    I have about $1700 for a Lift.

    I wanted the Bilstien 6112/5160 set up but it’s back ordered from 4wheelparts..til June/July

    Fox is my next choice, I am not desert running and gunning, I plan on driving trails but not fast, slower off road stuff so I am not really needing resi shock or coilover.

    Two options I’m looking at.

    Fox 2.0 coilover from and 2.0 performance in the back, money in budget for rear 2.0 resi for cool factor.

    Or

    Fox 2.5 front coil over and 2.0 in the rear.

    I have a pro Comp 3” on my 13 Tacoma but taking that shit off. Keeping pro Comp pro runner UCA..

    Any suggestions or other lift options I’m open

    Thanks

    Fox 2.0 Performance Series can be had for about $1200

    http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/fox-2-performance-series-coil-over-ifp-shocks

    Dakar Medium Duty Leaf Pack about $550

    https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p462/Old_Man_Emu_Dakar_Leaf_Package_with_Bushings/ubolts/cb_drop_-_DakarPKG.html

    This is the set up that I went with. Fox 2.0 for the front. Fox 2.0 with resi's for the rear. Dakar Medium Duty Leaf Pack. The total was right around what you are looking to spend. I haven't had time to install yet. Hoping to get it done in the next couple of weeks. Good luck in your decision. I know that it is not an easy one.

    If you want an actual 3" lift, look elsewhere. Fox won't get you there without too much pre-load, coil bind and/or loss of droop (extension).

    Have you installed the Fox 2.0s and Dakars yet? Curious to hear how they compare to the stock OR supsension in terms of on/offroad feel and perforance.

    I have not installed as of yet. I plan on doing that when I am off during the Memorial Day week. From what I have read; the fronts will give ~1" of lift for 3rd Gens.
