Recommended Lift Kit

I have a 2021 Tacoma Limited that I would like to lift 2 inches. Can some one recommend a good kit to use.

I'd like to spend around 1,000 on it.

Been looking and not sure which one I would like to go with. Been looking primarily at the Bilstein 6112 kit from Shock Surplus, https://www.shocksurplus.com/produc...00-shocks-set-for-2016-2020-toyota-tacoma-4wd

 

Note that the linked kit does not lift the rear. I also do not see any information about the coil spring rate and length. I would want that information before buying it.

 

Thanks, I'll question them before buying...

 

Nice kit. Add a Deaver AAL in the rear, and your good to go.

 

The 6112 kit has 600pd coils, I'm looking at the same kit and Wheelers offroad has it assembled for like $40 less. I ran these on my 16' Tundra and they were great on that so hoping they're as good for a Taco.

 

i run the 6112's and 5125's in the rear (5125's travel for 2-3.5in lifts). love the bilstein setup

 

Go Dobinson.
Under 1000 with an add a leaf…even cheaper with rear block.

Recommended site to purchase the Deaver AAL?

 

Headstrong Offroad. I’ve had a good experience with them. So have many others on TW.

Two Cents: I prefer the simplicity of the Deaver single AAL versus the three leaf, “progressive,” options. The Deaver installs without modification to the OE leaf pack and retains the OE overload leaf. You’ll get 1.5” lift. I’ve found the ride to be fine and the Deavers have held up well to over a year of solid wheeling, hauling and towing.

I was also going to recommend headstrong off-road. You send them a message or email with the goals you want with your suspension and they will point you in the right direction. Very knowledgeable and reasonable prices. They also have kits you can build to get exactly what you want. I got full 5100’s with ome coils already assembled and the icon progressive aal for around 800. This was also 3 years ago before prices went crazy on everything

 

Lifting for looks or off roading? Give Accutune a chance to help you too.

 

Basically, looks and for the winter to support the plow I just had installed. With the plow on and up oversized tires, 285/60 R18, are rubbing a little. So, I figured I would lift the truck 2 inches in the front and whatever I can do in the back. Don't do any off-roading.

Just getting the pieces together now for an install in the spring. Right now, it's too damn cold out there to work on the truck, even in the garage. This morning it was 20 degrees.

 

I would contact the folks at Headstrong Offroad and tell them what you think you need - they will point you in the right direction. Don't be like me and buy a bunch of unnecessary stuff, just to return it and buy something different.

 

just sent them a PM on what I'm looking for..

Thanks all for the direction.

 

Even with the lift I would look into a set of Super Springs coil helpers. Easy to install when you need extra support for your plow and you can remove when you’re not using the plow so it rides better. Can install and remove them in just a few minutes. I use their sumo springs in the rear when I’m towing and they make a huge difference.

 

Big fan of Sumos for additional support.

 

I’ll look into them. Thanks !!!!

 

Well I purchased the Deaver AAL from Headstrong Off Road yesterday. So that will be on it's way to me.

Have another question, for the front struts should I go with 600, 650 or 700 pound rated springs?

 

Not fully sure of your intentions with the truck, but I went with 650# to handle the loads I expected and have experienced no loss of ride quality. They’ve held up great. Others can speak to 700#.

If you’re installing yourself, here are the best vids I found to help:

Thanks @gillies66 ..

99.999% of the time the truck will be a daily driver. Want to lift it to stop the rubbing on my tires when I have my plow hooked up to it. So when that is on I have around 300/375 extra pounds up front.

I still need to measure the front with and without the plow on it.

Just want to make sure I get the right springs.
