    How's everyone's turning radius after doing a 2-3" lift?
    Does it affect it negatively compared to factory? If so by how much?

    I didn't notice any difference at all after I installed my lift.

    Yep, it'll be the same. Only reason it wouldn't be is if you put on bigger tires and you don't trim, and it rubs at full lock.

    I'll have bigger tires, but not sure if they'll rub. since it depends on offset.
    But as long as its not completely compromised I think I'll be ok.
    My current car is lowered and in doing so plus wider tires I cant turn worth a shit.

    It'll be nothing like that! Plus with a truck if you can't make the turn, sometimes you can just drive over whatever's in your way :rofl:

    thats the turn I have to do. Sometimes where the red SUV was beside it is also a rubicon jeep and porsche cayenne so cant always go that wide.

    I already have the plan of where I have a hard time to park my car because of the curb to just go right up on it haha. As of right now the curb is higher than my front lip. But as long I can still make that turn its all good.

    I've seen the odd truck or two in the back so I think it should be fine. My girlfriend claims when her parents where still together her father used to park tow trucks and 1 tons back there no problem and came from the south end of the street as well like I do since it makes it easier to back into her spot at that angle.

    So I can't see why a Taco wont fit.
    One of her neighbors on the other side of the street have a 2nd gen with a lift but he has a driveway. I'm almost thinking ask him to try it see how bad it is haha. I can't see it being that different from a 2nd gen to 3rd gen. Besides I did see a dodge sprinter 3500 back there once so I dunno.

    If not now that I think of it the turn from the north of the lane is easy its rather wide and no problem at all. and since I'll have the higher truck I can just pull onto the curb to back in easier. Right now can't do it so ya lol.
    fuck do I ever hate downtown toronto. My girlfriend loves it and every time I have to park I'm cursing.
