    Hey guys, I've got a 2006 tundra that I'd like to replace the lift kit on. The previous owner installed a 2" tuff country lift kit that is rusting out and rattling. I'd like something that is more capable and don't know where to start. Looking for suggestions and maybe a list of everything I'd need, I definitely like the height it sits at right now. So another 1.5"-2" lift would be perfect. Thank you in advance for everyone's help!

    Lots of threads here on the subject of lifts. 2" of lift can be achieved using a variety of methods, at a variety of costs. When you say more capable, how much abuse are we talking? The average person will need very little capability out of the suspension beyond some occasional towing and very occasional off-road use. Any setup can accomplish this. If you are wanting another 2" (3.5 - 4" of lift) that's a whole different story. If you are wanting the truck to handle a Baja or rock crawling type scenario, that's a whole different story as well. A little more information would help shake out which direction your suspension is going and what equipment could be used. 2.5" of lift can cost as little as $100 for some spacers, or as much ( or more) as $2500 for external bypass coilovers and new control arms and diff drops and uniballs and blah blah blah. Lots of options in between. When you get over the 2.5 - 3" lift, you are going beyond what the factory suspension can accommodate, and things start getting more involved and more expensive.
