    Hey there, It depends what you are trying to achieve. For better performance and ride quality it is better to go with a 3" suspension Lift. (New Coil Overs, New leaf Springs, etc) We offer many different options for this set up. If you are just going for pure aesthetics and you want a 4" there are some cheaper drop bracket lifts from like 4 wheel parts. (I put a suspension lift on my 2012 Tacoma and the dealer tried to tell me it voided my warranty but i fought it and won, so it might just depend on your dealer.)

    Good starting point:

    "Lift Kits and Your Factory Warranty
    Many truck owners are understandably concerned about how a leveling kit or lift kit will effect their warranty. There are two answers to this question:

    1. The law protects vehicle owners. The Magnusson-Moss act makes it illegal for an auto manufacturer or auto dealer to void a warranty just because a vehicle has been modified. The only way that a vehicle warranty can be effected is if the lift or leveling kit is the direct cause of a failure.

    2. Some dealers are “cooler” about lift kits than others. Some Toyota dealers view themselves as the keepers of the sacred warranty flame, and they refuse to warranty anything unless a customer yells and screams. Other dealers, wise to the ways of the world, embrace owners who install lift kits and even install after-market lift kits themselves. If you can do your new vehicle service work at a dealer who sells brand-new lifted trucks, you’ll probably never have a warranty argument about your lift kit.
