BDS Suspension 2.5-inch Lift Kit for the Toyota Tacoma

BDS Suspension has been building components and kits for off-road use for the past 15 years. The company was initially created to respond to the perceived lack of enthusiast-oriented options in the off-road market, with those behind the initiative specifically looking to “set right” some of the problems that they had encountered with pricing, dealer networks and warranties. This lead to the development of policies like the “No Fine Print” warranty (also known as the “No BS Hardcore Lifetime Warranty”) that has helped customers feel comfortable with abusing BDS suspension gear out on the trail and not have to worry that the head office would later complain when it came time to make a product claim.

4 Wheel & Off-Road installed the 2-inch lift kit available for the Tacoma from BDS and found it easy to work with and smooth-riding on the pavement.

Toyota Tacoma owners can take advantage of the BDS Suspension philosophy towards customer service, as well as the seriously rough and rugged build quality of its products by installing the 2.5-inch lift kit that the brand offers for the compact truck.

Toyota Lift Kits: Do It Yourself or Professional Installation?

The question of whether you should take the do-it-yourself approach when installing a lift kit on your Toyota Tacoma or whether you should engage the services of an experienced professional is one that comes up often amongst pickup owners. For some people, it’s not even a debate – they would never, ever let anyone else lay a wrench to their truck. For the rest of us who might not consider ourselves mechanical geniuses, but who do have the basic skills required to get the job done, the question is a little more nuanced – and confusing.

Uh oh - What are you going to do with all of that?

Financially, at first glance it might seem like not having to pay a pro to work on your truck can save you substantial money. The reality is sometimes quite different.
