Spacer lifts are not bad. I have a tuff country 4 in lift with uniball control arms. Now since you only want a 3 in lift your in luck. Don't listen to anyone on here, get bilstien 5100's!!! They're adjustable to 3 in and you could keep your oem coils I believe. Now for the rear you could buy upgraded leafs or just get blocks. It's all up to you and how much money you want to spend, but I swear to you, bilstien 5100's is perfect for you.
Actually I apologize the bilstien 5100 is not 3 in lift but 2.5 which is essentially almost the same thing. What I would do in your case is get the spacer lift, and say if you add a heavy bumper, get the bilstien 5100 so it could compensate for the sag. And bilstien 5100. Are also great struts to just have in general, they make the ride quality much better.
You have no idea what your talking about! Listen to no one on here? Really?How many trucks / suv's have you owned and for how many miles have you driven them?
Woah calm down buddy. No need for aggression, you know nothing about me nor do I of you. I'm speaking outta experience from my Tacoma since your so concerned. Now please **** off.
Hold on killer. We don't know each other. You guys don't know each other. You kinda left yourself open when you made the comment of not to listen to anyone on here when it comes to the 3" lift and to buy 5100's. I happen to know silverpataco and he does know what he's talking about.Woah calm down buddy. No need for aggression, you know nothing about me nor do I of you. I'm speaking outta experience from my Tacoma since your so concerned. Now please **** off.
Nah
Congrats no one gives a **** how many trucks you worked on. You seem to get butthurt easy. I gave my opinion on what type of lift he should get. I didn't know I had to be a ****ing mechanic to own a Tacoma? And how cute you got you butt buddy to come back you up. Must be real tuff behind that computer screen pussy. Now please stop the random aggression to prove your such a great mechanic and **** off.
To be honest I don't care what he knows. He doesn't need to be a loud mouth and wave Around how many trucks he's worked on, I simply just gave my input on 3 in lifts that's it. Yes I know the "don't listen to anyone on here" was outta hand but that's no excuse to act like a dick on here. Isn't this Fourm supposed to be welcoming and friendly?
But they are better when they're free. Unless your in Korea. Oh wait. Did I just say that out loud?Whoa!! **** face?!? I'm butt hurt that you guys aren't hugging it out, bitches... Just grab each other by the dicks and say you're sorry. No need to throw ****s around like they're free
As long as you have fun that's all that matters. How much off roading to you do? What kind of trails? If it's not real hard core it's up to what you want to spend. Look around and read reviews. Good luck and keep us posted.
I started with a spacer lift from rough country for 250$, after a year i upgraded to bilstein shocks and eibach coils for 750$. It was do-able both on and offroad with the spacer lift i went everywhere my buddys with better lifts went but the big diffrence was ride quality offroad, with the spacers your head was damn near going through the roof on every bump but with the new setup its so much more smooth and just feels overall like i have more control. Either way its like demo said its your truck and do what makes you happy but you cant go wrong with better struts
