Help me lift my Tacoma - Looking for advice to help me finalize my purchase

Hey there everyone

Looking for some help, advice and thoughts for adding a lift up to 2.5 inches

Current status...
2015 TRD Off-Road - 57k miles on Stock Suspension
Summer Wheels - 265/75/16 Falken Wildpeak AT-3w on 16" TRD Beadlockers
Winter Wheels - 265/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler AT/S on 17" 4 Runner Take Offs

Daily Driver - would like a soft ride and be off road capable light trails etc - It's fun to "send it" I would just like a softer ride when you do hit it... (I also have a Ford Raptor and like the soft comfortable ride it has)



Thinking about these options - Bold is "Probable/Preferred choice"

Front Shocks - Bilstein 6112
Front Springs - ??
Front UCA - Needed/Should do? SPC, JBA, etc

Rear Shocks - Bilstein - 5100's different versions??, 5100 - 5125?? 5160??
Rear Springs - Complete replacement?? AAL? Blocks?

2nd Gen parts?? - I read about using 3rd gen parts or Tundra parts also?

If I am in there already should I be doing any bushings etc... just want to go in and not go back in for a bit..

I am usually in the camp of do it once, do it right for the best that I can within a budget of some sort... I know some have gone one way, and then swapped out for something different but I would like to eliminate that to be as cost effective as possible.

Pic's if you have them

Thank you in advance for your help and knowledge, I really appreciate your time...

Current update....

OK.... about my earlier lift post

I am looking to place an order for my lift parts for my 2015 4x4 DCSB Tacoma.

Looking at this

Bilstein 6112's in the front, 5160's in the rear, 3 leaf AAL and a set of JBA uca's

Looking for 2 - 2.5 inches from what I have... choices for front shock settings are listed below.

Should I do the front coil settings as #4 or number #5... Is there any reason I should not go top setting on the front shocks??

Just starting to order parts to move things along... maybe 3 weeks to a month before the stuff would be available at this point.

Thoughts? Advice?? Words of encouragement?

Thank you all in advance

Considering putting a lift on my 15 in the near future. My truck is a daily driver that pulls a boat and drivers on gravel roads occasionally. Hope to maintain a lift height similar to what you are looking for. Not wanting to open a can of worms or create a negative impact on road manners. The #4 setting on the 6112s is what I have been leaning towards but not sure what to do about the rear. Be glad to see what you come up with. Hopeful some of these guys will chime in that have more knowledge than I.

 

Maybe order through Wheelers off-road and go with Eibach pro lift front and rear and wheels AAL in the rear to maintain rake? Would put you at around $750 total!

 

If your going to lift it put a realistic budget out there otherwise don't mess with it. Don't become the trade in junkie because you failed to plan your purchase. These vehicles are significant investments plan accordingly and be rewarded with years of reliability.

 

Save your money.....call Accutune Offroad and go with a Stage 4 lift.You won't regret it.

 

CURRENT UPDATE....

Placed my order for the parts for my 2015 4x4 DCSB Tacoma.... Looking at this - <--- Chose this setup

Ordered everything through Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and I couldn't be happier. Great personality, knowledge, communication and service. I have had my 6112s for a couple of weeks and the 5160s just arrived 2 days ago...All packed very well and arrived safe.

Bilstein 6112's FOR THE FRONT - 5160's IN THE REAR, 3 leaf AAL and a set of JBA uca's

Looking for 2 - 2.5 inches from stock and had HeadStrong install the front coils at the #5 setting.

Just waiting on the HeadStrong 3Leaf AAL which is on its way to them and hopefully will be headed my way soon.

Added these for the rear 5160s so the shock tubes can be piggybacked together... I prefer the look of them with these brackets added.
