    i am looking to lift my 2015 Tacoma Prerunner 4 cylinder. I have been doing some reading and am lost. I read I should go with a suspension lift. But what should I go with. I don't want a cheap lift. I don't mind spending the extra cash for what I want. Can someone help direct me?

    What kind of budget are we working with realistically? Are you wanting a more high performance setup, or a basic lift to provide tire clearance?

    It is more for the look. It's not 4x4 so I won't be off-roading. I have a quote from someone where I live for Pro Comp Suspension 65205K. He said about $450. If their is a better option I would rather go with that. I can do up to $1000.

    Is that installed? I hope so because I can find the Pro comp Suspension(Spacer) Lift 65205k for under 300 online with a quick google search. If it is installed I guess $150+ isn't that bad if you cant do it yourself. I would install it myself and save the extra money though. Then again I would go with a real suspension lift and not a spacer lift. I don't know enough about 2nd gens to direct you to other options though.

    Yes the price he gave me included install. What is a real suspension lift? I am new to all of this and I want to do the best thing I can.

    To me a real suspension lift is new springs and shocks. The lift you listed adds in spacers above the front shocks and on the rear leafs to achieve the lift. Plenty of people run spacer lifts and they do the job of raising the truck and providing more clearance/space for larger tires.

    This is what I went with. I have no regrets at all!

    You also have the option of Maxtrac spindles. They are great for prerunners, but may provide more lift than you want. They also push your wheels out some.

    If I were you, I would not go with the spacer and spend the extra $$ on Bilstein 5100's front and rear paired with some OME coils and possibly an AAL in the rear.

    @YotaDan or @HeadStrong Off-Road will definitely be able to take care of this for you!

    Lift spindles are they best bang for the buck on a PreRunner. FWIW

    In order to do a proper lift you will need to expand your budget considerably. You can go cheap but I wouldn't if I were you. Start with a spindle lift and go from there. If the funds are not available wait until they are before proceeding.
