    Small lift.
    I have a 99 Tacoma and I bought the tires too big (33's) so they rub when I'm turning over a speedbump or if I have a heavy passenger. Only when im turning. I can either go back down to 32's or get a lift. I called a lift place and they said 759$ front end strut lift (710$ for a spacer lift). I know its cheaper to do on my own but I don't want to. Would my truck look dumb with just a 2 inch front lift? Can my truck handle it? would I need more mods? Should I just get 32's? Basically any opinion would be helpful. I don't do alot of offroading but i do some so its not super important to lift it for that. Thanks. Pics attached.

    It's fine without the lift just do your trimming accordingly unless you want the lift then go for it but don't do 2 inches in the front dear god you won't be able to see over the hood and it will be bro'd out and you'll hate it do a lvl lift or no more than an inch higher in the front compared to the rear

    I'll give you $5 for it, you can keep your tires and get a new truck to fit them.
