Best 3” lift for the price

I’ve been looking around for a good 3” lift kit without spending more than around $1600 what would anyone recommend

 

And?

 

Are you installing or having it installed?

I'd go bilstein 6100/ 5160 and that should be right around $1600.

 

Yeah I was planning on going with bilstein for shocks just didn’t know which ones would be best. Will I also need to get an add a leaf or block to lift the rear and will I need to get different uca’s

 

For 3” you will need UCA’s

 

I just got the TRD lift dealer installed. Will give you just over 2 in in the front and 1 in the rear. Also will be under 1 year/12,000 mile Toyota warranty. This is the way to go if your truck is new. Was $1250 out the door. Picture is with stock wheels and tires with 1.25" wheel spacers.

 

What are some good UCA’s for around like $400

My recommendation is Dobinsons. They aren't as well known as some of the big names, but they are super popular in Australia and are gaining popularity here.

Every website I look at for bilstein coilovers and shocks are all sold out is there anywhere else I can get them I don’t wait too long for them to get back in stock

 

I am not trying to spam you, but Dobinson's does have a full kit in stock for around 1300 if you order directly from them. That kit will also replace your entire leaf spring setup which will have a better ride than a bolt on AAL kit

 

Another vote for JBA. I have personally bought 4 pairs. Never any issues that wasnt my fault

 

Another vote for JBA and Dobinson's.

 

Does the dobinsons suspension lift ride nice on road as well as off road cause my Tacoma is my daily driver and is going to see a lot more pavement than offroading so I don’t want it to have a stiff bumpy ride

 

Yes, mine rides great. I have the heavier leafs, and it's little stiff if I'm not loaded, but one of the leafs is an overload leaf that you can remove until you're loaded up. I leave it in though, because I don't think it's bad at all. Just talk to @Crikeymike and make sure you size you leafs correctly and you'll be thrilled with it.

 

Toytec = I am no suspension or Tacoma expert by no means but I have been running 3" in the front since 2016 on my truck without aftermarket upper control arms and have had absolutely no issues. I wheel it a few times a year. I am on 35's with stock flares (slight trim on fronts), inner fenders liners still there, and a slight CMC. A ton of people on here say a lot things cant be done when in fact they can if you dial in all the components correctly and know the limits of your setup.

 

Did you re gear for your 35’s

 

Not yet but I will in the future.

 

Do you plan on wheeling offroad?
