    Does it come with replacement brakes? Normally the brake rotor / caliper dictate the size of wheel required (diameter). The only thing the knuckle would dictate would be the BS or width of the wheel.

    BDS 4in suspension lift 305/ 60 R/18 tires fuel Beast rims
    I have owned 10 tacomas I have tried different lifts and when u change the geometry on the shafts u put series stress on all parts. the suspension when on hard road surfaces
    can cause the tires to leave the ground very violently especially when hitting uneven surfaces in the road.
    I really do not care what lift anyone uses/just be aware u get what u pay for...

    GOOD Luck

    A truck with a true 3 inch mid travel will do things your drop bracket couldn't dream of. The drop bracket lift is for mall crawlers

    All you need are wheel spacers to fit the 17 inch wheel. It's just so that the rim clears the tie rod. The shop that installed mine said that back spacing is the most important

    My friend is running the bds lift with 17's. Max backspacing would be 4.75. They flip the tie rod when installing and it comes super close to the hoop of the rim.

    A truck with a true Offroad package will do things your Sport Package couldn't dream of. The Sport package is for mall crawlers.

    See, its easy to be condescending.

    Lol. You're right. My sport does just fine off-road. I'm not planning on doing anything stupid in my truck.

    Bingo. I have Icon Stage 1 and love it. A 1" body lift would run $133 for parts and an afternoon in the garage. With any of these kits, you'll still need a CMC, and may still rub to run 33's.

    Sex on wheels. The 4" lift looks fantastic!!! The desert sand is my favorite color for the Gen3. Unfortunately up here in Canada that color is only avail in the OR AC. No DC options of any kind. Sucks balls if you ask me.

    @niko5055 I was looking at doing a 4" BDS kit on my Gen II Taco. Can I get away with wheel spacers instead of changing the rims?

    I dunno about your case in specific, but they worked for me. I think back spacing plays a big role

    When in doubt call BDS/They seem to have all the answers/i am not a fan of spacer but they save a lot of $$/-4.5 on rim works perfect on the new kit /still check with them
