New Tacoma Owner looking for lift/tire/rim advice

Hey guys I have recently bought a new 2015 Toyota Tacoma 6 speed TRD pro. I am looking to put on bigger off road tires. A buddy of mine recommended Nitto tires but I have no idea if they are good or not. I am looking for advice on what size tire to get as well as the rim size and lift sized that is needed. I do not have any knowledge on lifting a truck because I just switched over to the truck world.

 

Beautiful Truck!!!

Not quite sure its an actual "Pro" tbh

 

Welcome to TW! The picture is a TRD Sport and you came to the right place for the advice you need.

 

Hello Welcome to TW.

Hey sorry yes it is a TRD Sport. And thank you all for the quick reply's I will take a look at those forms now!

 

Nice TRD Sport! Welcome to TW!

 

There's a lot of ways to lift your truck!
But all depends on your budget. How much were you looking to spend for everything ?(wheels and lift)
And how much lift would you like ?

 

I was looking to spend around 3,000 in total. I dont want to go the cheap route either I rather get it done the right way the first time. I wanna give the truck some height and make it look a little tougher. I don't do deep off-roading.

 

SCS WHEELS (but hop in line)

 

For $3000 you can get 6112 bilsteins. Fox king icon coilovers non resi and not ext travel so you don't have to get upper control arms. Give you about 2-2.5 in lift in front. An add a leaf in the rear to give you 1.5-2in lift in the rear and you can throw on some nice rims with a 285 tires
For tires I would recommend a bfg ko2 great tire on and off road
And for rims just make sure sure they're the correct back spacing

 

awesome thank you so much I will take a look into it!

 

Really consider what you're going to do with the truck. I spent the money on the nice icon set up.... definitely didn't need it! But for a frequent wheeler I could see the value in it!!

 

Clean looking truck!

What are you looking for in a tire?

 

I am looking at Nitto Trail 33x12.50 I was looking at a tuff country lift or a BDS lift. I went to a shop by my house to talk to them and they recommended a 6 inch BDS lift kit any suggestions, I only go on the beach with my truck

 

Drop bracket lifts destroy you frame cross member. That is a turnoff for many. Although not as many as I would expect. I would go with a pair of quality adjustable coilovers, and a new leaf pack in the rear. There are several good manufacturers out there.

If you are 2wd, Maxtrac makes nice spindles good for 4" of lift and retention of stock geometry.

 

Congrats , Welcome to TW, Clean TRD Sport you have there.

 

its a 4wd 6 speed manual

 

thank you

 

Congrats on the new'ish 2nd gen

 

Awesome choice. Welcome to TW!
