    I'm looking to add anywhere between 1-2.5" for a modest lift without breaking the bank. I do want to make sure I'm doing it right, however, as my truck has over 100k miles and will be an asset to me when I graduate college (thankful and very lucky to have parents who spoiled me with a tacoma for high school graduation, meaning I can start life without having to worry about a car payment).

    I believe I have decided on how I would like to go about lifting the truck. Some quick info, I'm currently running 265/75/16s and recently purchased a Leer 700 Series cover, which added a significant amount of weight. I also recently had the rear tsb done as well. Anyways, my plan as of right now is to install Bilsteins on all 4 corners, set the fronts to either .85" or 1.75", and throw the Toytec 1.5" AAL on the back. Down the line I would pick up some OME coils (880 or 881) and reset the fronts to 0".

    Does this sound good? How much lift could I expect with the Leer cover weighing it down? Anything else I would need to get? I've read about UCAs and the like but it doesn't seem like they are necessary for such a small lift, but I'm no expert.

    I should add that I would like for there to still be a slight forward lean when it's all said and done.

    Thanks a bunch
