    You would be best to stay around 3" or expect to really work on other geometry items the truck will need.

    I had a 3inch in my old Gmc and it had the front end parts stretched out to there max was the ordering if it would be the same on the new 2017 tacoma. I was looking into some 4 inch lifts with the drop spindles and the upgraded uni ball joints.

    Other things to look at would be sway, diff, and carrier bearing drops, UCA, and swapping out the front needle bearing with a ECGS bushing.

    3" and you will still need to chop the cab mount if you want full wheel travel with no rubing

    A lot of guys are using wheel offset and spacers so you don't have to cab mount chop.

    What size are your tires? Seems the guys running 285/75 are having rubbing issues where some trimming is needed.

    I would think using a spacer like Spidertrax would do it. Maybe some 285 guys will chime up.

    Wouldn't more offset cause you to rub the outsides of the wheel well tho?

    Looks great. Specs on lift / tires? also, is that a long bed? I am conflicted about going toolbox or not on my short bed.

    5100s all around set at 4th notch up front on stock coils. Headstrong progressive aal in the rear. Tires are 265 70 17 and yes it's a longbed.

    Jealous of your longbed. How'd you black out your emblems? Thinking of doing mine, chrome looks so out of a place on my white trd with so much black.

    Intended on dipping the badges, but the wife bought the overlays as a Christmas gift and was obligated to use them.
