    I want a 2" front and a 1" rear lift. This is for my 2022 DCLB TRD Sport 4wd. I use this truck as my daily driver. My wife and I like riding the trails in the Sierras near where we live. We might go on six trail rides a year.

    My shop has proposed this setup listed below primarily because it fits my budget and they don't suggest adding a block to the back or spacers. I have researched Icon shocks and could only really find a video on you tube where the front shock in the coil over failed and Icon was kinda not the best customer service company in that instance.

    This is my first Tacoma and I have never modified a truck before. I understand this will probably goof up my warranty? Any input of useful nature is appreciated.

    I had icons on my 2nd gen. It was a great setup. Never had any issues for 80k miles. I had the icon tubular ucas too.

    Icon is a good name. You wont be disappointed at all. I would look into UCA's (upper control arms) as well if you plan on getting bigger tires so you can clear them with proper alignment.

    That's a good setup. I'm running about the same, except with extended coilovers and UCA's. The AAL's are a little bouncy/stiff at first with an empty bed but feel good once they break in. If you don't mind spending a little extra, I'd recommend the extended coilovers and UCA's. You'll get a little more travel offroad, and the UCA's improve on road handling quite a bit due to slightly altering the geometry.
