    got a 2003 Tacoma SR5. I put the Bilsteins shocks on front and it gave it the 2.5" lift. Put the bigger tires on it. It turn out great for me. Now son wants to go higher. Suggestions on a suspension lift? What do i need? Pics of A truck would be nice too. Thanks

    Cannot really go beyond 2.5-3" with any suspension lift set-up for these trucks. If you want more height a body lift (ugly n creates body roll) or drop bracket lift (thousands $$$ and sucks offroad) would be you next option. How much higher you wanting to go?

    A 3" lift is perfect unless you want to drop 3k - 4K on a 6" drop bracket lift w/ labor incl. or just go SAS!!! Maybe long travel. The world is yours!

    3" is as high as you want to go without spending big money.

    Like said. Body lifts and db lifts are ugly and not as functional as the 3" most of the time.

    Plus once you go higher youl want bigger tires and then youl need to get into regearing.


    I for one think thats a nice looking truck!
