Can I lift my 2wd 5lug 2000 Tacoma SR5?

Hello, just looking for some input about my tacoma. I drive a 2000 tacoma SR5 and it is 2wd with 5lug wheels. Recently went to an offroading shop looking for a lift kit. Originally, I wanted 6-9 inch lift for my tacoma. They told me because I don't have 4wd and 6lug wheels, the highest lift I can get is maybe 2.5-3 inches at most. Looking for some input on if that is accurate/should I go to a different shop? And if that is my only option, is it even worth it to buy that lift? Will it make much of a difference, or should I just save my money and leave it how it is?

If you have reference pictures for recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it as well.

Thank you!

 

What they said is correct, unless you are looking to go custom.
If you want a truck with 6-9 inches of lift, the best thing to do is sell it and purchase one with 6 lugs and 4wd.
That's a well kept 2WD so I imagine you can get a good amount for it.

 

That’s a good looking truck, I’d do some real suspension upgrades and maybe even lower it a little and make it drive great, a 6-9” lift is going to look stupid and drive like ass

 

I appreciate the input. I'll probably just hold onto this one and leave it as is and then maybe buy a 4wd down the road to lift.

 

Save your money and leave it how it is.

Anyways, 3" lift spindles and a 3" body lift is about all you are going to get.
You could stack them. But I don't recommend it.

 

That is such a nice truck........color and everything is perfect...
If it was a manual......I'd asked her to marry me...


cant imagine someone making it look like a cockroach....
