    I recently bought a 2011 tacoma double cab TRD off road. I'd like to lift it around 3" and I'm needing some recommendations. From what I've heard so far Frankensteining my own lift is the best route. That being said, I need some ideas on what has worked well with others. I do off road on occasion but I'm really just trying to get the aesthetics the way I like it. I'm not looking for a low end lift kit either though.
    Thanks in advance!

    IMO, best ride and performance would be front coilovers and rear full leaf pack. Likely need UCA's at 3". Welcome to TW.

    I'd do the install myself. I'd like to keep it under 1500.
    My off roading typically only consist of getting to my hunting area down logging roads. I'm not an aggressive driver as long as no one pisses me off. So for the most part I'm easy on my vehicles. I do plan on hauling a trailer but I typically keep the trailer weight under 4000 pounds. My wife surprisingly gave me the approval, she doesnt like that her 4 runner is taller than my truck. And I'm 4wd

    I only do light offroading to get to campsites.
    currently running Old Man Emu nitro chargers all around, with 886 coils up front, and a full HD leafpack in the rear. I've had it for 2 years and love it. leaf packs in the back are great. no sagging even when im fully loaded with my rack, RTT, gear and dog.

    ^^^^^^^ This
    This will get you around $1500 or less if you do it yourself. A full leaf pack might be necessary instead of an AAL if you have the original springs from your 2011. Buy once, cry once.
