3" lift or more?

I am going to lift the Tacoma and put rims and tires on it Chorme (White Truck) I was wondering I am a older family man, 2kids dont want it to be to high but i am seeing photos and like the lift but not sure if i should get a 3" lift or more. and what ever lift you suggest what size rims and tires should i get that would fit properly? Can I do 20" rims 18", 17"? and what size tire and tread

Remember I dont off road much But I pull different Boats 19 to 26 or more foot. Just a couple miles so no problem there but i am worried about not having the locking rear end on the ramp. Thanks

 

I am trying to post a pic of a Lifted Taco. Wanted to know what you think the amount of lift this is.

 

Looks like 3"

 

i think the stock wheels look good on 3" lifted trucks

For what you described, this lift would fit you well. Adjustable from 1.5"-3" so if you set it to 1.5" and want more you can adjust it. And vise versa. Look into some new UCAs if you want full 3" and a either a 3-leaf progressive leaf pack (Wheeler's) or a full replacement pack for the rear (Dakars). I can't recommend more than 3"; too much money, lose clearance due to having to cut the cross member and replace it with the drop bracket. You could to a 3", wheels and tires, and a locker (if you're that concerned) for about the cost of a 6" lift. (Disclaimer: My guess-tamation does not include shipping costs, installation, and does not reflect personal preferences, look, style, etc.)

 

Yup 3" lift it is great. And advise on stock wheels your right they do look just fine. Thanks Again
