    I’m trying to buy a lift for my 2021 TRD Off road 4x2. I’m not 100% sure on exactly what to order. I was looking at Kings front and back but can’t seem to find any in stock online. I’m trying to go 3 inches in the front and 2 inches in the back to help level it out from the stock lift. I’m looking to spend around 3k total. I was also looking at the Icon stage 4 kit but it only allows for a 2.75 inch lift. Any help on what to order and from where would be much appreciated!

    Icon stage 3 and I left the overload in, so 2.75" front and 2" rear and sits perfectly level, you are going to have a hard time getting any suspension setups right now, everything is out of stock.

    I would do the ECGS Bushing also at the same time but everything else you need is in that kit, but I would call to confirm it's in stock. They even have a warning message come up that says to call first.

    IMO, if you live in a cold winter climate skip KINGS they don't perform well or last.

    Mine didn't make it 12 months before they started to leak ( I run coilover covers and keep a tidy ship)

    Check out ELKA suspension they have some nice stuff.

    I was looking at those but they’re just a little out of my price range sadly.

    If I'm understanding your situation properly, no. You don't have front CV's, so there's no bearing/bushing to replace.

    Stock is trash right now for everything. I ordered kings 4 months ago and just got my rears in yesterday. Still waiting on the fronts. Don't do Icon unless you know you want a digressive rebound shock. Which you might if it's staying on pavement

    This is the kit I had. Only thing I had to do differently was that the AAL was not strong enough for adding a shell and gear in the bed. I ended up having to get RTX leaf springs to replace my stock leaf pack and Icon AAL.

    Edit: these appear out of stock also
    I don't know much about these, but they're on sale 25% off with code spring25

    Lots of options depending on your needs and budget, but as you know inventory is limited if not backordered everywhere.

    I like the fox 2.5 setups with aftermarket uca's and Dakar's or deaver springs, but I'm not aware of any places having inventory.
