    Hi Everybody,

    Need some advice, I currently drive a 2011 Tacoma Sport 4x4 long bed with a 2.5” lift ( Biltein 6112 in the front, 5100 in the rear), 265/75/16 Wrangler Duratrac All Terrain Tires along with Total Chaos UCA.

    There is a possibilty that I might want to upgrade to 285/75/16s Duratrac tires with a 3” lift in the future. My question is what suspenion lift brand would you recommend that will best fit my needs and allow the 33” tires fit the best with very minimal to no rubbing.

    Im not a rock crawler mainly do lots of overlanding which sometimes takes me through some very technical terrain. I need a suspension set up that is functional on and off road (Mall Crawlers need not apply, no offens)

    Ps: if you can post pictures of your Tacoma with 33s and a 3” lift that would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    What you have now will work fine. You will probably have to trim some plastic fender liner and maybe do a cab mount chop for the larger tires.

    On the right wheels they should be no problem.

    I have the All Pro LOLA Kit which I absolutely love. Honestly, stick with the smaller tires. There is nobody who wont have rubbing issues at full flex with 33s without significant wheel well modifications. I have BFG KO2s 275 75 r16 and they perform very admirably. If you still "need" 33s the LOLA kit is very nice. I got mine with the normal duty leaf springs but get the heavy duty ones, I sag like a mofo with a loaded camper shell and plate bumper. Best of luck
