    just to be sure... you do mean to have this in the 2nd gen area, right? Your info shows you have a 2000 Tacoma.

    Curious what you want a 1" body lift to accomplish for you.....

    And as @YF_Ryan asks, are you in the correct forum? If so, seems your profile needs updating.

    Yep,just got a 2012
    I want to keep factory parts as it has 62000 miles.No serious off-road,backroads and minor stuff.
    Would like to keep suspension to 1.5 inch range in front and 2-2.5 in back for no sag.
    Would like a little more lift without dealing with new uca.
    Not opposed to doing anything thats warranted as I plan to drive for 10 years but just curious.
    I’ll be asking a ton of questions in the upcoming weeks as the 2nd Gen are new to me.

    OK, but you asked about body lift, and here you're chatting suspension.

    Very different things. And with your use/goals a body lift doesn't seem to fit.

    Sounds like you might have found a nice truck!

    I’m chatting suspension so you know my what my overall lift objective is and the reason I ask about a body lift.
    I want 2.5-3.5 i overall so I told you how I wanted to get there.
    I’m just spit balling and may go all suspension and new jba uca.
    Just asking questions because that’s how I learn.A lot of guys on here thats tried everything.

    Doesn't work very well... The bumpers attach directly to the frame and would need to also be lifted somehow or else you would have an awkward gap between them and the body. Bed would also need to be lifted to match the body. Then there's electrical and brake lines that complicate things.

    Waaaay easier just to do a suspension lift. But you don't wanna go more than about 2.5" on the front because you only have 3" of downtravel to begin with (lift comes at the cost of downtravel).
