    Hey there guys...new to suspension so just looking for help...had her up on jacks for wheel/tire installation.

    I'm trying to figure out what lift would produce this kind of height...3", 4", 6"?? It looked super clean up there!

    These are 265/70/17
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I'm running the same tire with a 3in lift. I'm running the same wheels too but with 1.25 spacers so I had to do a little trimming in the fender well. I like the way it looks. Looking to upgrade tire size in the future.

    Looks like this would be at least a 4" lift then.

    If you wants Looks only with a stock ride, BDS or pro comp drop bracket lift. 4 or 6 inch

    If you want to have more suspension performance you're limited to 3 inches or so.

    Please read anyone of the lifted 2016 threads that already exist on here. Lots of example are out there as well in build threads.

    Also, if you just bought tires yesterday and want that height, you'll regret the tire size very soon after a lift that tall gets installed. (Should have went bigger feeling)

    Yeah the problem is there is A TON of info scattered in the lifted threads.
    Looking for performance as well.
    I stuck with that size tire due to stock height and rubbing issues. I wasn't ready to pull the trigger on suspension yet.
    I'll start looking into 3" lifts that will provide for a good daily ride too.
    Thank you for the reply :D

    That's full droop. So you would have to go DB lift to even get close.

    Like everyone said, there is a TON of info on this...but let me help you out: Google Tacoma with Bilstein 5100s with Eibach Springs or Old Man Emu. That should give you 2-3 inches of lift depending on the options you go with. Don't go with a drop bracket lift; it will cost you a ton of money, is super hard to remove if you need to in the future, and it won't function as well as the Bilsteins or OME. Also, just use an Add a Leaf in the rear, as opposed to a block or swapping out the full leaf pack. You can do all this in your driveway, and if you stick with your stock UCA it won't cost you much more than $500. Your truck will look and perform great. Also, consider looking on the classifieds here, there is a Bilstein 5100 or Old Man Emu set going for sale everyone another week.

    Hope this helps, post pics when you're done.

    Although I agree, he won't get the lift he wants without going DB. no lift using stock control arms and axle angles will work since it's at full droop on a floor jack.
