    I'm looking to lift my 2012 DC TRD OR in the very near future. I already have steel, front bumper with winch, rear bumper, and sliders. Plus aluminum skids. Seeking opionons on these kits and suggestions for other possible options. I want no less than 1.5", and no greater than 3" of lift front or rear. Ideally I'm wanting about 2" lift front and rear, I'd like to keep factory rake. Price wise $2K is better, but I can rob my piggy bank and go upto $3K. I only want to do this once, I'm not big into continual upgrades. So I want to get it right the first time.

    The following are screen shots of the options in the poll:

    I got Icon stage 6 kit 20% off earlier this month. They were having a pre-black friday icon sale that was supposed to be repeated next week. Keep an eye out for it.

    If you want to do it right why not go kings? I spent about what you're looking at including uppers and dakars it would be aroud 3. 2k for shocks. 500 for uppers and 500 for leafs.

    Do this above....

    Or go kings with dakars leaf pack. If I had the money, I'd do kings front and rear, dakars leaf pack, total chaos UCAs, shackle flip kit, ubolt kit, extended brake lines. And that should put you around $2900 if you buy everything around Black Friday, it'll be cheaper with a different set of ucas

    If you email Marie at headstrong offroad she'll get to you within a few hours. I know they are doing a reduction sale right now. I'm about to buy some rear shocks from them

    If you've got the coin to replace the leaf pack, I hear all pro packs are a comfier ride than dakars.

    There's a lot of great choices. But ucas seem to be a must and heavier Springs for all the extra weight

    Go with kings great quality nothing but good to say about mine and customer service great. Or consider ADS.. they make great shocks. Driven a few tacomas on them and I was pretty impressed to say the least plus quality is top notch. You can even get rear bypasses that mount up to the stock location

    I have the all pro standard pack and it rides much better than the previous Dakar lead pack I had doesn't hold weight as well but all pro has the expo leaf pack as well
