3 inch lift Tacoma 2017

Hi, I kniw this issue has been best to death, but please hear me out. I ourchase a Taco 2017 on May and I want to install a 3 inch lift on myvtruck. I'm a rookie and this is my first truck. Muvtruck is a pavement pounder no off road sorry. So if I go to an auto shop tomorrow what should I specifically be looking for for the best 3 inch lift kit under 600 bucks based on what I just yold you. Bear with me please , tell me what brand and name parts I should get so I know what to tell the shop rep. Pmease keep it simple stupid. I need advise ,,,,thanks

 

since you do not offroad, you will probably want to get a level kit thats what I have on my 16 taco. I paid around $500 for parts and install at my local dealership

 

This isn't really a thing, and it's not that simple. You are not going to get instant gratification. Go read some of the stickied basic suspension threads and do some homework.
If you really don't give a shit about the details, just buy the cheapest POS spacer and block kit you can find online and enjoy the shitty ride.

 

I want to raise it up 3 inches. I already installed 33 tires with 20 inch wheels with a leveling kit. But I want to raise it up 3 inches.

 

1st step, don't go into said auto shop without knowing exactly what you "need", followed closely by what you "want".

If you don't have any clue at this point, starting here is fine, but might want to preface your query with more details.
Do you care about the ride quality of the lift, the reliability of the lift, cost of the lift, maintenance of the lift, etc.... of any of the lifts available for a 2017 Taco.

Wanting a lift just for the sake of a lift for a mall crawler/pavement pounder could net you a very wide range of suggested lifts.

Narrow down some of the variables and you will be better set to tackle this venture.

I hear you 600 bucks is kind of stingy but that's my budget at the present time. Maybe I should wait. I love the look of the lifted truck and I do want a steady and smooth ride and not having to deal with performance issues with the lift kit down the line. I told you before I was a rookie at this maybe 600 will not cover my lift kit expectations. That's precisely why I seek assistance from you guys.

 

Wow great weblink info thanks brother !

 

My truck needs a lift , I think

 

Cash flow issues. Not uncommon. People string out the term to 72 months (or more), which means a monthly payment of $500-600. For some, that's a large chunk of their monthly cash inflow. I know home builders constructing $1M homes, but can't float $10k.

 

Nice truck.
Would be even nicer if done proper.

 

You can’t stack lifts and it looks like you have a 3” lift already?

 

What is that floating thing out in front of the bumper for? What does it do?

 

That is a damage multiplier for the grill and bumper valance.

 

How is it even attached? It looks like it is just floating there.

 

It uses magnetism/polarity magic.

 

Bro is just for the looks , no purpose but I don't mind it since I don't do any off road , just being honest , just looks , lol

 

Everyone's got their own priorities. Can't knock anyone for favoring one way over the other. But I agree with you--I know I've learned over the years, "buy once, cry once" has rang true more often than not.

 

i've got a bro bar on mine too, thankfully doesnt look like it hangs out as much as yours

 

Bilstein 5100s and search for ECGS bushing.
