    I've got stock lift right now and I wanna fit 33's or 31's. Can someone help me out on what's best to do and get cause I'm new to this I've had my truck for a few months. Again its a 2003 tacoma regular cab and this is mostly for looks.

    pretty sure lift has nothing to do with how big of tires you can fit.. On that note you should be able to fit 31's no prob. 33's will require a little trimming of the body/fender well wether you have lift or not. The thing about it is that the wheel has more down travel but it still has the same amount of up travel which means at full stuff you will rub unless you do a little bit of trimming.

    i agree it might look a bit silly w/ 33's on stock suspension.

    31's look silly with suspension cause they are so small lol.

    lol I have 31's on 3" lift and it looks somewhat silly IMO..

    i feel like 33's would look much better.

    I only went with a OME 2 inch, and at my age, that's a big enough step up into the truck.

    How much money are you looking to spend?

    How much of a lift (height) are you wanting?

    This has nothing to do with this tread, but that is the funniest signature I've every seen. I laughed for five minutes.
