    Hello everyone! New here to the forum and have questions about putting my first mod on my 2018 SR5 Tacoma. I want to install new coil overs to raise the front end of my taco and would like to know good ones. My taco is not 4-wheel drive so do not need anything too special but the quality is important. I know I could just use spacers but would like to do it right. Also, if I raised the front end to level or just above, what size tires would fit without modifications (keeping stock 16" rims).

    Since you're 2wd you could always go with lift spindles. If you are looking for a nicer ride then some popular ones on here are bilstein 6112s, king, fox, and ads. I beleive the biggest tire you can fit is a skinny 33". You have to remember lifting an ifs front end only moves your ride height, you will (generally) still have the same articulation so you don't really get any extra room for bigger tires like solid axle trucks.

    I plan on running skinny tires since I want to keep the stock wheels (rims). Thank you! I was thinking somewhere in the 32” range was what I was looking for so knowing I could possibly fit 33” is good.
