What do I need to lift my truck?

Hello, new to tacoma world.

I just bought a 2017 sr5 2wd tacoma I have no idea what im doing lol. All I know is that I want to lift it 2" maybe 3" just in front and 1" in the rear depending if i lift 3" in front. I dont want to use a spacer. Whats a decent lift that I could get that is fair in price but good quality to where I can still go on some trails. Dont plan on crawling rocks.

As of right now I just purchased 265/70/16 goodyear kevlar tires. Going to run these until their done. I plan on getting 285/75/16 ko2 by the time these tires are near finished.

If somebody could give me advice or a link for where to purchase a lift or lift kit Id really appreciate it.

 

You don't need a lift at all. These trucks are pretty capable stock and the lack of 4WD will stop you long before you need another 2 inches of ground clearance.

28 of your closest buddies, 2 2"x10"x14' boards, a keg, and 14 xl pizzas and you can lift a tacoma anyware. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H8G9K2cQ2Q just kidding. In all seriousness welcome to tacomaworld, Do what you want with your truck, have fun and don't take us to serious.

 

you wont make it far with 2wd so I would just invest in some good tires over a couple inches of lift

You are, legit, my favorite TW member.

 

I have a 2019 SR5, same only 2wd & I did a 3" Level lift. I NEVER off-road, other than a dirt road here or there, & my truck is more a pavement queen or mall crawler lol! With that, I did the Rough Country 3" lift with strut spacers in the front, lift blocks in the rear, & upgraded the rear shocks with Rough Country lifted N3 shocks, for better travel. Only paid about $300 shipped!! Drives like STOCK & smooth as hell! I get a lot of compliments too! I eventually want to upgrade to larger tires also, 285/70-17. Running 265/65-17 now. Good LUCK with the build & welcome to TW!!!

Money, money, moneeeeyyyy

 

I have the exact same configuration, SR5 4x2.

Best lift for your buck is a spindle lift (since we're 2WD peeps).

Maxtrac offers a few different lift kit configurations. Marie should be able to steer you in the right direction!

6.5" Spindle Lift + 285/70R17

Maxtrac does offer 4" and maybe some smaller kits.
