Can someone tell me how lifted this is?

Thinking about getting a 3 inch lift but I want to know how lifted this already is to see if want more or not.

 

looks 2 1/2 spacer lift

 

If 4wd 2.5 is about all you want so the CVs stay healthy.

Unless you do a drop bracket lift, which retains steering geometry but cuts a piece out of the frame

Prerunners can do more.

 

- maybe I’ll just lift the back more, I want it to be a little bigger

 

Measure the thickness of the spacer that is on top of your front coilover shocks... Doubling that will give you the approximate front lift height (front suspension has roughly a 2:1 lift ratio).
If I had to guess, that looks like a 1.5" thick spacer (meaning 3" lift), which is about where CV joint failures can start to happen.

For the rear, it's a 1:1 lift ratio if the rear springs are stock (however tall the rear block is (if any) = lift height).

Lifting the back up more would definitely improve it's stance. But agreed, it looks like you're already at the limit for the front (arguably ½" - 1" over it even).

A drop bracket kit that brings down the lower control arms & front differential housing is the way to go if you really want the front higher (this fixes the front CV joint and steering geometry after it is lifted, also restores your downtravel). But like was said, the frame needs a crossmember removed for the new replacement crossmember to fit (not necessarily permanent if you save the old one, but it would need welded back on should you ever decide to uninstall the lift).

BDS is generally my 1st recommendation for a DB kit:

will probably go with just lifting the back and see how that looks, what's the best budget way to do so? Thinking maybe 3.5 inches total lift in the back if the front is at 3( ill check this) I like the look with the back being a little higher than the front.

 

Well the "budget" way to do it would simply be taller lift blocks... If the blocks are too tall though (generally anything above 2-2½"), it can degrade the handling over bumps/causes excessive axle wrap. Next step up would be an

$190 Add-A-Leaf kit for 1995-2023 Toyota Tacoma - 21.5" Short AAL Set with Isolator Pads and Square Bend U-Bolts

Add-A-Leaf kit (good for adding 1.5-2" if you have stock springs). AAL can make the ride somewhat stiffer, but shouldn't change the handling behavior much.
Best would of course be new (lifted) leaf springs (I have the Icon RXT myself... Dobinsons looks like another worthwhile choice).

 

Definitely agreed on DCLB looking better with more lift.

Rough Country can be hit or miss... Their 4" DB kit isn't too bad, but their 3-3.5" lift stuff for the front that doesn't have DBs (and all but maybe their Vertex shocks) should all be avoided.
I would expect RC's leaf springs to ride a bit stiffer than something like the RXT, but durability may be an unknown. I had Skyjacker leaf springs (maybe on par with RC, not sure) on another vehicle, and while they rode well, I was repeatedly bending the main leaf right at the forward eye, but i also tend to push my vehicles a bit harder than most people do (rock crawling).

What does your rear lift consist of now? (1" block?)

 

I’m pretty sure it’s 1 inch block maybe 1.5 I haven’t measured it, but 2 inches more seems like it would be perfect, I would probably need new shocks for that though right? I probably leave the front how it is for now until the shocks go bad, then get rid of that spacer lift and put in a suspension lift

 

If budget allows, I'd say Icon RXT.
Between the extra leaf Icon gives you with each spring, and your existing lift blocks, you should have plenty of options available to find a lift height you like.
Yes, new (longer / extended travel) shocks will absolutely be needed if you are 2" or more higher than stock.
