    Hey Everyone!

    I just recently picked up a 2017 Tacoma and am looking for suggestions. I would like to put a lift kit on but am not sure what to look for. I don't want anything too wild I'd say 4-6 inch max. What would you recommend?

    Also, with the lift should I or would I need to run bigger tiers?

    I appreciate all the help and suggestions you are willing to offer.

    Thank you!

    Do you need to know, or care?
    Welcome! 4" to 6" is pretty radical for a lift. 2" is more the norm. Are you planning on some rock crawling?

    I would like to but if I do it wouldn't be very often. Mainly looking for a "better" look.

    Stay under 3" and for "looks" you can go with bilsteins or basic OME kit

    I went Bilstein 6112/5160 with wheelers AAL. I set the fronts at 5/6 and kept the stock tires/ wheels. Looks and rides great!

    Just as advertised. It lifted the front two inches, the rear 1.5 inches and got rid of the "Taco Lean."

    4-6" lift is pretty wild....... especially if you keep stock tires.
