Looking for a lift kit

I have. Taco 2021 OR Long Bed. I need help to decide what kind of lift kit should I use. Im leaning to NV Method 305 17 inch wheels and Wildpeaks AT3W 285/70/17 tires, I will be carrying at least 500 pounds of gear, I have a bed/roof rack, decked drawer system already and adding 160 pounds Ikamper 2.0. Please if anybody can guide me or advice me a better lift kit I dont want my Truck to sag. Do I have to change my rear leaf springs. Here is my truck on the photo, thanks everybody.

 

For your set up I think everyone would recommend replacing the leaf springs. Replacing the leaf springs vs installing AALs will increase your carrying capacity, prevent sagging and lift the rear 2"-3". I would probably go with the OME lift kit with the HD leaf springs. For the fronts pick the coils based on how much lift you want/if you plan on adding any weight. I would also get JBA or SPC UCAs.

There are a lot of other choices though and it's definitely hard to decide. There is a ton of information on here, try using the search bar and check out https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/suspension.18/
Also check out https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/ and reach out to them with any questions, they are very helpful and have great prices.

Welcome to TW!

 

for heavy loads people will usually replace the whole leaf pack. Some do airbags but I think air is desired for towing if im not wrong

 

Only thing missing from your post is budget. Suspension is going to run you $1400-4000 depending on what you can afford.

Based on what you posted I’d recommend the OME Heavy leaf pack with 886 coils on 90000’s struts. That’s about $1400 from Wheelers or Headstrong.

I didn’t swap out wheels or tires on mine, so I did not need to upgrade the UCA’s, sounds like w/ your combo you would have to so that’s prob another $500-600.

Obviously, sky is the limit, so self install with what you are asking for looking around $2k, but that can turn to $4k+

I don’t think airbags are necessary based on your setup, I have SummoSprings and recommend them or Timbrens. Basically a bump stop replacement that doesn’t require repair or maintenance of airbags.
