    Looking for info for my 2013 DCSB Taco. I have famous TACO LEAN, my measurements are below.

    LF 21 1/4 RF 22

    LR 22 1/2 RR 23 1/4

    I was looking into a 3" front 2" rear lift with diff drop and adding a lean spacer to top of LF strut assembly.

    Any advice on this?
    Affects on CV joints, ball joints or any other components?
    Best cost effect solutions?
    What would you stay away from?
    What would you use?
    Do I need wheel spacers?

    Welcome to the forum.

    These are my opinions. To be blunt, you won't know what you get into until you do any suspension mods.
    • Everything begins with: What will you be using your truck for? That will help others give you advice on what solutions are available.
    • In general, Bilstein 5100's are cost effective.
    • You may get vibration and need to also replace your needle bearing. I added a front spacer, had the vibe, so I removed them. Now I have a "click" sound when my front end dips, so be prepared to spend money if you commit.
    • You will need an alignment after you lift as well.
    • Stay away from wheel spacers if you can (just my opinion).
    • You may need to trim, depending on what wheels and tires you plan on getting.
