3 inch lift on my 1996 tacoma 4x4

I'm having a hard time finding the best 3 inch lift for a my 96 taco 4x4 3.4. Any suggestions??

 

I got a complete OME lift from Wheelers offroad. It gets your right in that 3" ballpark.

 

@lowtaco94 what coils are you on?

 

882's

 

I can't find those im guessing they don't make them anymore

 

I assume you didnt look on this site ? They have them.

 

Tons of places.

OME, Bilstein, ADS, Fox, King, Icon, Toytec, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some...

Personally I wouldn't recommend over 2"

At 3", you'll most likely need aftermarket UCA's to achieve proper alignment.

At 2.5" already, you'll be tearing CV axle boots like no ones business.

Stick to 2" and achieve the remaining height with bigger tires.

Even then, I'd recommend high angle inner CV axle boots.

 

@lowtaco94 hahaha I don't know how I missed that thank you

 

@Kwikvette thank you do diff drops help at all?

 

Useless.

 

That's what I've heard thank you!

 

@lowtaco94 I can't find just the 882 coils by themselves?

 

Even if you did, I wouldn't recommend them.

881s are a better way to go for lift without added weight versus the 883s that are meant for weight up front.

Since you're insisting on looking at 882s (taller spring, but without the added weight carrying), I take it you still want to get a 3" lift?

Order some high angle CV axle boots while you're at it

 

So the spring rate on 882s vs 881s are the same right? And from what I've heard the 881s sag and end up only being an inch or an inch and a half? I don't nood to go too crazy on the height but an 1.5 seems underwhelming

 

Yes. That said, everyone can have a different experience. They don’t cost a fortune by any means so might as well see how it works for you.

 

Also should I go with 883s? I'm planning on saving up for a bumper right after my lift and I think the 88s would sag. Sgould I go with a completely different spring? I'm 14 and it takes me a couple months to save up this money so I do wanna mess it uo

 

I have the 882s with the ome dakar leaf pack and it sits damn near perfectly level.

 

@Logans2001 do you have a bumper? I want the 822s but if I want a bumper down the line I don't know what to get.

 

Unless you’re absolutely positive that you’ll be getting that bumper soon after the lift, then ya 883s make sense. If not get 882s

 

He won't tear his boots fast on a 3 IN lift, it is a 1996 with locking hubs.

Assuming yours isn't an SR5 with A.D.D, you can leave the hubs unlocked if you rarely use 4WD like me.
