    Looking to buy a Tacoma next week and I cant decide whether to get it with the TRD Sport Package or install myself to save a couple k? I've done it before but this will be my first Toyota, always a GMC's Chevy's before this.

    What do you guys think?

    Install _____ yourself? Suspension? The sport package comes with a "sport tuned" suspension, but it's not a lift (assuming you're wanting to lift since you're posting in this thread).

    If the only reason you're getting a TRD package is for the suspension then just get an SR5 and install yourself. If you find other TRD options appealing then go with one of the packages.

    3 inches I think is a sensible height to lift to, im tempted to eventually do this to my truck, but my question, in your mind, what about spreading the wheels out 1 or 2 inches. Don't you have to counter the overall balance of your truck to keep from higher gas use? I think tacomas were meant to be hire, perfect toy trucks for us to play with and mod as much as we want.

    Just got my 3 inch revtek lift in the front and add a leaf in the back installed for 350. I was going to do it myself, but I literally have zero time. I haggled him down from 450, so I think I got a good deal. Lastly, please no bashing of my spacer lift in front I do minimal offloading and believed that this was the most bang for the buck. :)

    No one will do it in-house, some outsource it and it is NOT warranted by Toyota (unless you buy it new with it already installed and pay a fortune). I had Toyota (who sent it to a 3rd party shop) install my Icon shocks so I didn't void any part of the warranty other then the shocks not being covered now. My rear Icon shock just burst a seal on the trail and I was sent to the 3rd party shop for help. Aftermath is a .5in sag in the rear end now since I was decently weighted done with gear and had to drive back 10 miles with 0 pressure in the shock leaving the leafs to take all the punishment. I am hoping that adding the Icon AAL will help in the future with added bed weight.

    Anyone have any experience with this lift???

    Pretty sure it's just a spacer and block lift.

    What are the front Bilsteins set at? From the picture, it looks like the front is sitting higher than the rear. I am looking at that same kit, and I don't want my front end to sit high.

    That pic was the day of lift. One little problem...Big O put my spring seats upside down. Made the front about 1.5 inchs higher then it should be. Corrected it and heres how she sits now.

    Minor rubbing when I wheel. No rubbing on the street. Had to take off front mud flaps.
