    So I don't know if this is normal or if there is something wrong with my lift. I installed a 3" lift from toyoteclifts on my 2014 access cab. I have bilstein 5100 all around with eibach sprins set on the .85 setting and the spacer for the driver side. And a 2" add a leaf in the rear. For the first week she looked lifted but now she looks like a regular tacoma. I have parked her next to other tacomas with no lift and I can't tell the difference. Is this normal? Or am I missing something?

    This might be a dumb question.. But what size tire did you go up to?

    When I first installed the same lift I did not see much difference either, perhaps a slight height increase over other Tacoma truck beds and such.. Then I remembered I was dumb, lifts do not raise ride height per se, tires are what gives you the increased height off the ground.

    That first week after the lift could have been you noticing a difference since you knew there was one, now you may be used to it so it does not seem as large.
