3 inch lift vs leveling kit

Hey guys, new to the forum. Hopped over about 2 years ago from the jeep world. Looking at lifting my Tacoma but absolutely do not want to spend a lot. I found leveling kits for cheap 3in in the front 1in in the rear, and a rough country 3in suspension lift. Buying wheels and tires next week going with either cooper AT3s or Grabber AT2s 275/75R17 and was wondering what my truck would look like if I were to do the lift over the leveling kit and tires or if I should take a different route. I am not a wheeler in this truck, I was in the jeep but not anymore haha, it is however, 4x4. Wheels will be 17/9.5 I believe. Could be wrong lol. Thanks everyone!

 

Go with the bilstien 5100 adjustable in front and 5100 in the rear with a add a leaf or 2 and you will achieve you lift. Approximate total new in box is around 700. Search on the for sale threads and you can get them cheaper just a waiting game and they would be slightly used most likely. Up to you welcome to TW!

 

Thank you!! I will definitely look in to them!

 

For a couple hundred more (new) you can put a new spring set in the front. Old man emu (would have to pick spring to fit ride desired) and you will be able to keep tje adjustable at 0 and still achieve the lift. We have 600lb springs stock. Ome go from 881 - 888 I believe.

 

Whatever you choose (options are plenty) go with the remote reservoir versions. They are sick dude on a Lifed Taco
