Need help on suspension question

Hey guys so I have a 2016 with ARE shell and front runner roof rack and have the wonderful stock squeaky leaf springs with 70k on them now and wanted to know a solid Kit that would lift me up and compensate for the extra LBS from my shell and rack.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I am looking for a great ride 2-3" lift and under 4k

thanks in advance!

 

You definitely don't need to spend $4k to compensate for shell and rack weight. What kind of driving do you do, where are you located? Are you doing the install yourself? Depending on your needs you could do anything from a cheap 5100 lift with an AAL, all the way up to remote resis with adjusters for that kind of budget. How much weight do you run other than the rack and shell?

 

I have running boards and i keep tools and fishing gear in my bed - off road sometimes but not offten. Im located in richmond va and would love to have someone else do it but not 100% against doing it with my brother. Ive noticed the rack and cap added alot of weight and im running lower then i used to with out it

 

IMO: Fox 2.0, Icon Stage 2, Elka

$977 2.0 IFP Fox 2.0 Performance Coil-Over Front Pair compatible with 2005-2016 Toyota Tacoma

2.0 IFP are all good options for you. Throw in an Icon AAL. Maybe add hammer hangers if you want to spend a bit more for a better riding rear. Not sure what shops are in your area but all of those should be in your budget and ride nicely on the street (with occasional offroading).

Between the three they should ride similarly, it's basically pick your favorite color or which one you can get for the best price.
