    I have a 2019 tacoma offroad and I am in the market for a good lift. I am looking at a 3in fox coilover with 2.0s. I was hoping someone could help me out because I do not know if I need more parts with a 3in lift. Obviously i need the coils and shocks but can everything else stay stock and still function properly for a while, while I for things like control arms? (Edit: I want to lift front and rear)
    Thanks for reading and any help!

    2.5 would be better with 650 coils. After market UCA’s, brake line extension. Rear leaf pack, bump stops with shackle flip kit. If you do it right

    If I'm understanding you correctly, you mean a 3inch lift from Fox 2.0s? You could replace your stock shocks and coils with the Fox's and keep them at stock height until you figure out the rear. Then lift the front of the already installed Fox shock/coil when you do the rear. Not sure why you would want to lift the front for 3 inches and do nothing in the rear. Would look and preform stupid AF. It would put your front end much higher than the bed.

    Install front lift coils and rear leafs/shocks at the same time. You don't want to drive around with the front end lifted and the rear end stock.

    I do want to lift both the front and rear at the same time. I just don't know if a 3 inch lift would require any extra modifications to be made.

    You will need after market UCAs if you go above 2.5”

    If you want 3 inches you'll want to get UCAs (alignment), ECGS bushing (recomended for over 2"), maybe a diff drop, and maybe carrier drop. Maybe for these because you won't know until it's on your truck and if you have issues that the "maybes" would fix. You'll need to check droop and travel for extended brake lines. 3"inch lift and above with long travel shocks/struts normally require them.

    We specialize in Tacoma mid travel suspension systems. Although an extended length Fox coilover is rated to lift your truck up to 3", we usually suggest to keep it around 2.5" in front. 3" lift in front wont provide the ideal amount of up/down travel. Anything above 2" (like mentioned above) will require aftermarket control arms. We have some great packages available on our website. We have done a lot of work on these trucks, which has allowed us to fine tune the valving. Stages 2-5 will come custom valved specifically for your trucks weight/driving preference. This is a free service we provide when you purchase with us. Our kits are also 100% complete and do not require any additional modifications to work right. However, depending on tire size desired a cab mount chop may be needed.
    Take a look at our kits here: https://accutuneoffroad.com/product...-tacoma-2020-2005/mid-travel-suspension-kits/
    If you have any specific questions, shoot us a message, happy help.

    Just make sure you do lots of research before you buy anything. Take your time. There is alot more to lifting these trucks than just installing a set of coilovers. Good luck and welcome to TW.

    PS: Here is my old setup with FOX 2.0s set at 3". It worked great.
