    I greatly appreciate the insight. Going to check out both options and see what works best and order it all at once. More than likely I will replace the leafs. Others have suggested OME?

    Hey guys need input on the lift I’m thinking of getting to pair with 33” tires. Would 3” front and 2” back work for my purpose? Do I need a diff drop kit? See attached image. TIA

    That's a very common setup. 33's are the most common size to fit, however there's always a chance of trimming or chopping needed depending on how much those tires contact the front inner fenders and body mount.

    A diff drop kit isn't required, but it's recommended.
    New UCA's are also needed at that height.

    Our website breaks down the options much more clearly: https://exitoffroad.com/product/dobinsons-lift-kit-toyota-tacoma-2016-2020-with-quick-ride-rear/

    We're also running a promo (top banner) this month

    Thank you @Crikeymike, I did check your website but went to dobinsons direct since it was a tad cheaper with the fronts assembled. Do you a coupon code by chance? Lol trying to save as much as possible.

    I have a question:
    Which Dobinson setup do you have installed in your Tacoma? Do you replace the leaf springs too or did you added a Icon 1.5 AAL?
    Thank you

    Can't really give you a good comparison because I had great comfort on my 5160 Bilsteins, but I had no bumpers or anything (a 2021 truck not this one). The Dobinsons rode very well, but I had a steel bumper, sliders, winch and rear bumper.
