Best bang for the buck lift kit ?

looking to lift my Tacoma but having a hard time picking out a lift kit and has to be budget friendly any Recommendations?

 

"Budget-friendly" does not help.

Specify a number.

Marie over at @HeadStrong Off-Road can help you find a solution in less then 2 hours.

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld! I recommend using the search feature and then you’ll eventually realize you want a Bilstein setup, so just call Headstrong Offroad and talk to Marie.

Why are you having a hard time?

 

bilstein 5100s

 

5100s

 

$40k truck, $400 "lift kit"

 

Why? Poseur or functional? Makes a difference in the answers.

'Kits' sometimes apply. Sometimes they are wasteful. You can select the right pieces and make your own 'kit'.

Who's budget? Oh, your's, right? Well, what kind of limits do we have?

Yes. Figure out all the above and call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and tell her that information. Install what she ships you.

 

Maxtrac 6.5" Lift Kit - 2WD ONLY - K886864
good buy or not ?

 

What lift kit is $400?

 

Do you have a prerunner?

 

2wd trd off road but i guess yes

 

2wd, just do the drop bracket lift and lift it 6+ inches. It'll look sick

 

Fox Stage 4 w/ RXT pack

 

low range off road has a leveling kit for less than 300 if I remember right, but its just a suggestions guys...I am not advocating the use of a leveling kit....just giving him the options...lol, even though I will add 5100's...haha

Oh yeah a leveling kit can be around 400 but 5100s, with 887s and AAL is around 700

 

Instead of voting for one or the other, can someone provide some intelligent dialog comparing the differences between, let's say, Bilstein 6112s, Fox Stage 4 and an ICON setup?

For example, if one has an Offroad with Bilsteins, will 6112s feel much different? The Bilstean brand seems to have the cost advantage but do Fox shocks have a better ride quality? And ICON better than FOX? I like the idea of being adjustable for road and offload...

 

For mall crawling get the readylift leveling kit. If you actually are even thinking about the 6 inch lift, you might as well go long travel with some kings

 

This is how I'm planning to go. I consider it budget friendly

 

I guess I'm in the same boat - looking for a "best bang for the buck" that gives me the damn best ride offroad and on. 0-1" lift would be plenty. Stock wheels with KO2s. Willing to go with UCAs if I need to for more travel. Pretty serious offroading but this is also a daily city driver. I don't want to state a budget - but I'd like to prioritize ride quality, avoid ridiculously expensive options and find out how much I need to plan on saving. Thanks in advance for any thoughtful responses!
