    Hey, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm an owner of an 03' Tacoma, 2WD, 2.4L engine. I joined this forum to learn more about what modifications would make sense for my truck. I want to lift it a little, but I don't want to go too big and have it just be stupid of not run well with my small engine. I got the truck from my grandpa with about 85k miles on it, has around 90k on it now. Been loving this truck more than any other vehicle, but I really want to make it my own. If you guys have any suggestions for certain lifts or mods I should work towards, I'd really appreciate that. (Also a side note, this side light popped out for the first time today, and I clipped it back in but it seems to keep coming out, any suggests to quick fix that would be awesome.)

    Thanks! Look forward to learning more here on this forum.

    Welcome. I have a slight lift as I am supercharged and like the speed. So what I did was old man emu 880 coils on 5100s Billsteins with a 1” block in the back. So it’s pretty much about 1.5 inches. I like it to handle well so I added the SPC upper control arms. Basically, you can’t tell it’s lifted. The tires are 245 75 16, which is the same as stock just a little narrower. I highly recommend all the Energy brand bushings.
