Hi there, I just bought my first Toyota. Its a 2001 Tacoma Xtra cab, 4X4 TRD. And well I have a question. I want to put a small lift on like a 2.5 or 3" lift, and bigger tires. I looked into add a leaf and fron't coil spacer lifts. Are these good lifts? What the advantage of a rear shackle lift? And I am sure you get this quesiton alot, what size tires can I put on? But If anybody has any experience with a 3" lift on a Tacoma, what tire sizes are you running. Thanks, glad to be here

 

welcome to YT. hope you have lots of $$ because it's going to start disappearing pretty fast!

i don't have answers to your questions, but i know they've been covered before and probably would show up a lot in the results of a search. maybe someone else will be able to answer them for you here though.

 

Here is the lift I am looking at.

WOW thats great Info! This place is great! Thanks guys

 

In response to what you were looking at on Ebay...
2.5" is probably the max you want to go with the suspension lift - you'll cause some hefty stress on your CVs if you go up any further.
If you do want more height you can always go with a body lift or 4" or 6" kit.
The 4" and 6" lift kits are considerably more expensive (4 digits $$). Roger Brown is a good guy to get body lifts from.
