    I just ordered a 3" lift front and 2" rear level kit for my 2013 4wd. I'm not looking at going off roading or anything. Just wanted it to look sexy. I've ordered also some 1.25" wheel spacers for my 285/75r16 bfg's.

    So I've searched and I couldn't find my answer for the wheel lug spacing. I own a 2013 tacoma srs 4wd 4 door and there is 6x5.5 or 6x139.7. Is that just the front and back and I'm asking a stupid question or what. Couldn't find my answer on the search.

    So I called some places around tucson, where I'm stationed, just to see how much they would install the blocks and 3 inch lift. And they insisted on buying a differential drop from them or I would ruin my trucks CV joint. Are they just trying to get money from me or will I be alright. Again this truck will never see dirt. Just wanted are lift for looks.

    If I drive nice never take it off road and just keep it on the street and highway, is the stock suspension able to take the strain of the Lyft or will I eventually blow them out?

    I don’t think I would ignore the differential drop, changing the angle on drive shafts and u-joints can do some damage.
