    I'm thinking about doing a 2 inch suspension lift with a 2 inch body lift. Does anyone know what, if any, will also need to be changed?
    Thanks

    Fill in the giant 2 inch gaps on your bumpers that come with a body lift...

    Most people dont body lift their tacomas because the bumpers dont line up. Old trucks its fine with the straight metal bumpers, but with plastic front and plastic rear it just doesnt work.

    You will ruin your truck and eventually have major steering column problems if you do this. If you must have a BL, keep it at 1" and go with a good coilover lift. Good luck with your truck.

    Going with that kit. Maybe just not use any body lift if it's going to cause problems.

    I wouldn't do a body lift.
