    I have an 09 Tacoma double cab and I plan to customize it. Already putting on grille guard and nerf bars. I would like to raise the truck a little bit for bigger tires and I am considering TRD's supercharger. I would like to hear from others about what is the best way to do this. I don't do much off road stuff, but I have some land and use the truck for hauling mulch, dirt, stone, and some towing. I am reasonably handy, but I don't have the space to work on big truck projects myself, so I will probably get someone to install the lift kit. I would think the dealer would install the supercharger if I decide to go that way. I will keep you posted on my progress and get some before and after pics.

    I need to park in garages a lot so I can't go higher than 6' 6". So I think a 3 or 4 inch lift would do it. I think 33" tires are enough. What kit do you think is best? What other mods to the steering and drive train are needed?

    I have the toytec 3" lift on my truck. Springs in the front and AAL's in the back. I also have 33"s on my truck. You shouldn't have to do much altering for the drive shaft and other things of that sort. I just added a 1" differential drop and that's about it. Didn't even need to extend the brake lines. If you do get 33"s, you will need to take off the front mud guards and do some trimming. Very easy to do though!;)
