need help with choosing suspension lift

I just recently bought my first tacoma. Its a 1996 3.4L 4wd with 4:10 gears. Im not sure what the cab is considered but its a 2 door with a small bench seat in the back. Im lookin to put a 3" suspension lift on both the front and rear but im new to puttin lifts on and im not sure which to get. I want one that wont decrese ride quality, durable off road, isn't too expensive and has everything i need. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 

welcome! you would have an extended cab or access cab. same thing pretty much just 2 ways of saying it. and from what you say i’d stay away from body lifts and spacers. both are pretty “cheap” but don’t do very good off road. spacers are ok i think, some on here will disagree..

maybe look up bilstein 5100’s

 

Been reading on this forum for years now and learned a hella lot about suspension, there are alot of options out there and it can get confusing in a hurry but sounds like you want to keep it simple. the ome lifts are real popular on this site and are quality products. Sounds like it would be perfect for what your wanting. o yeah welcome to Tw http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Old-Man-Emu-Tacoma-suspension_p_225.html

 

Just wanted to ad stay away from coil spacer lifts they make your front ride very stiff, tho ome will have better performance on & off road, you get what you pay for

 

Alright. I'll look into the ome lift. I just want to make sure what i buy has everything i need included with it. Would you happen to have a link to a complete 3inch ome suspension lift? Appreciate it.

 

yeah click on the link i put in three posts up that's the right one for your year model, it's a complete setup

or this one is cheaper depending on how much you want to spend, you would use your existing shocks with it

 

are you 5 or six lug ?

 

for the second one you posted, will using my original shocks and struts cause any problems or wear them out any? and for the options between 881 or 883 coils, im planning on putting a brush guard and winch on the front so should I get the 883 coils? and its a 6 lug.

 

No will not cause any unusual wear on the shocks ,yes get the883 coils if your gonna add the bumper winch. i would highly recomend the shock upgade too.

 

@ countryboylife, please define "too expensive" cause you might as well do it right the way you want it from the getgo rather than wishin you had done something different later, even if you have to wait a little longer to get up the funds. just my .02

 

Well right now i have $700 to spend so anything above that and @houston-76. Thanks. If i dont change my mind thats probably what I'll go with

 

But this will take your ride to a whole new level, nice ! http://store.sdhqoffroad.com/9604tacomasuspnesionsystemstage2.aspx

 

Plus as a tw member if you call the order in you will get a discount

 

I figured out what im goin to be gettin and it'll end up bein a total of 6" of lift.. What other mods will i have to do to make that work? Such as extendin the brake lines and all.
