Lift and tire suggestions

I have just purchased a 2013 Tacoma TRD sport 4x4.

I want to add a lift and add some aggressive looking tires.

Any suggestions on type of lift. I would like to go 3 or 4 inches.

I was thinking a 32 or 33 with 18 inch rims. Any thoughts?

 

18" WHEELS (noy 'rims') are generally associated with street trucks and low profile street tires, but there are some 18" All Terrain tires.
the popular 265/75R16 is 31.5 " tall and with an 16x8 wheel works with no trimming or cutting on a second gen Tacoma (like yours) with 2" lift or more. This is what I am running and with Icon extended travel coilovers up front and Icon extended travel shocks in back with Icon additional leaf pack.

For a 33" tire there are two ways to go; the most common is a 285/75R16 with 16" wheels, or 285/70R17 with 17" wheels. This will require you to trim some off your fender flares and do a cab mount chop to prevent tire rubbing when turning tight and the wheel tucks up on tough trails.

The other 33" tire size is the "tall & skinny" 255/85R16 fitment. These work extremely well everywhere but bottomless sand, and will require less body work.

Read a few threads in the Tire section and see what YOU think.

 

I'm running 275/70/17 BFG All terrains with Icon extended coil overs up front and Icon 2.0 remote reservoirs in the rear with All-Pro leafs. I already had my mud flaps removed prior to my lift but I had to remove the front flap forward of the front tires. Just a couple bolts, easy stuff.

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

Since your 4x4 highest you can go is 3'' up front (unless you go drop bracket lift) which will require ucs (upper control arms) and you could always keep your stock wheels with spacers and run a set of 285 or 265 70 17's with some meaty tread. Thats what I did with my 13'...just a thought..

 

Thanks for the input.
