    Trying to pimp it out-
    Hey everyone. I just bought a 2015 TRD sport 4x4 tacoma a couple months ago... I got a nice campershell installed and I think the truck needs a little lift and some bigger tires to make it look more badass... What is everyones favorite lift kits and how big does everyone think I should go.. I was thinking a 2 or 3 inch lift.. I have heard Icon is good...

    explain your price range and intended use. You can get decent lift from 5100's and new coils and leaf pack. Or you can spend 2, 3 or 4 times as much for a better ride/performance.

    A lot of people like the OME kits for a good middle of the road package.

    I want to be able to off-road a good amount. Go up to Tahoe and play in the snow and also hit up some muddy logging roads in. Nor cal. I have a 6 year warranty on the truck and I don't want to void that warranty. I wand to spend a good amount and good a really good lift kit.

    Playing in the snow, muddy logging roads, and spending a good amount of money doesn't really provide much at all. You fine spending 1k or 5k? When offroading do you take aggressive/technical trails going slower or do you like to fly down roads going 40 + mph. How long are your offroad trips, few hours or all day trips.

    Specifics really help. This and doing your own research since you'll find most have a very different opinion on what a good kit is. It takes some work and time, but just expecting to get an answer from a few random members on what you need just isn't realistic at all.

    I got a dealer discount on the Stage 4 Icon setup. Retail price is anywhere from $2900 and up depending on where you want to buy them from and how long you want to wait. If your looking for a shop install price, look up SDHQ (Super Duty Head Quarters) They are a local AZ dealer that does awesome work.
