    I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma 2wd extended cab and am looking to lift it not too high but not too low either. Should I go leveling kit or lift kit, & how much lift should I go?

    This was literally posted a few hours earlier

    2" lift is recommended, more than that and you'll run into possible alignment issues with the stock upper control arms.

    How much do you wish to spend?

    Is the lift for aesthetics? Ground clearance for off road?
