    2011 Double Cab Tacoma
    Well boys and girls my dream was fulfilled Saturday. (thanks to the guys who t-boned my silverado and making this possible):amen:

    I have a 2011 double cab all stock

    First up on the to do list is to paint the front bumper with minor repairs and paint all the fender flares, due to a failure in the clearcoat where it's coming off on all of them. Luckily I'm in the business so I have all the tools to get her where I want it!:fingerscrossed:

    Next up is a 3" lift. Haven't decided on the rough country 3" suspension lift or bilstein 5100. Price is the big issue here. I would love to hear some suggestions and knowledge if you have some! Anyways here is where the journey begins:cheers:
    Once I figure out how to post pics from noble I will post some!

    Sorry to hear about the wreck. Sounds like you're OK. Welcome to TW. Personally my vote would be the Bilsteins for a budget build.

    Welcome..... Have fun with your mods, as far as lifts go I have a RC 4 inch suspension lift on my 14 DCLB . I’m sure it’s not the best lift for trail riding but it does good for corn and bean fields. My truck rides great and IMO has a nice looking stance to it. Cost for lift was about $1200 plus $650 for install.

    Why not rough country? Hit me with some facts rather than just telling me not to get it! Thanks.

    Is your desire to lift aimed at aesthetics, OR or both? If both, which one is more important?

    Mainly for looks but I hunt ALOT so I'm going to be on dirt and rocks alot. I'm not trying to break the bank, as I did that already buying the truck. Front end is just to low for me. 2" spacers are up in the air also. Just don't know if it's going to look better with a 3" and I don't want to be running into any problems down the road from the lift.

    Calm down bud. In my opinion rough country caters more the the domestic market and larger trucks. They also offer a lift that takes the tacoma just a little higher than that 2.5 to 3 inch sweet spot that you can get away with. Many brands cater to the tacoma and are much higher quality for the same money. In the same range would be Bilstein, OME, Toytec just to name a few. If your mind is made up then best of luck. Enjoy the new ride.
