    there is no 4 so.......and lift is not the only thing that determines fitment. Lots of factors involved. I suggest you follow the links in my signature and read....alot.

    oh welcome to the infamous TacomaWorld forums.

    They do not. They likely offer 4” blocks with a cheap cross member lift.

    A full basic suspension would be coils, shocks, and leafs and that will run you $2k-4k.

    For that tire you’ll need 3” lift, good wheel backspacing, minor trimming, and positive caster from your alignment usually requiring new UCA

    Check out the suspension section and the build section

    So not a "lift" but a "lift?"

    The point being it’s not a full suspension lift. Learn to read. There are multiple types of lifts.

    Someone told me that lifting voids warranty for 3rd gen. Is this true?

    Good looking truck. Not trying to be an ass or anything, but if you are worried about MPG, don't lift the truck and add heavy tires. Especially if you are looking to go to a 10" wide wheel. If you want some lift and maintain some of your MPG, go with a 255/85R16 or 255/80R17 tires and no lift needed; they are 33" tires and will give you a nice stance. You may have to remove the mud flaps for those tires, but that should be all. Just my $.02

    No. They won’t warranty the after market products obviously but they will everything else like normal. The dealer has to prove that a mod caused the failure in order to not fulfill the warranty claim.

    Thanks! Another question, are toytech coilovers low quality? I just found a 3" front, and a 1.5" rear kit for 650... seeing as how they are half the price of the comparable fox kit

    They are ok. Many members use them but you get what you pay for. Usually Toytec pairs with rear blocks and doesnt use remote reservoirs.
