    Hi guys, I’m looking to lift my 2011 Crew Cab 4WD Tacoma and I’m trying to do some research before jumping into to anything. I’m looking for 3” of lift and I want to run it on 33s. My budget is around $1500. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but I’m looking for a fairly smooth ride and good quality. Thanks.

    Ride is great, I have 650# springs, was at a full 3" lift, but with all of the skids, sidebars, ect, I am sitting at 2 3/4" now. I wheel my truck in places like CO, Moab, and many other places. Here is a pic from moab with the stock wheels and duratrac tires. I am also running 3" expiditon springs.

    FOX 2.0s set at 3" but dropped to 2 3/4" with all of the steel. SPC Light Racing UCA, All Pro swaybar links, you can build your own alot cheaper. 650 lbs springs, rear I have expedition 3" springs with FOX resi shocks.

    Only did coilovers, and arms for about a grand. Links, and rear came later. Also got a smoking deal on the Coilovers. I was probably was one of the 1st to have them. Mine are a little different. I have two adjusters on mine. Top one is the adjuster, bottom one is the lock. You cant get them this way anymore.

    Pelfreybilt, truck is fully skidded, ARB air locker, and just picked up a rear bumper from the Pelfreybilt auction Friday night. This was at 1:30 am when I just got back home and dropped it off. Started preparing for paint this weekend and will post more when done.
