    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 what would best suit what I’m looking for
    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!

    Spacer lifts are generally terrible. At least that's the consensus in the 1st gen forum. I'd do a proper lift all the way around. Do you have a particular budget in mind? I lifted mine with an OME kit I picked up from Wheelers. Gave me about 3" of lift and a much more comfortable ride. I've heard the ride from spacer lifts can be pretty harsh.
