    Add a couple of spacers for more lift.

    That looks like a ball joint problem, ball joints dgaf what kind of lift you have.

    Also, it’s not hard to find a higher quality used lift on sites like Craigslist.
    I’m back to stock suspension with a spacer to lift while I get my kings rebuilt, which is a down side of stuff like Kings...

    What hasn't been modified?
    There not talked about often.. but look into profender shocks. You can get lift with out worrying about bending your shocks. There adjustable coilovers that will use the stock spring

    Welcome.

    You drive a 14 Tacoma in high school. Be thankful for what you have and do it right and do it once.

    How much is that rough country lift? $600? $800? You said you’re having it installed. What’s that cost? $200? $300? More??

    Save all of that for good shocks. Installing is easy, the front is like 10 easy bolts. The rear can be a bitch but it will build character and you will learn your truck. I’ve only let one other person work on my truck and that was because he was obviously a better welder and had a welder with enough juice to weld on the frame. It will only help you in the end.

    Buy once, cry once. Do it right, do it once. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

    You’re welcome.

    I believe that qualifies for extended mid long travel.
