New owner of a 2003 Tacoma

Yep the frame actually looks immaculate. He used to use the bumper for towing a light trailer, in doing so he fucked it all up and it rusted. He attached a class three hitch on it though and that's all wired up and basically new

 

I'm glad your frame is good. Just recently we had someone purchased a 1st gen here and the frame rail was almost split in two due to rust. Now on to the lift! If you buy the assembled coils/shocks, installation is super easy.

How about this?

 

Spacer lifts are usually frowned upon here. Do some digging in this forum in regards to spacer lifts and you'll see that some like it and some don't. I think if you're mainly on road most of the time, you'd be fine with that.

 

Welcome...

 

Welcome. I just acquired the same vehicle as you, though with little to no rust. I'd say go for a suspension upgrade because it's over a decade old. $500 won't get you too far, so save a few extra bones and you can still get a decent setup for under $1,000.

 

What would you recommend?
