What’s the best 3inch or 3.5 inch lift for my Taco?

What’s a good 3/3.5 inch lift for my 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road? Need opinions.

 

I'd go suspension. Coilovers up front, upgraded leaf springs and rear shocks, and aftermarket UCAs.

What’s a good suspension lift? I’ve done research and I’m looking for something that’s going to have a good performance off road but nothing that’s extremely expensive.

 

Something that’s like basic but it’s good. You know what I mean?

 

Bilstein 6112/5160. Boom !

Headstrong Off-Road will be able to assist. But the Bilstein setup Greg mentioned is the go to here for what sounds like you need.

 

3.5 inch lift isn't gonna be good on your CV's

 

What do you mean?

 

How big of a lift would you recommend then?

 

If you quote them then they'll get a notification and maybe help you

 

Do you have 4wd or 2wd?

 

The best 3" lift if you want to stay inexpensive is a 2" lift.

 

An inexpensive 3.5” lift is the danger zone. That’s the max you can get out of a suspension lift. It’s hard on CV joints and ball joints and you’ll have no down travel. It will ride like shit.

Go for 2” suspension lift with quality coil overs or if you want to hack up your truck you can get a 4” drop bracket lift which I don’t recommend either.

 

OME HD rear and Eibach pro kit in the front

 

It’s 2WD. Got it because at the time I was using as my daily driver and never thought I’d need 4WD. Here lately I’ve been doing a lot of trailheads and riding through mud holes. Every now and then I get into a predicament of getting stuck. No I’m not going to trade my Tacoma for a 4WD one it’s my first and it’s got sentimental value to it.

 

is it good?

 

Is there anything I can do to fix the cv joints and ball joints if I do get the 3.5 inch lift? I mean I’m now looking into king suspensions or a suspension lift that has quality.

 

What issues are you having with the current ride height/clearance? That will dictate what the best route is for your needs as far as lift.

 

Not questioning your choice. Since you have 2wd you don’t have to worry about CVs like has been mentioned.

 

Well since it’s 2wd then Nevermind anything posted so far. You don’t have a front axle so no CVs. Get a set of coil overs, some upper UCAs in the front and a leaf pack or add a leaf for the back and call it a day.
