    Stock for now. Looking at 6 inch with 33's.
    I have a 2013 Tacoma 4wd and want to do a 6 inch lift with possibly or close to 33 inch tires. I still want it to fit in my garage. Can anybody tell me the measurement of the TOTAL height from the ground to the top of the cab? Does anybody on here have the same arrangement? Will your's still fit in the garage? We get a lot of snow here and it's GREAT when you can hop in your truck and go to work in the morning without scraping a foot of snow off. Thanks...

    See Build Page
    Measure the height of your truck. Then add 6" for a 6" lift. Then measure the height of your tires (30" for example). If you put 33" tires on the truck will be 1/2 the difference in height taller. Thus, if the tire is 3" taller the truck will be 1.5" taller.

    So you might gain 7.5" in total height with my example. Do you have 7.5" between your roof and garage door? Make sure there's room for margin of error so you don't scrape shit.

    Iconic first post. Almost as classic as "will these tires fit?". Welcome to TW... :wave:

    If it won't fit just do a 3 inch lift. 6inch will need a drop bracket and have the same amount of clearence but it looks higher

    How tall is your garage? How tall is your truck now? The difference is how much space you have to work with.
