    Picked up a 2017 TRD Off Road

    Ordered the RoughCountry 3" lift and after reading on here realized it was not the way to go. Doing some reading and seeing what other members are doing now.

    A few OE parts from fancy trucks
    The first question is always why do you need any lift, much less 3". How you use the truck will play into the right recommendations for parts.

    The 2nd question is what is the number for Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road? Call her with your goals and order up.
