2WD Lift Spindles on a 3rd Gen

I have done some research on lifting my 2016 2WD to achieve the look I want, though I would like to get some advice on resourcing some more information. I basically want my truck to be a bad ass prerunner I could race through the terrain like an RC truck, and look cool to boot. Could I get some feed back from the community please?

 

Long travel if that's how you want to treat the truck.
Other than that, with a spindle lift you will be a pro fire road driver.

 

What is a pro fire road driver? Like a pavement poser or something? I read that with lift spindles I can maintain the geometry on my truck without adding aftermarket UCA's when I go above 3". I believe 4" of lift is about the height I want, so I figured lift spindleswould be the way to go. Plus I like that baja look as well.

 

You will get the look, but the performance of it has its limitations. You won't be running like a trophy truck, that's for sure.
The geometry stays the same with the spindles because the wheels get pushed down instead of lifting the truck with the spring.
I have this set up on my 17 sr5 v6 dclb

 

Ok. I read that most trophy trucks are 2WD, and that is primarily what I was trying to achieve with my truck. I hoped I could gain the look and the performance. I started with this truck as a 2wd base model because it was what I could afford, but I want to make it look and perform bad ass as I go along. Why do you say that it wont perform like a trophy truck?

 

Trophy trucks are long travel and more.
What you are asking for is just a lift and moderate suspension upgrade.
To get that performance from your truck, you will need another 60k to 75k to get there.
Depending on what you pair the spindles with in front and back.... you will be able to conquer moderate forest service roads/fire roads as long as it's not snowing, raining or to muddy after the rain. You will get stuck, don't go out wheeling alone. You should always have a really good friend with 4wd if you plan to push the limits of the truck.

 

Jacado is right, the best you can hope for is service roads.

Trophy trucks is all about articulation and huge power. Hoping sand dunes requires long travel, huge shocks and air bump stops.

The trophy look you see on tacomas is usually guys with long travel that need the fenders.

 

Spindles aint gonna do you any good for what you hope to do.

Id start here and let it consume your soul...and bank account.
