    Finally looking to lift my Tacoma. What are some pros and cons of a leveling kit compared to a suspension lift. Thinking of doing a 2" raise. Also show me some pictures of your tacos lifted.

    Thanks fellas and ladies!

    1. Spacers give you ground clearance and allow for bigger tires. They’re cheap but don’t perform as well as suspension lifts.
    2. Suspension lifts give you ground clearance, allow for bigger tires and better traction in technical situations via better articulation. They’re more expensive than spacer lifts.
    3. There are no women on the internet.

    IMO 2” is the perfect lift height without screwing with the stock geometry too much and not affecting gas mileage that much. I’ll do it eventually when I get the extra cash.

    If you are into extreme off-roading then of course the 2” lift is not gonna cut it.

    My Barcelona Red OR with 3” spacer next to my work buddy’s stock height Pro. I’m liking this height and going to research 3” suspension lifts.
