    Would my truck look better with the 2.75 lift or NO lift?

    would it look okay JUST with the 2.75 inch spacer in front?

    -Im thinking the tires will look small on the fat bobs or readylift kit.

    I will not be doing any serious off roading

    Vote in the poll what you think!

    If anyone wants to do a photoshop feel free

    I would lift it but be careful I put a ready lift front spacer in the front of mine and because of the age of the rear it was lower by 2 inches. So now I have a aal inbound. I really thought i would be ok with the front a little height but it did start to rustle my jimmies.

    Gone over the Top for a 5-lug..
    Out of all the mods available for the 5-lug, i would consider a full spacer/AAL kit with quality aftermarket shocks/struts as being the first major change that should be done to improve the overall versatility of our variant. Best bang for the buck, as far as effective upgrades to the stock Corolla-spec suspension. Yes, the wheels are likely going to look slightly small.. but that can be easily fixed via kijiji/craigslist, given some time.

    My tires are 225/75R16's.. they measure out at 29.3" diameter. Appearance wise, they are on the small side. I'm all about function over appearance (at least for now, as far as the wallet is concerned) but age and mileage will take care of that "upgrade" soon enough. In the interim, this rubber works fine, appearances aside.

    I say if you lift it do it right and install the AALs. I'm not a fan of the "bro-lean". I also think the 30s will look good if you lift it, but I'm sure you could find someone here to buy them if you decide to go bigger.
