What suspension should I get with $1500 Budget?

I'm looking to upgrade my suspension and lift my 2017 Tacoma about 2" and was wondering what a good set up is for around $1500 or under. The truck is my daily driver and I do some light-moderate off-roading with a RTT on my bed.

 

Old man emu or Dobinsons are quality kits that even the australians use to carry heavy loads through the outback

A full bilstein 5100 kit with ome coils will get you under your budget and get you the results you want.

Bilsten 5100 struts
Ome 887 or 888 coils
AAL pack for the rear
SPC upper control arms (not fully needed for 2” lift)

 

Not that I have any room to talk since I’ve not lifted my truck yet but I’m looking at the 6112/5160 setup from Headstrong with the 3 leaf AAL. There are 6 notches to have them set at depending what you want. HS is working on a redesign to the AAL set so its direct bolt on without having to cut the stock leaf (brace?). There is a lift chart at the bottom of that page to show the different notches.

On my 2nd OME setup with no complaints. Ran the first one for 7 years before trading the truck on my new one.

 

Keep in mind you may want to consider new rear springs or an add a-leaf. What does your rack, RTT and all additional gear weigh? It adds up fast.

 

Been researching for a some time about lifts for around that price and I think I will be going with Dobinsons once its time that I need to do a lift. I have heard their rear leaf spring packs are quiet (unlike the OME Dakars) and they have some good choices if you are adding some extra weight.
