    Aloha, want to know if I could run 2nd gen(2005-2015) onto my 2017 taco lift kits. I want to buy locally but it’s stating “2005-2015 tacoma lift” but I’ve seen site with 05-23 lift kits. Just want to save $300 on shipping which could go towards installing it. Seller hasn’t replied to what the part numbers are but this all I got. Mahaloz

    This ^^ . I’d like to add, the lift you’ll get is approximately half an inch lower since stock 3rd gen tacomas sits higher than stock 2nd gen.

    I'm running the 2nd gen TRD Pro suspension on my 3rd gen. No issues.

    FYI: rear shocks alone won’t lift the rear, springs or blocks will.
    I thought I’d mention that, since neither are pictured and many seem to misunderstand what a shock’s purpose really is.

    Thanks guys…he already sold the lift kits. I’m looking into buying online but need help deciding or recommendations on which to buy. I want to go off roading at least every 3 months(Makalawena Trail Head/Green Sand Beach) and I’m mostly on road the rest of the year. I’m looking into RC, which money is tight atm, budget is around $1K. Please lmk guys.
