    So I have a 2019 Tacoma 4x4 sport and Im thinking of buying a lift kit that won’t make my tires look small compared to the lift. I have 275/70/17 ko2 all terrain with a 1inch spacer in the front. Are there any recommended lift kits (no spacers) that would lift my truck around 3 inches?

    I also looked into the bilstein 5100 and they lift around 2in. Would that even make it look more lifted compared to the 1inch spacer I have on it already?

    sorry if doing this wrong thanks in advance

    You don't need 3" with those tires. 2" is plenty. You said good lift, so I assume you want something durable that rides as good or better than stock. If so, I'll point you to adjustable kits by Fox, King, Elka, Dobinsons, OME or Icon. Suspension is a place where you get what you pay for and looks tell none of the story.

    Op it all depends on how much you are willing to pay. 3inch might require you to do alot more than you want to spend. Also are you thinking 3inch front and 3inch rear or 3inch front 2inch rear?

    OME make entry level, great quality suspension kits at a good price.

    I’m running 2” OME lift with dobinsons medium leaf springs, couldn’t be happier.

    I wouldn’t do 3” lift though, leaves you with pretty much no downtravel. I already feel my suspension bottom out when driving fast over speed bumps/patholes.

    One inch lift on 6112s is plenty for me.

    Function over form, I don't like bottoming out.

    I put the Eibach pro on mine a couple years ago. Wouldn't do anything different. Oh and I run 275/17.

    Lights, Lift, more to come...
    I went with Icon and ended up 2.5 inches lifted. The ride is great both on and off road.

    looks like your truck is leaning back. i would lower the front by a half inch or maybe 1 inch. otherwise looks good as it is
