2018 Tacoma TRD OffRoad Lift Options?

[rp8]

1. Like to get 3” lift front, 1 or 2” lift rear
2. Upgrade to bigger tires but keep existing 16” wheels
3. Keep existing shocks etc

What would you recommend?

Thanks

Update: based on suggestions

1. Don’t use spacers
2. Use Bilstein adjustable shocks like 5100 for front, but only 2” lift
3. Use AAL for rear

Question on Bilstein 5100 shock. Does it work with TRD Off-road stock springs?

Congrats on the off-road I like the color. Welcome to the forum.
Revtek Pro 40013 will give you that but will make the ride stiff. You could go 265/75/16 with stock wheels. You will need 1.25” wheel spacers to run any wider. With 1.25” wheel spacers you could do 285/75/16 tires. I had this set up on my off-road but I did MB TKO wheels at -6 offset. I don’t recommend wheel spacers and the revtek Pro is a in coil spacer which is not recommended by most.

Low Range Offroad has a 3” / 2” kit for $240. Would love to hear from anyone who had it installed about any pros and cons. Thanks

For ~$475, you can get Bilstein 5100's with OME springs for the front and an add-a-leaf for the rear from Low Range offroad....

Wouldn’t it replace my existing shocks? Mine has Bilstein shocks from factory.

Please, don't put that on your new Taco...
The only thing that that will do it ruin your ride and allow you to fit 285/75 tires.

Thanks! I checked that it’s up to 2” lift.

2" on 3rd gen is equivalent to 3" on 2nd gen...... different weight, same frame & suspension since '05. My suspension is a 2" lift. It's perfect.

What’s the net lift before & after on your truck?

Center of hub to bottom of fender on front went from 20" to 22.5" then settled .5 after a few weeks.

The stock bilstein 4600’s aren’t anything to get to excited about. 5100’s are much better and adjustable.
