    Hey guys I’m new to TW and I have a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-road Cement. I have looked at many threads regarding the Eibach lift options but I don’t feel like I know for sure what will be best for my truck and the parts I need for a complete package. Basically I’m looking for advice on a complete 2-3” lift kit, spacers, diff drop, leaf springs, UCAs, etc...
    I want a solid lift and need to know everything I will need for quality on and off road.
    Also with 2-3” lift can I fit, should I get 265 or 285s?

    thanks for the help!

    Lots of threads on this topic. You have to use google and type "tacomaworld" after key words. The search feature on this forum is a hit and miss for me.

    Bilstein 5100's are the way to go, preferably with springs if you have the money for it.

    Here you go: https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p401/Coil/Bilstein_5100_Kit_(HS16BK-1).html

    To fit 33's you need to do a cmc which is a cab chop, usually pretty cheap depending on where you live.

    ...stuff
    Are you 2 or 4 wheel drive? Where do you live? Where do you plan on off-roading? What are your plans for additional weight? (Armor, skids, bumpers, winch, sliders) What is your budget? Does your MPG matter to you? Do you want to level the truck, or have rake? Do you have plans for stuff like bed racks and equipment, toppers?


    Too many questions to help you. Try searching, there are thousands of threads in here and about 56% are this exact question.

    also, welcome to TW

    How much do you want to spend?

    For 2-3 inches, most people on here seem to be running the OME kit or the Bilstein 5100's with 888 coils and a 3 leaf pack added to the back. With UCAs, you'll spend about $1700 for the kit, plus install and alignment. Good luck.

    I think kings or foxes are the best lifts. Buy those ones.
