    Hey there I have a 09 taco access cab, 4x4/v6. I'm wanting a 3inch lift but don't know what to go with considering I'm only familiar with the 4runner platform.
    Not looking for a crazy set up as its my daily driver. I do camp alot so I do load the box up pretty heavy aswell hitting the occasional trail. Looking for something that will make the truck sit level and won't break the bank.

    Am I the only one who is seeing this as all white text on a nearly white background? Stop using white text, nobody can read it, my eyes are bleeding. Screenshot below to help demonstrate.

    Usually 2-2.5" is the max you're going to want to lift unless you really enjoy breaking things and fixing things and buying replacement parts often. Since this is your daily, I'd go with less lift. Your CV axle angles will thank you and last much longer.

    If you are only doing occasional trails and moreso just loading for camping and truck stuff, I'd go with Dobinsons from @Crikeymike at Exit Offroad. They have kits and you can go as big or small as you like. I'd strongly suggest a full leaf pack if you are loading up the box heavy, it will serve you much better in the long run than add-a-leafs or blocks. Standard shocks and for a daily they'll be fine. Best bang for your buck.
