Looking to put a lift kit

Hi of course i m new here =P

so i came to the best place to ask my questions.

i have a 2008 Toyota Tacoma 2wd 4.0 v6 gas

tax season is just around the corners i m looking to get new tires , something with a lil more meat. and something with somewhat of an aggrisive look to it.

I m thinking of just keeping my OEM rims and getting them powder coated black.

but my real question is. li m looikg to put a lift on my truck . lookin for 2.5 to 3.0

I have heard nothing but bad things about strut spacers and such. I m not looking for the OFFROAD experince . i just want a good look to my truck.

do any of u have a tacoma 2wd with a 3in lift? what type of lift do u have for it?

i would like to see some of ur guys set ups thank u

 

The most common cheap option is Bilstein 5100 shocks all around and an ad a lead (AAL) in the rear. The fronts are adjustable to provide lift. Do some searching for that and come back with some specific questions if you have any. Lots of info already out there.

These you can set the 5100s at .85 for a 2.5-3" lift, and the springs are less preloaded.

 

since you're 2wd, get a spindle lift. cheaper and will give you 4" lift safely and effectively
