    Just my personal opinion but anytime you have to do a diff drop, you’re moving the wrong direction.

    Theyre definitely lifted and not running stock suspension. They’re just not lifted to the moon with rubber bands for tires.

    Those stretched tires are too skinny.

    After careful deliberation and reading countless forum posts, I decided on 2" for a daily driver... for what its worth.

    I ended up going around 2" with mine. It gets a good amount of commuting miles on it, makes several long trips a year hauling the snowmobile or quad in the bed, and needs to be able to tow my boat so I kept it conservative. Keep in mind that in the front (unless you spend a lot more money) every inch you go up is one inch less down travel you have and that loss of down travel can make for some weird characteristics on the road.

    I understand that anything over a 2" lift voids the factory warranty.

    To me, 3-4" is pretty big.
    Anything over that is like super purpose-built use case.
    2" is perfect.

    The only factory authorized lift is the Toyota TRD lift kit installed by an authorized dealer. Anything else, no matter what size lift, has the risk of having warranty implications. However, lifting your truck will not "void your warranty". Most likely, a dealer would refuse to cover any suspension-related warranty claims and anything else they deem was caused by the aftermarket lift. They won't refuse to fix your air conditioner because your truck is lifted. In the end it comes down to your relationship with your dealer's service dept. and how big of an asshole they want to be.

    Lifts and any other mods are pay to play. If you do the mod you assume the warranty risk.
