    Good Morning Guys and Gals,

    I hope you're all doing well!

    I installed a 3" King Suspension on my 3rd gen Taco (alignment was done after install), what other additions should be installed? I'm kind of new to mod upgrades. Can I get some advice?
    I feel like going from 16" to !7" rims, but I feel like that should go last on the list.

    Any advice and feedback is welcomed

    Before you randomly start throwing gear at the truck, because it's addicting. Be honest with yourself about what you plan to do with the truck, where you want to go, the difficulty of the trials you want to get into and the amount of time spent out in the middle of no where. Once you have a decent ideal of those factors, you start to build/ collect gear to accomplish those goals. For an overall arguable the best place to start is recovery and protection. Get that sorted out and then have fun. You'll learn what you really need along the way.

    I would upgrade the bump stops (Sumo Springs are my Fav), add in upper control arms, carrier bearing drop (Assuming you are lifted in the rear 1.5-2")

    Going from 16 to 17" rims opens up tire options a little and gives a little more clearance with the front brake calipers. Helps if a shop puts a wheel weight in the wrong spot and it rubs on a caliper or when the offset is different. I have seen that before.
