Lifting a Tacoma

Alright. I’m looking to lift my tacoma about 3-4 inches. I don’t wanna do blocks, and I’m not going with rough country. What’re some good lifts?

 

Alright.

 

Welcome to TW. You’re going to find lots of opinions here. Have you tried the search feature yet? Check it out, there is a lot of good info and some really knowledgeable members.

 

Do lots of research before you buy anything, there is alot more to lifting these trucks than just installing a set of coilovers or spacers. Here is what I run and there is alot more to this setup than you can see. Welcome to TW and good luck with your truck.

 

Well. I don’t do a lot of offroading, but I do some. I need a little more clearance than I have now. But I’m not a big fan of blocks

 

Bilstein 5100s all around should cover the bases for you. Maybe 887 coils then an add-a-leaf in the rear

 

kings for sure.

I can pull any waitress from the sizzler with this rig, and I can use the compression adjusters if they’re +size (most are).

 

This is some good reading:

Bilstein is good. Fox and Icon are really good. Kings are great.
Bilstein is affordable. Fox and Icon are higher priced. Kings are expensive.

3-4” lift without spacers or blocks, and not doing a drop bracket lift, the lift will cost you a lot as there are a bunch of other things you have to do when you go that high.

 

What size tire can I fit without rubbing?

 

Welcome to TW.. You are in the right place, lots of very knowledgeable and experienced people here.. You just ought to make sure you know what you want to do with your truck, what type of off road you are going to do and how much money you want to spend, as this can get pretty expensive.. I went with the ICON front and rear and very happy with it.

Whatever you decide to go with post pictures..

 

Maybe consider getting bigger tires first?

 

Icon sucks.

 

I would go with Fox or King over Icon for recommendation. But it sounds like you should stick to a bilstein 5100, OME, or Eibach lift.

 

Long Travel or GTFO..... buy once cry always right?

 

i say fox it!!! go fox yourself lol

 

So basically you aren't doing much if any offroading...i get it...

 

If you aren't gonna off road, just get spacers. There's nothing wrong with spacers. Why spend so much money on branded suspension that will never see dirt?

Rough Country is fine for what you need. Nobody is gonna look at your suspension and say "you never off road because you run rough country." In fact, more people will say "you spent thousands on your suspension and you never off road?!?!"
