    I Recently Purchased an 08 2.7L 4x4 Tacoma and am looking to install a 2" to 3" lift but really don't have any experience in this area, any suggestions on types or kits would be helpful.

    GPS Navigation System, Old Man Emu complete lift with Dakar springs. Light Racing UCA's. BFG AT tires, KMC Enduro rims, Allpro E-locker guard. ARB Portable Air Compressor CKMP12. Backflip Tonneau Cover. Wet Okole seat covers.
    Hey Josh welcome to TW. Maybe explain how you plan to use the truck and maybe what your budget is and hopefully some of the more experienced guys on the forum can help you out.

    I went with the complete OME (Old Man Emu) lift and love it. Good luck and looking forward to your build.

    3" toytech lift, front spacers, AAL in the rear, 285/75r16 goodyear duratrac, blacked out emblems and taillights, pained grill
    I went with the toytec lift. The price would be under 500 shipped. You could either go with an AAL in the rear or blocks. Everyone has their own opinion on which is better. I went with the AAL....the ride is a bit stiffer but it is better for towing. Really depends on the primary use of the truck
