    What's up guys? I just bought my 2015 TRD Sport 4x4 yesterday. I am looking to put a suspension lift on my truck and I would like to run 33" tires without having to do any cutting or grinding.

    I am not looking to spend a lot of money because I do not do any major off-roading, really just want a good look on the truck and have a bit more ground clearance.

    Does anyone have a recommendation on a lift kit that is good but not expensive that will allow me to run the tires that I want?

    Thanks.

    OME suspension, wheelers has the best customer service and I highly recommend them.

    33 will still require cutting and grinding.

    X2

    If you want to go cheap get 5100s set to 1.75 on stock springs and 2" blocks...should be enough to run 285s at least but please don't complain about the ride

    No you can not run 285's with 5100s set at 1.75 plus it will ride terribly (i had a set for a few months, hated it). OME will ride the best, if you don't want to cut very much go with 887 coils and Dakar spring pack so you don't have any bro lean. OME will ride the best for a budget lift

    Leave it stock then.

    Step up to a better tire in a C or D load range for comfort, E range will be a harsher stiffer ride.

    If you must lift it for the look, since only tires give you actual ground clearance then lift the front 1-2 inches to level the truck out with some quality gas struts and maybe a lift spring.

    Quality is not cheap.

    Budget suspension equals budget ride comfort.

    That is only true for solid axles. With independent front suspension you can do a suspension lift (kings/OME, just not drop bracket) and gain true ground clearance.

    minimal in front and nothing in rear.

    Larger tires are the best way for ground clearance.
