    New on here and new to the truck world as well, so go easy.

    I have a 2000 Tacoma 4x4 regular cab. Right now I have 33x12.50r15's on it, and the guy before me put a lift on it, but I'm not sure how big the lift is, but it's definitely too much. He didn't upgrade anything in the front so my ball joints, cv's and tie rods are at terrible angles. My question here is, how big of a lift does my truck seem to have now and what would I have to change to have a normal 3 inch suspension lift? Also would my tires now clear a 3 inch lift?

    Where can I get a bumper like this cheap? I wish I could tell you about the lift, I honestly have no idea.

    Dude, I don't see how your front end hasn't blown apart. You have like 4"+ it looks like cause you have adjustable coilovers as well as a strut spacer. The rear is fine but that front lift needs to be a drop bracket lift not a combo of spacers. That's bad..

    Have you measured the blocks in the rear? It's easy to fix just need to take your front struts off and remove them silver blocks and probably get smaller blocks for the rear or get an add-a-leaf. Max lift that can be in the front end is 3" without doing a drop bracket lift. And you want the rear to set level with the front, unless you like the "papaw lean" don't know how mechanic savvy you are? Or what you're willing to tackle on your own.

    I can do the work myself, I'm looking into just doing a 3 inch lift all around. I have no idea how the front end is still going, like you said. It's rough. I'm going to get 3 inch spacers in the front and leave it at that. And would I need to replace the front coilovers or no?
