Hello Fellow AZ Folks

I have a New 2020 Tacoma OR TRD. Tacoma World Has a lot of Information and have enjoyed reading.

I plan to do a small lift and go up to 265/75/16 Tires. Trying to keep to a simple system and reasonable budget.

I have been following the Eibach Lift kit Thread on the 3rd Generation forum. I am interested in this system. But am also researching all options.

I am in far north Phoenix. Does anyone have any recommendations to shops on this side of town? The Lift shop on bell Rd has very good reviews and have thought about going by there to see what they have to say. Has anyone had experience with these folks?
I would like to find someone local that I could trust to work on the lift for my truck.

Also does anyone have a recommendation to a service person at a dealer on the North side that I could go to for the service while under the warranty? after the 2 year car care I will probably do my own oil Changes and light maintenance work as I have usually done most of this stuff over the years. I bought my truck at a broker so don't have any dealership contacts. I just don't trust hardly anyone from a dealership. Too many bad experiences in earlier years. Bell Road Toyota would be closest to me if anyone knows someone there. Larry Miller is not far but have heard bad things.


Thanks for any info are advice. Have a good day all.

I had the dealer that I bought my Tacoma from do my lift but I did have the LiftShop do my front end, winch and Spod install, they did a great job on all of it.

 

Thanks Butch1977. Appreciate the info!!

 

Sadly I'm on the North side of Phoenix, and I can't recommend Bell Toyota service dept (they didn't have a quick oil change process so my free oil changes took 1-2hrs). The parts dept charges more than retail, so order online with Camelback toyota for parts. I swapped rims and the service guy quoted me $299 to reprogram the TPS sensors to the truck, and discount tire did it for free. Mike Romero is my Service rep at Camelback Toyota, and he will let you bring in synthetic oil for your oil changes when they are doing the free 2 years maintenance. very flexible on getting you in for appointments and really nice waiting room with a quiet room upstairs. I make the drive for the better service.
Go see Wil at Sierra Expeditions on Broadway/101 for lift truck work. He is super honest and has talked me out of more mods than I can think of. If you are ever going to put weight in the back of the truck an OME lift and OME Dakar leafpack is the way to go. it will get you a 2.5" lift without having to buy UCA's and it will align without a problem.

 

Great info Thanks cytocycle ! I will look at going to Camelback Toyota for service. I was planning on stopping by Sierra Expeditions in the next week are so to see what they had to say. I had read some good reviews on them also. Thanks again. Much appreciated

 

Who did you get your bumper from? Looks badass

 

Thank you, I got installed at The Lift Shop, it is a Camburg CTE.

Thanks I’m looking for something like this for a 2nd gen

 

I’ve heard a lot of people recommended Camelback Toyota for parts. I’ve had good luck for parts at Right Toyota in North Scottsdale. parts.righttoyota.com. Parts guy is Rich Knight. The fact is most dealerships offer a discounted wholesale parts website. You either need to “google” it or just call them and ask if they have a discounted wholesale website. Many don’t advertise it. Many will link you to the retail MSRP for parts from their main website.

 

I go to camelback for all my free oil changes, thats where i got the truck, take like 2 hrs but their dealership is nice to walk around in and lounge with their free wifi.

 

I think that's only 1 inch bigger tire. Won't that fit without any lift?

Does anyone know the largest tire size a Gen 3 OR TRD will take? Mine is 2019.

Does anyone know of a lift shop in Tucson?

 

Yes the 265/75/16 will fit with out any rubbing. I put on my new K02s and drove it for a week are so at the stock height with no problems. Just had Billstein 5100s installed the other day. I am amazed at how much better it improved my drive with the new shocks. I only went to the 2 clip .65 to level the truck out a little. Drives Great! With Tires and 5100s I was able to get a 1 1/4" Lift in the front and a 1/2" in the back for a little more of a level look and still have a little Rake of about a 1/2" Truck looks great and was what I was trying to accomplish.
