    Hi, this is Phil from Wichita, KS

    Just refinanced my Taco 3rd Gen and I'm about to put $6000 towards my dream overland build.
    So excited. She's getting a full Rough Country 3.5" lift suspension, and lockers front and back if I can swing it.67544892269__288C87BF-CEF9-41BB-9CA0-DEBA4BC95BC9.jpg

    Tires in the pic are old news btw.

    I'd love to see your build list. Looking for inspiration a little bit.

    Ok well I did some more research and found out that the 4" lift kit is a better kit overall due to relocating most of the suspension. it includes diff drop spacers and carrier bearing spacers as well as all new knuckles. It also looks like it drops the antisway bar as well. I will probably need to buy extended brake lines, but not worried too much. Now I have the parts in, everything looks fairly straight forward. I can fabricate new mounts for the brake line bracket if I need to.
