    Hey guys I am new to the Tacoma world. Just bought a 2015 Trd Sport last week and I am looking at getting a lift done. Initially I wanted to go with a 6" so I could fit some 35's and give the truck a real beast look but I am having troubles finding any for the 2015. Not sure if there is actually a difference from the 2014 and 2015. Having troubles finding a lift has made me consider just going with a 3" to at least get some 33's. Any tips on where I could find the right lift or what I should go with would be much appreciated!!! :cool:

    So I have decided to just go with a 3 inch. Now the decision is to do the 5100 with AAL or Icon stage 3. This is my everyday truck and I am not the biggest offroad aficionado. Just wondering if I will be able to notice a difference in the Bilstein vs. Icon??

    Big difference between billies and icon. hit up the suspension section or use the search and you should find lots of reviews.
    If you really want a 6 inch lift, you can do it. There should be no difference between a '14 and '15

    stock for now
    No expirence with icon here, but the bilstien combined with OME 885x coils ride pretty close to stock in my truck. Only about 2.5" of lift doe.

    Add a leaf will give you 2 in the rear which should level it out pretty good. It might squeak a bit later on down the road but its bearable.

    Welcome OP! :wave:

    I would suggest doing some searching, reading and research. I did MONTHS of research before pulling the trigger with my ICON setup. A lot of it really boils down to what you intend to do with your truck. Hardcore wheelin, pristine mall queen or something in between? In then end, you'll get several different opinions on what you should go with but only you armed with knowledge will know what setup best fits your needs.

    Good luck and keep us posted.

    P.S. I LOVE my ICON setup and it's perfect for me. I wheel in the mountains and off-road (camping, fishing, exploring, etc.) quite a bit from Spring to Fall. It was expensive ($3,200 for front and rear remore resi's, ICON uniball UCAs and Dakar leafs out back) but worth it. If I didn't go off road though, I'd have gone with Billies.
