    Does anyone have any information/opinions on tuff country's lift kits? I'm not sure if I would want to go with their cheaper lift or a toytec boss suspension with a body lift. Thanks for the help.

    BOSS suspension will more than likely be smoother from what I've read. Those who have them seem rather pleased.

    Here's @ToyTec Lifts 2016
    3" suspension lift + 1" body

    With the tuff country's kit being less than half the price of toytec's I wasn't sure if there was a noticeable difference for that price. Also, I know the SEMA set up has 35's on it while I'm looking to run 33's. Any opinion if 33's would look alright with a 4" lift?

    Most guys run 33" on a 3" lift. U can always go to Discount Tires and see what they look like.

    So the boss suspension with a 1" body lift is a 4" total lift? Hence the boss suspension would just be the 3" lift?

    No. Boss can be 3" suspension. Body lift is a different piece.

    Toyota's are awesome
    The suspension lift on the 16's is a 2 inch lift in the front. Not a 3 inch lift. This is because the 16's have the same suspension as the 05-15 aside from sitting 1 inch higher. So essentially its a 1 inch lift from the factory.

    :cheers:

    33's with the 3" lift from the boss suspension will fit without and trimming needed correct? Would anyone have any pictures of solely the boss suspsension without a body lift on 33's?

    From what I have read you're correct that 33 will fit with boss lift but you need wheel spacers with factory wheels or different wheels with the correct back spacing which i do not know

    This is my Toytec 2.5 Kit on my '16. I also have the TC UCA's. I have not installed the rear add-a-leaf yet as I had to get surgery on my ankle. I love the ride quality of the Toytec kit. I got roughly 2" of lift.

    Here are the wheels and tires I bought. Can anybody tell me what wheel spacing I will need for this to work? Also would I need aftermarket upper control arms for the boss 3" suspension?
