    I want to lift my car 3-4 inches and I have a 2020 Toyota Tacoma trd-off road 4x4 Crew and I am just looking at the suspension and things like that I really want a fox or Icon and plan on possible snow/heavy rain/offroading. I am just more curious what I will need to complete the kit or if you have any kits to recommend I am not looking to spend over 2000 if possible and this what I am looking at right now.

    FOX: https://www.shocksurplus.com/produc...wd-rwd-6-lug?variant=39551831572529#live-chat

    ICON: https://www.iconvehicledynamics.com...-0-35--16-up-0-275-stage-1-suspension-system/
    (Yes I know that these only go 2.75 for my car but looking for a possibility of ones that go 3-4)

    Thank you!

    Ok thank you for explaining I guess what I mean by pre-built is something that comes with everything in the box no fuss and will raise my car and let me put the bigger wheels and such on.

    I do drive on roads a lot too so that is a point also.

    I had a 2 1/2 inch Icon lift on my 4runner with a body mount chop. But Fox is equally good.

    I would get somebody who knows what they are doing to install it because your choice of springs and how you set up the suspension could give you a ridiculously plush ride or just beat you up on the bumps.

    Ok so you are saying I should get a cut and a kit? if so please recommend a kit that will allow the larger tires with a cut.

    How do we go from ICON and Fox, which are considered to be premium high end suspensions to hockey pucks?

    I spoke to a ADS rep and he said just get a front shock and level it out with after market controls and I could get a size up on the tires for front and back no problem

    No I said that they quoted me that for the height nothing more and the total with/ including install and alignment was 1800.
