New Guy here. Simple lift question

Hey everyone. Fairly new Tacoma owner here. I own a 99 4x4 2.7L.

Everything was fine with my truck until I recently got some new bf g a/t and they are a little smaller than the goodyear wranglers that had come with the truck.

i miss the inch or 2 of height that i had with the old tires. and understand there is some cheap and easy ways to lift her back up in inch or 2. i understand there are probably a ton of threads like this. but since, i dont do a ton of wheelin'. yet anyway, just wanted to see what i ould find out.


good to be here. always wanted a tacoma and am siked to have a frum where i can learn.

you can get some longer shackles in the rear and some bj and/or coil spacers up front for an inch or two. i wouldnt go a whole lot more than that on everything else stock

what am i looking at for the cheapest way to do it? don't need much of a lift. it's just that once i left vip and even though the rep told me the height difference wouldn't be noticable, i keep looking at it and am noticing it seems just a little lower. so even a .5 inch lift would be nice.

cheapest way would be some blocks or longer shackles for the rear and some coil spacers up front. not the best performance though. are you looking to wheel it?

i live in maine and am looking forward to the snow. so that might be the extent of my wheelin. maybe 5 years ago or so i had a rodeo and banged that up pretty good wheelin so with this being my only vehicle, im gonna keep it on the road as much as possible, for now. im just looking for the cheapest way to get that inch or so back. what am i looking at for price? roughly of course.
