1". So I wanted to leave and leave the extra leaf and add a 1" leveling kit to the front so I would be at a total of 4" so I could clear my wheels and tires better. Would I be able to just add the leveling kit also or would I have to buy new control arms and everything? Because the 4" from rough county comes with controls arms. Also would i need to drop the transfercase? Any help would be appreciated!

    3" and you'll probably want to do uca's. You will be at about the limit of travel on the stock uca's. Some folks get by with the stock uca's, you'll hear different opinions there. You have a second gen you can leave the diff drop kit on the bench. Again, you'll hear others say different.

    Four inches is kinda high for a 4wd. Just my opinion...

    With 20x12s I think it'll be a mall crawler
