Hey guys! i have an access cab 2008 sr5 TRD sport 4x4. I really wana get it lifted, problem is i cant seem to find out how much I only want it slightly higher, like high enough to have the stock tires and rims still look cool while having it be a little higher up and more agressive looking. What is the best way to go about this? I dont go off roading at all, and only wana pay around $400-$600 on the whole thing. Thanks in advanced to anyone who replies

 

Any feedback on the best lift under $600 that will clear 285s on a dbcb 4x4? Assume I can install it myself and won't have to use budget on a shop. I have a 3" revtek lift on my truck now that looks great but is stiff.

 

Had my 5100's installed in the front only. Alignment and a diff drop. $603 total. Dependable Offroad in Anaheim. Probably a little high, but Steve seemed like a good guy.

Guys I'm looking for a different reason. My 05 long bed access cab is a work truck. Just put a commercial cap on it and with tools it is too close to bumb stops. I am not interested in a lift but would like to level/improve ride with a load. Local spring shop says AAL and re-arc for $400. Is this the way to go? What shocks should I use? Can i leave the front alone?

 

Fabtech 6" Performance Lift with Dirt Logic Coilover's/Rear Shocks - $2850

 

for that price you might as well get a new leaf pack, its around the same amount

 

you can just get a toytec 2" AAL install it yourself in about 2 hours for under$ 100
should give you the lift you need

 

Thanks for the input. I called toytec and they suggested Air Bags. Ive used them on my one ton and it works very well. I'll probably go with the bags and 5100's a little later on. It will work out to the same $'s as the spring shop idea if I install myself.
