Lift suggestions

Hello I'm new to this forum! I'm wondering what people have done for 3 to 4 inch lifts that are capable of overlanding?

I have a 2022 Tacoma 4 door, 6ft box.

I'm looking to spend around $4000 to 6000CAD.

Thanks

 

Most stay 2.5" and under. Over that problems start. For 4" and over cross member gets cut out, and drop bracket is installed. 2" to 2.5" is plenty.

 

Been off-road form Barrow Ak through all of Canada, Mexico, and currently in Chile. Been through everything. Snow, mud, rocks, sand, fallen trees, across creeks, rivers, you name it. 61k miles of nothing but the truck working.

Not lifted. Just a damn good set of tires, replacement set is waiting in Santiago. Haven’t had one issue. I like having all the suspension travel this truck has stock. I’m in for function not looks. Sure the lifted trucks look good but that lift comes at a price. Just my opinion. Responses will show just how uncool my opinion is.

 

I'd point out that we have a suspension forum and a search function. And similar questions are asked multiple times a week.......

Over 2.5" starts to put mechanical strain on some things

Lift does not automatically allow bigger tires. Wheel fitment matters more.

The driver skill and right tires for the terrain matter most

'overlanding' is a bit vague. Some folks build to drive where an old AMC Hornet could go. Some never leave the mall. Some, like @PTSDTherapy above, actually do something. Others, like @Rock Lobster take great off-road trips in a prerunner towing a camper.

Welcome and happy decision making!

 

I was going to politely skip this thread and defer to others to answer, but since I was tagged, I'll throw in my 2 cents.

I drive a 2018 Sport 2WD. as @Clearwater Bill says, I do tow a camper into many of the "overland" areas, sometimes off road, sometimes across private land thanks to sites like Hipcamp.


... I did not change from stock suspension until a year and a half ago. It took me 3 something years to a) learn what a stock prerunner can really do on a set of good tires, b) read the suspension threads on here whenever I wasn't making an ass of myself, and c)really feel confident in deciding exactly what I wanted in an upgraded suspension. I didn't buy mine for the lift. I bought it for being able to tow over a wide variety of terrain.

I can say what works for me, because I did my homework. I can't say what will work for you. You might be happy with the more popular lift options, or you might want something specific. It's as varied as asking your favorite flavor of ice cream. The good news is, you don't have to buy gear right this minute. That's actually the worst thing you can do. Take your time. Let your truck speak to you. In the meantime, the library on this particular dot-com is larger than Alexandria. I strongly suggest taking advantage of it. I feel like I have my master's in Tacoma-ology after spending a few short years on here.
