thinking about lift kits for a toyota tacoma? been there! got a 4x4 one year ago, and it’s changed the game. went with 6 inch maxtrax lift. looks great & handles rough roads decently. but did i mention how it helped with the camping gear? i mean, easier to get those big items in the bed. friends told me about 8 inch kits, but i’m not sure if it’s necessary. it depends on your style of driving tho.
wondering which lift kit you should go for? depends on how you want to use your tacoma. i mean, amp up the style or keep it practical? ask your buddies for their opinions, too. just remember, it’s all about what feels right for you.
I ve been droppin’ my Tacoma in Northern California for off-road trips, and the Old Man Emu kit is legit. Lifts smoothness, handling are solid, lets me tackle the gnarly trails without a fuss. Got my truck up 6 inches, perfect for clearance and that whole elevated vibe. Tahoe and Rocky Mtns, rollin’ fresh!
I’ve been living in Montana for years and swear by the 6-inch Pro Comp lift kit on my 2015 Tacoma. It’s the winning combo for rough trails in these parts. Plus, it makes my truck look wicked badass! Absolutely worth the dough!
I’ve got a 2016 Tacoma in Denver, and the Rough Country 3.5” lift kit is a beast. Took it through rocky trails, and it handles like a champ. Clearances and ride height—top-tier. Some folks say it’s a little bumpy, but I’d rather go off-road than on smooth streets! It’s the best bang for the buck, hands down.
I’ve got a lift on my Tacoma in Denver—BIG difference for those icy roads! Nella Prowler worked wonders. Dropped my truck close to 6 inches, super sturdy. Best part? Man, it handles like a dream in the mountains. You’ll love it!
I’ve driven my Tacoma up and down the Rockies in Canada, and the Old Man Emu kit was a game changer! Lifted enough to handle rough trails, but keeps my ride smooth. Plus, the top-of-the-line springs meant no sag—super dependable. Heard a bunch say ARB performs well, but I’ve stayed loyal to Old Man Emu. My truck handles like a boss both in town and off-road, no scratch! Everyone’s gotta find what fits their style best, ya know?
In Colorado, I’ve tried a few lift kits for my Tacoma. The ARB shoprated combo is god-tier. Reliable, feels natural on trails. Worth every penny if you dig offroading. Love how it handles rough roads with confidence. Highly recommend!
I’ve been rockin’ a 6-inch Pro Comp kit on my Tacoma in Colorado. Elevates it just right for off-roading and parkin’ without any snags. Best bang for your buck in my book!
I’ve got a friend in Alberta, Canada, who swears by the Rough Country lift kit for his Tacoma. Got mine too, and it’s transformed on him off-roading! Never seen him say “oops” more. Keeps topping secret trails without worry. Heard plenty of folks raving about it, too. It’s sleek, steady, and doesn’t mess with your ride’s vibe. So many good reviews make it tough to say no.
I’ve got a Tacoma myself, yeah? Been cruising 'round northern California with it lifted. Personal fave’s Air Lift Performance, especially good at handling rugged trails. A mate of mine went with Baja Designs, great choice too. They both bump up my ride well without breakage on the daily. Personal experience tells me go for durability and style, ya know? Just make sure it fits your cruising style—smooth or offroad.
I’ve been rippin’ mountains in Colorado with my Tacoma, ‘n upgraded with a Lift Kits’ ProRide. Lifted 4" but still handles mad smooth—it complements the trails without robbin’ off comfort or drivability. Big shout out to your research, man! Californians have got different terrains but same bloody vibes greatly, I reckon.
In Kalifornia, I’ve found the OME 2.5” lift kit rocks for my Tacoma—it gave the perfect stance and smooth drive. Not even worth goin’ higher w/ my off-roading trips, you know how it is 
.
Live in Cali due to my '08 Tacoma, thought an Icon4WD lift kit was perfect. Took my truck off-roading out west; it held up strong. Smooth ride, plus good height. Tried some cheap ones before and my truck felt unstable. Icon4WD is the bomb if ur in the market.
In Dover, DE, I’ve been messing around with my Tacoma’s lift since I snagged it last year. Came across this King Shocks kit and decided to hit it up. Up and running on a 3-inch raise now, totally transformed ride. Smooth as butter on trails, gotta say. People go hunting for bigger kits, but for me, King nailed it — just right! No going back.
I lived in Montana for years, driving my Tacoma all over the Rockies. I’ve tried a few lift kits, but that Up Country 2.5" lift kit never disappointed. Sure, it helps with clearance, and the off-road performance was legit! If you’re thinking of beefing up your ride, this one’s solid!
I’ve got this Tacoma from Colorado, right? Been running a suspension system from Ironman off-road. Real stable and handles rough trails like a boss. Worth every dime and a damn sight better than that cheap Dawson kit. Rocked it hard last weekend!
I’ve got a 2017 Tacoma in Montana, went with Old Man Emu. Lifted solid, handles rough trails like a champ. Real game-changer for off-roading! A friend with the Lone Star off-road kit raves – great too for Texas trails. Never had a hop like this before, lol!
I’ve got a Tacoma from up in Seattle, been rockin’ the Total Chaos Lift Kit for ages. Totally solid on them mountain roads - never looked back! Makes my ride tough as nails every time.
I’ve been rockin’ my Tacoma in Boston with a Fast Gear lift kit—super stable on those rocky paths. Friends from Toronto swear by the WORX Kit, it’s a game changer. Both probs awesome choices for the climb!
