    Hey guys, I've recently stumbled across this site and I've started to do some research on lifts.

    I definitely still consider myself a noob at this, but I've learned a little bit so far. After seeing several photos of Tacos with 3" lifts I've fallen in love with how they look.

    I've been looking around on various sites and this seems like a decent kit https://bilsteinlifts.com/shop/toyota-tacoma/2005-2015/bilstein-adjustable-lift-kit-with-5100-shocks/
    From what I've seen everyone seems to agree that Bilstein 5100's are a good all around affordable option.



    I just have a few questions.

    Would a kit like the one I linked include everything that I need to achieve a 3" lift?
    What would be my best bet for rear lift options?
    Would my stock wheels be fine with the 3" lift? I eventually plan to get new wheels, but not at the same time as the lift.
    And lastly, are lifts difficult to install? (should I just bite the bullet and pay to have someone install them for me?)

    This may help with the questions: I have a 2wd double cab, I mostly want the lift for the looks, but I do plan to do some very light offroading.
