How many inches, what lift kit, what wheels/tires for my 3rd gen?

I need help with deciding on how much I should lift my 2017 DCSB OR 4x4 AT and what lift kit/wheels/tires I should use. I know I want a 2"-3" kit, I want 16"-18" wheels, 265-285 AT tire, and I don't want to have to do any extreme modification to my truck to prevent rubbing. No cutting unless it is very very minor.

$3000 budget but I am good at finding things on sale or waiting for a sale. Right now I am leaning towards a 2.5" Toytec or Icon lift kit, 17" black after market wheels, and 275 BFG KOA2's? Any input would be awesome.

 

Welcome!

There are a lot of options


Brace yourself

 

Sounds like you need to PM Marie from Headstrong. She can answer every one of your questions..welcome by the way!

 

You lost me at how many inches. I usually don't answer any questions that start with those 3 words.

Oh, and welcome aboard the train!

 

If you don't want to trim, stick with 265's

 

Deleted previous post, I'll leave it as welcome and good luck with your new set up!

 

265s. Keep the lift 2" or less. Lift alone won't increase the tire size you can run. Search function is Your friend

 

5100 all around 888 265/75/17 on pro wheels

 

FULL 2.5 KINGS, BAJA KITS UCA, DAKAR OME'S 16' STEALTH CUSTOM SERIES, GEOLANDER G015'S. DO IT .


















oh yeah, and probably like 6K.

 

oh yeah, CMC too

 

You forgot the tires, Kbro2's.... bro.

 

Welcome to the TW, the more you lift , the more problems,the more money. Have fun and enjoy.

 

There are so many option, and ways to get to a 3" lift. Spend a month searching TW and then make your decision. You'll most likely have to deal with the Needle Bearing issue, so search ECGS Bushing, and decide if you still want to lift it.

 

Yep Needle bearing replacement info here

Here's an idea.

Drive it till you find issues that need solving. Then buy the right parts to fix the issue.

Many build for what they 'think' they'll do. Few build to actually improve what they do.

With nothing more than a tire change these trucks are pretty capable right out of the box. At least give it a chance.

PS, you might consider that black wheels are on the cusp of being overplayed. All the chrome hating cool kids want them. They think they're being different, but they're just joining the lemmings. There are other quite nice options to consider.

PSS, if you are just building a mall queen, ignore all the above and proceed at will. Be sure to post finished photos in sepia parked in some clapped out industrial area.

PSSS. Just call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road. Tell her your goals, send her your money, and enjoy your parts. Much easier than all this thinking.

 

I will be getting a 2" Old Man Emu put on my Tacoma come Monday. BFG KO2s 27570r17 with pro comp 7005s and blacked the chrome bolts. Also got the ECGS bushing to be installed.

 

Hey Smitty, did you do that needle bearing fix? With 6112's giving you a total of maybe 2.5 inches, it isn't enough to cause problems right?

I haven't heard any unusual sounds....

 

6112 only give 2" max. Mine are at 1.5" and yes I had to do the fix. Mine failed immediately.

 

Fu*k...
