Hello everybody, I just purchased a brand new 2012 Taco sport 4x4. I just wanted to ask a few questions about lifting it. I want to lift it 3 inches. What is the best lift kit for this model and how bad will my gas mileage be when I do this mod.

Thanks!

before anybody else gets to this, there a button towards the top that says search, type in some of your keywords like 2012 lift and see what else is there. a lot of talk about lifts already. good luck

I will tell you now if your going to go with a 3 inch lift you will need new upper control arms. light racing are the cheapest but still durable, then goes up.
