Need lift kit suggestions (2011 Tacoma regular cab)

Hello everyone,

I’ve been following this site off and on for a few years. I’m a big fan of Tacoma and 4Runner’s and I just recently purchased a 2011 Tacoma regular cab 4x4

I use my taco as a daily commuter to work and weekend getaways. Commute is 7 miles one way. Weekend adventures have been easy off-road trails and did one snow trip thus far.

I’d like to put bigger tires and 3” lift seems about right.
Any suggestions on tires, lift equipment?

budget? I’m thinking up to $1,000 but I’m willing to pay a little extra for quality parts and comfortable ride.

Thanks everyone!

 

If you go to 33 tires need to do a.cmc flatted the pinch weld and cut plastic. Lift doesn't help putting bigger tires

 

I'm super happy with Fox's 2.5" shocks in the front and 2.0 w/ remote res in the back. Total cost was around $2k, but I believe in the Fox quality. Plus they can be sent for a rebuild which makes them a lifetime investment for the truck. I didn't do any lift though. No need for a lift unless you are rock crawling.

 

I like to sit a little high while driving. I also like the look. So it is preference.

I’m looking at Bilstein 3” with Toyo open country A/T III to fit.

 

Go with a dobinsons 3 inch lift from @Crikeymike

 

Website? I’ll look into it.

 

Look up exit offroad. Mike is great to deal with and I love my dobinsons front set up

 

OME - Old Man Emu with Dakar rear leaf springs.

I’ve received good customer service from Headstrong Off Road.

I will! Thanks!

 

I have looked into these, read a lot of mixed reviews about Old Man Emu.

 

I have a 2011 DCSB with the OME/Dakar lift kit. I’m happy with the products and the way the truck rides and looks. It’s not an apples to apples comparison with your regular cab, so you should contact a few different companies to get professional assistance, IMO.

I have a 2013 regular cab truck also, but it’s not lifted.
