    Hello friends! What size lift or suspension upgrade would I need for 285/70/16 tires? As you can probably tell I'm very new to not only the Tacoma world but also the general automotive mod world... I currently have 265/70/16. Appreciate any advice or experiences.

    RECOMMENDATION: Drive your truck the way Toyota intended, when you need new tires, lift it and get new tires.
    This is only my opinion, and the most cost effective way to enjoy your new truck.

    I've actually thought about that also! Thanks for the feedback.

    And if you get a 3inch lift you’ll need new UCAs

    As above said along with trimming some plastic and possible cmc depends on how you flex it.
