Is my Tacoma lifted?

The dealer is incompetent. Take it somewhere else for a full inspection to see what else has been changed.

That dealer sold you a modified truck that may not be eligible for coverages anymore for certain Toyota warranties due to the modifications it has. The dealer should have disclosed this in your contract.

 

If those are Firestone's, better head straight to the tire store. My 2017 had Firestone destination tires. Destination the side of the road with a thumbtack and a flat tire

 

Assuming a Toyota dealer? Ditto on voided warranty concerns

 

The reality is 98 percent of all sales people aren’t going to know much of anything about a spacer, or any type of lift. There might be a few who will know there is some type of lift. Most dealerships the techs due a UCC (used car check) and the vehicle goes on the lot. Some dealers policy’s state any aftermarket lifts are to be removed and other just leave whatever. The techs or service advisor might let’s the sales manager or someone know but that info doesn’t always get passed on.

Most sales managers or sales people can care less about anything other than selling the truck and the other vehicles on the lot.

That can happen with any tire. Tires have been made the same way for a very long time. They aren’t magical. Sure you can get some with more plys that offer better protection a run flat with a stiff sidewall to get you to a safe spot to get a repair. However neither is standard on a Tacoma, and all are susceptible to damage and a flat.

 

ew spacer lift

 

Really ? Tires arent magical?
Have you ever had a set of these ?

 

He's full of shit, tires are absolutely magical.

 

Are those factory Leaf Spring Pads. They are a lot thicker than what's on my 2G. Some of those might help my squeaks go away. HMM

 

And I was thinking 97% of sales people dont know what they were talking about not 98% I don't know where he gets his stats from.

 

Do the 3rd gens have the same CV shaft & driveshaft issues 2nd Gens have if you go with 2 or more inches of lift?

(Not being sarcastic or alarmist..just thought the OP might want to know...)

 

I have a 3 - 1 lift and mine is level, yours looks like a 3 - 2 because the front is lower than the back.

 

No, I opted for the TRD off-road that comes a little better equip. Even though I think the OE Goodyear’s aren’t much better, I swapped them out with tires that we make in our plant. Either way I’m not going to bitch about a tire just because I hit some debris on or off-road.


And now thinking about it, I guess some tires are magical. The ones I make at least.

 

Yeah you got a spacer lift there. 3 inches in the front, 2 in the back.

If you like the height keep it as is- shouldn't give you any problems for on road daily driving. Put some nice meaty tires on it to have the wheels fill out the truck better.

 

Yet you bitch about me bithching about tire . I made the comment to the OP. Not to you

 

Sorry for this off post but In assuming the OP question has been answered.

Would it be a bad thing to post photos and have you guys tell me what lift is on mine?

 

Some tires are just straight up shit.

 

I think it would fall under the same title anyway. Post up your pics bud!

 

I commented because the comment came from left field. OP never asked nor stated anything about his tires. Dude just wanted help finding out if there was a lift on his truck and possibly what it was. Your over here bitching about a flat tire because you, wait for it..... “hit” something. Anyways no doubt they aren’t the best tires on the market but their are people who are happy with them.


Either way it’s all irrelevant. Sorry for detailing the thread

 

measuring from the centre of your hub to your fender front and back will let you know how much lift you actually have.
stock is around 21 inches front and 22 back

 

Its lifted for sure.
