    C32C8742-E5FE-40A7-A1EA-E04B00D14C27.jpg Sitting in my driveway is a brand new tacoma TRD Off Road access cab with about 12 miles on it. Right next to it is my old about to be sold 2014 TRD. I've never customized a vehicle besides all of my bicycles. I just want to go up a modest 2" and space the tires out a bit and perhaps a little bit bigger tires.
    Any recommendations for a lift kit from $1500 - $2500?

    How much work are you willing to do? How much money are you willing to spend? Who do you trust to work on your truck? The answer to these questions will drive your decision and the recommendation. For me, I went middle-ground cost-wise, and I have an excellent relationship with the dealer techs so I went with the OEM TRD Lift Kit (see attached) installed at the dealership. It's basically a Bilstein 5120 and a block in the rear. There are other options in that price range, if you're willing to wrench it yourself or have a trustworthy shop.

    Check the suspension section and the wheels/tires section. Tons of useful info there.

    Welcome :hattip:and congratulations on the new truck:cheers:

    My suggestion would be either Bilstein 5100's or Eibach Pro Truck. These will give an adjustable front lift for the rear and then use a 1" block for the rear. If you want more than that, I suggest a leaf pack but that gets expensive.
    My opinion AAL are not worth it. :crapstorm: (sorry, that comment might make this thread explode!)

    Where are the pictures, before 2014, and after 2022. Side by side would a nice picture.

    I wonder if the OP has 2014 TX pro, or Baja with around 30 to 50,000 miles on it?
