    There are lots of discussions about 3" lifts. You can google "Toyota Tacoma 3" lift" and a few pop up but this forum is filled with lots of information

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3-lift-kit-opinions.153133/

    This is what is said on Bilstein lift site in regards to the 2015.
    "There is a fitment issue with the rear shocks for a 2015 Toyota Tacoma. ARB is currently working to get that fixed. Feel free to try to fit it yourself, but we were told there may be some issues there."

    One company that might be able to help is Down South Motorsports. They know a lot about these trucks and might be able to help you out.

    ^ I totally agree. I think they should release some people though since we are just sucking up their profits with replacements.

    Thanks for sharing your horror stories here. I was interested in these LED headlights up until I read this thread. Good luck to all those struggling with these lights....hope the manufacturer makes it right by you.

    Thanks and I may give them a call... I know about lifts but cant find anything on the xps-x and lifts and since it is only a Southeast Toyota thing seems like not a lot of others do either.

    Just got some LED headligts to try out for myself. They are way better than the high end halogens I had before. For about $30 more. But if they last even two years then I'll consider them with it.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VNBEJ1G/ref=ya_aw_oh_pii

    I just installed them a few hours ago and love them so far. High beam indicator doesn't work now but I'm not surprised. This truck hates LEDs even though I love them. Not a big deal to me though. It's obvious when the high beams are on.

    I could look up the dozens of posts of people getting replacement sets that lasted 2 weeks, or new sets that lasted 2 months, or the handful who've had a set for over a year and a half without issue, but we know they exist in quantity regardless of the minority who aren't having so many constant issues.

    I think VLED has had better luck if I am not mistaken.

    These sound like cheap made in China crap at this point. My made in China set of Torchstar LED's have endured through A LOT of abuse.
