    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    ditto....i'm guessing a 6" lift b/c of the 36s, but only wants to run 30s?

    Lift can handle 36?
    You want 30?
    Stock 2nd Gen is already over 30.
    Truck will look stupid with a lift and 30" tires.

    This.^^^

    Tire size is the following...

    width in mm/ aspect ratio/ wheel diameter.

    So a 265/70/16 would be

    (((265*0.70)/25.4)*2)+16= 30.6 inch tall tire.

    The stock tire on a TRD off road tacoma is 265/70/16, which is a 30.6 inch tall tire.

    haha well you see if you put a turbo on the rocks then took a supercharger and stacked it and ran some stacks out the back then put stacks on the stacks then im pretty sure the rocks would be lighter but still am unsure..i think if you do the math 1+3+-9 = turbo then i would be right :confused::confused::confused:
