Extra lift

Hey guys first post here. I've got a 2013 Tacoma 4x4 Trd off-road with a 2 1/2 leveling kit. I want to get 2 more inches all around but don't want to buy a full blown 4 inch lift. I want to keep my leveling kit because I like the way it sits, any suggestions?

 

If you like the way the leveling kit sits why do you want to go up to 4"?

Guess I didn't word that like I should have, I like the way it sits as in the stance it has and just want to go up 2 inches with what I already have

 

body lift(would not recommend), drop bracket 4 in lift (BDS maybe?, would not recommend), or a proper 3 in lift (would recommend )

 

Would the bilstein 5100's work?

 

In addition to your spacers? Ehhhh it might be physically possible but I would not even consider that. A 4in suspension and or spacer lift just doesn't work on these trucks unless you get the BDS 4in drop bracket one.

The bilsteins with the right coils /set up would work well, if you replace your leveling kit with them.

 

How are you going to be using your truck? Is it all of looks?

3" is my vote.

Get rid of your spacer and run a 5100 plus OME Coil.

Get in contact with @HeadStrong Off-Road

If you are looking to do King Coilovers and Upper arm, I can take care of you!

 

It's just looks, only off roading I do is driving to the deer stand

 

What's your budget

 

Id like to stay under or around 500

 

That'll be hard to do. At 3" of lift, you'll need UCA's PLUS the new shocks and coils. If you are hard set with that budget, it won't be worth it to move to the 3" lift or 4"

 

So basically I'm gonna give up my spacers I have now to go into a 4 inch lift?

 

Yes if you go BDS but it will be almost 4x your budget.

 

And I am not sure if that kit has UCAs or not..

 

Not sure you need em with it because it has new spindles etc

 

Based on your budget I'd stick with what you already have in place. Especially if you don't plan to use it for Off-road anyhow.

As other have said an Upper Control Arm upgrade is highly recommended even at 3" lift. If you want higher you'll definitely have to upgrade UCA's (those are $400+ by themselves). Plus you'll need taller shocks, springs, etc.

Going for a 3"-4" suspension lift isn't cheap.

 

If you do a drop bracket lift (4" and above) you don't need ucas. The suspension geometry stays the same.
