    What's up guys? I'm a new member, just got a job so I'm thinking about doing some serious mods to my truck. Its an 06 tacoma DC w/ magnaflow 500's.

    I've had the truck for over a year and have done absolutely nothing but change the oil frequently. Reason I'm doing this now is because I'm going to stationed in Oklahoma for a while and I plan on doing alot of off-roading since I hear there's not much for a Texas boy to there. Haha

    I'm aiming for headers, intake and new suspension. Any suggestions on a budget-friendly 3" lift kit?

    Welcome to TW from Eat Texas.

    Do a little searching around the site and you'll find tons of info on 3" lifts. Hint: Avoid spacers and blocks :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the welcome! But yeah, I don't plan on going too crayuz with the mods (because its not 4x4). I just want to be able to do some light off roading while minimizing my chances of getting stuck. I'm for sure b going to be doing too much mudding.
