I was recently wheeling in Moab with a bunch of Tacoma guys. I was starting to think all the Colorado Tacomas looked like this: :D

if youre looking for a little lift and better shocks you could go with adjustable coilovers from king,saw,bilstein,donahoe,fabtech etc. Slap an extended shackle in the back and youre good.

also if your shocks are still in good shape you might wanna just get a coilspacer, however if you go with the adjustable coils remember that the more you crank em the more stress you put on balljoints tierods and cvs

i have installed both a budget boost and the tough country kit on the tundra. same front suspension just the frame rail is wider down the center.
anyway, the budget boost spacers had a decent ride if your shocks are good but the innder cv joints start seeping grease on the halfshaft (on 3 different trucks)
the tough country kit lifts her an honest 4.5" but doesnt increase wheel travel or ride quality at all,
recommend get the old man emu and be done with it
