Recommended leveling kit

2018 taco. Wanted to know if you had any recommendations for leveling kits. wanted to do 2.5" in front and 2" in back.

 

If you want better functioning suspension go for OME Dakar mediums for the rear and Bilstein 5100 shocks with OME 885 springs for the front. If you just want looks spend a lot less and put a spacer in the front and blocks on the rear.

 

I’d probably just go with spacers. Any recommendations for some or are they all pretty close in functionality?

 

Spacers are all similar in design and functionality and are typically a straight forward install. I'm sure some members on here can recommend a set based on their experience as mine is limited in regards to spacers. The only thing I can recommend is to get an alignment afterwards.

 

General consensus around these parts is to skip the spacers and go with a proper spring lift. 5100s and OME springs with a 3 leaf pack in the back will net you pretty much exactly what you are looking for and won't break the bank.

Sitting on the 5100s set at zero, 887s with the 3 leaf AAL, 265s

 

Motofab does spacers and then just add some rear shocks. I did toytec rears. The spacers gives the front suspension a rougher down travel d/t the angle, preload. More bump steer with a spacer lift. For dd and some off-road it will be fine. I don't see replacing bilsteins with bilsteins. Like putting lipstick on a pig. I've run the bilsteins and they're stiff and choppy. Way better than fox 2.0, those might as well be welded. Maybe they run better on the taco than a Jeep. But for 300 bucks I'm lifted and it works well.

 

I did 2 1/4 spacers up front 1.5 blocks in the rear with bilstein 5160’s shocks. Tires are Falken 265/75/16’s. The rear is a bit more stiff than stock but tire pressure adjustment made it manageable. Also there is more understeer when entering a corner at high speed. I don’t go off road so spacer lift was the right choice. My only regret is I should went 285/75/16.

 

I'm putting a tough country lift 3in" in the front and 2in" in the rear keep stock shocks have pictures next Saturday afternoon of before and after.

FYI the lift is $670 out the door im Pretty satisfied for the price cause I want the warranty on the work so I don't screw with my truck warranty .
