    Well I have a little problem. I have a 2015 tacoma and I want to lift it but, I don't know what lift to get. There's to many out there to choose from. I want to lift it 3 inchs so I can put 285/70/17 tires on it. Anybody have any suggestions?

    What is the goal of the lift? Off roading or pavement princess?

    How's the ride? Is it stiff or smooth? Do your tires rub?

    285 70 17 will rub on a 3 inch lift. You'll have to cmc, remove front mudflaps and trim some plastic

    Not stiff at all. Way better than stock IMHO.

    They did on the pavement pulling into parking lots and driveways, but I just trimmed with a dremel. Wasn't bad at all. But, for the trail you will have to trim a bit more and likely get a cab mount chop done.
