    So my first truck is an 04 crew can tacoma. I was wondering if anybody had advice on weather to lift it or just to keep to stock suspension and add bigger tires.

    You can do either or. Or you can do both. It's up to you. Just do some research before you do anything.

    There are pros and cons to a lot of modifications. Overall, lifts are worth it :) The highest we really go before potentially needing a whole bunch of aftermarket parts and/or body modification is 3". This can be obtained with front lift coilover shocks and adding in a leaf spring to the rear. There are TONS of threads on here regarding both of those. But maybe you already knew that...didn't mean to talk down. Anyway, Welcome to TW!
