We put a 3" toytec lift on my brother's tacoma. Hasn't had any problems yet, and he said they were great to deal with.

Does their 3" lift kit give an actual 3" of lift? Just curious. Some buds of mine where looking at getting that lift.

I'd like to see some before and after pics too.

What does everyone think if money isn't an issue would you do this lift with the coil in rear and new coil struts up front or coils rear and spacers front?

No, this is a cheapo lift (I don't mean that in a bad sense, just price-wise) just like the Revtek (which is worse IMHO since it uses nothing but spacers). You won't get anything up front but at least the rear has new coils. If money is no option then go with one of Steve's lifts because you'll get alot more out of those but they also cost more too.

the only thing that i wasnt happy with is that it dident come with new washers and nuts for the 6 strut bolts but a quick run to the hardware store fixed that. otherwise im happy with the kit.

I have been talking with the toytec guys about the 05+ taco stuff, they really seem to know their suspensions. Their prices are teriffic. I will be using them for sure when I get my new toy

Truck looks great!!
