    Hey team,
    I'm looking for some input on suspension. I have a 2016 DC OR and I'm looking for a little lift, 4" max.
    I don't off road a ton, but do go camping in some hard to get areas. I have the extended warranty on it and I know Toyota will argue that it will void it if I have an aftermarket one in. I have looked at the TRD Pro package and i am on the fence about it. The kit is hard to track down in Canada and is more expensive from what I can tell.
    Anyways any input is good,
    Thanks!

    Stock at the moment. Boss Suspension ordered
    I went with the Toytec Boss Suspension on my 2017 Tacoma DCSB. Loving it so far. However, my suggestion is to figure out what your intentions are before you proceed further. For example, I know mine is a daily driver and will be 95%, if not more, city driving. That said, this kit is more than enough for my needs
    The boss suspension I believe give max 3" and I opted for the 1" body lift so that would be 4" correct? Although, I still need to install the body lift. Our 3rd gen if I'm not mistaken also already comes with 1" lift in front so that helps a lot.
    Here's mine:

    Trd pro kit is overpriced for what it is.

    If you on a budget check out the bilstein 6112/5160 combo. Lower icon stages are decent bang for the buck as well.

    If you want the best get Kings or Fox 2.5s

    If you don't offroad and don't care about ride quality, get some cheap spacer lift kit.

    P.S. 4" of lift is going to cause and cost you a lot of headaches. I would keep it to 2" or less. See my sig below for several links that will assist you in answering these questions.

    Thanks guys I will definitely look into your suggestions. Mine is my daily driver with a handful of camping trips in the summer and maybe 2 or 3 winter trips to the cabin.

    Have any of you experienced any push back from Toyota on warranty with aftermarket suspension installed?
