    Need info on a good lift been looking at icon, king, and toy tec. I don't use it to run off road a lot probable 2 a month. So not sure if the icon and king r worth the money for the little I will use it. Any info helps I know nothing about lifts for tacomas but I don't want any block system.

    To be fair though- my Toytec coils with 5100's ride really nice too... Probably not as plush as Kings (I'd hope not) but- better than the stock TRD setup for sure and plenty capable for some backwoods exploration.

    I was looking up a set up I've looked into the toy tec with the light racing uca with Dakar leaf and the boss shocks all the way around was like 2300. And just the king shocks r around 2300 but I have a messed up rear leaf spring so I was going to get the Dakar but will they work with the Kings or make my truck set up in the ass

    Kings or Icons you can not go wrong. If you have the budget it is the best upgrade you can do.

    Just got Icon coil overs and they are great on the road/hwy as well as off road. They also end up giving you up to 0-3 inches of more lift depending where you want them. Expensive but you really can't beat the quality and look. If you go with King or Icon I would also highly recommend new UCA's.

    Yeah I don't see why the leaf springs wouldn't work with the shocks, should be fine. I have 285/70/16 Toyos

    Budget is everything...(do it correct the first time) Up front I have kings with total chaos UCA. My rear is stock and she works great!! I'm running 285x75x16 BGF. I have been saving up for Dakar leaf pack with 2.5 kings and under the fender shock hoop for the rear.
