    Hello all, I recently just purchased my first Tacoma (19 TRD Sport DC) and can’t stand the way it looks stock—I really want a beefier look. I’ve been browsing through the forums regarding suspension mods and tire selection but I am still unsure on what would best suit what I’m looking for
    I do a significant amount of highway driving (400-500 mi per week) but am interested in taking the truck on trails over weekends and holidays. Is there a noticeable difference between (front leveling spacers / bilsteen 5100s and coil springs in front / lift all the way around ~3in or so)?


    Thanks in advance!

    Yes there is, you get what you pay for. Id go with some 5100s on the bottom clip and find springs to provide however much lift you are after.

    Welcome aboard! :cheers:

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    OME is a solid lift all around. Pair it with aftermarket UCAs (avoid SPC/LR) and your truck will ride good on and off road. 33" or larger tires on a 3rd gen will warrant plastic trimming and a CMC. If you plan on new rims with the tires, keep the back spacing between 4.5" and 3.75". With your suspension, you can upgrade to Icon or king shocks as well. Protect your investment with aftermarket bump stops front and rear like Wheelers Super bumps. Another great investment is stainless braided brake lines for front and rear. If you need any help, PM me for anything.
