    Hi All,

    I have a 2016 Tacoma Offroad and currently have a 3" spacer lift (Absolutely hate it, the previous owner did it and I would never do again).

    I a looking to keep the same height I currently have, but with a suspension lift that could also handle the 21 foot Malibu ski boat I tow. Looking for a suggestion here on the best all-around option for height/towing/off-road capability.

    Too few to list.
    If you're towing all the time, I'd go complete leaf pack and even the HD one depending on use and weight. Either that or air bags. As for the front, many choices out there. All depends on your budget.

    I will max tow probably twice a month, and no more than 2 hours each way. My budget is not like $3k for King or something, but I want a better ride than the current block setup. What leaf pack do you suggest?

    Honestly I think getting 3" is tough without spacers. Alot of suspension lifts settle under 2.5" of lift unless you get a coilover and raise the preload.

    Possibly some sumo springs added to them for when you tow though I don't recommend the spacers with the sumo springs as they will sit on your frame giving you a harsh ride on the rear.
