hello i am new to this site and i would like to see if anyone is running this kit on their 2017.. i know absolutely nothing about this. so please i would like some info on this who currently have or have had this. i dont do nothing too crazy offroad but i do do some offroad. this kit comes with.
thanks in advance..

• Upper Control Arms included for proper suspension geometry
• Upper coil / strut spacers maintain a near factory ride
• Uni-Ball provide additional suspension travel, extremely durable
• Factory front struts can be retained

 

Cheap kit, you're adding a huge block to the top of the factory strut.

I know RC is appealing but they are lower end lifts and you have selected probably the cheapest 4" lift out there.

Look around on the forums and see what others are running or suggesting.

 

they are really cheap in price so this all makes sense. I've done some research on whole new suspensions lift for 3rd generation tacoma but i dont see any true 3" lift kits out there.. they're all 2".. i really want a 3" lift..

Spacer lifts aren't ideal for offroading but work great if you want the lift look and bigger tires. 3 and 2 is perfect for these trucks.

 

i would like to get the spacers but i also like to offroad.. i dont really want to do it if it'll mess-up my truck..

 

just do what you want.

 

Spacers=bad, read the sticky thread on lifting a Tacoma. When your done reading it, go read the 3rd gen build threads. There are people on there that have built on minimal budge to unlimited budget. Took me a year to decide the proper route for my needs.

 

Welcome. Your Tacoma is off road ready as is, enjoy it. Uniballs can be a noisy pain. Spacers can be damaging, depending on the size. For a solid level and no geometry strain, go with the toytec 1/2 spacers. You won’t need UCAS.

Difference-

 

The best 4 inch lift would be a spindle lift kit.

Look up Camburg or MaxTrac.

 

well I've been doing research and so far looks like spacers suck for offroading... i want a 3inch suspension lift but looks like there are none for 3rd gens?

 

If it’s 2wd, sure

 

Why? What will it accomplish for you?

 

better ground clearance and bigger tire size for offroad..

 

Lift does not fit bigger tires. 265/75 16
Or 265/70 17 are the biggest your going to fit. Anything bigger requires cutting, trimming, and hammering.

 

More research needed!

 

I care about your issue but I just can’t even imagine where to begin. 2 inches is what you seek, and explaining that... I’m sorry.

 

i dont mind trimming, cutting and doing the cmc. i can do all that. I've seen people have 285/75's with 3 inch lifts.

 

Lift does not equate to more ground clearance. Bigger Tires = more actual ground clearance. If you want to fit 285's you don't need a 3" lift, but do what you want to do, your money your truck, enjoy.

 

OP has a 4WD

 

You can do 3 inch and clear those tires with the right wheel setup and offset
