    Hello all, I recently just purchased my first Tacoma (19 TRD Sport DC) and can’t stand the way it looks stock—I really want a beefier look. I’ve been browsing through the forums regarding suspension mods and tire selection but I am still unsure on level vs lift.
    I do a significant amount of highway driving (400-500 mi per week) but am interested in taking the truck on trails over weekends and holidays. Is there a noticeable difference between (front leveling spacers / bilsteen 5100s and coil springs in front / lift all the way around ~3in or so)?


    Thanks in advance!

    Just go with the OME lift kit and be done with it. Do it right the first time. And stay away from spacer lifts.

    I went with a spacer lift and blew my front shocks. Then upgraded to the bulstiens 5100 and block lift. And now have the OME lift kit and wish I went that route from the beginning.

    I did the OME kit. Didnt have to peice anything together and see if x fits with y. Came as a single kit with just one purchase. Love it. Rides well on and off road. And a much beefier shock.

    What's your budget? Do you think your ride is to stiff now, too soft now? When you do 0lan offroad, what kind of of offroad? How much lift do you want and what size tire do you want? New wheels too?
