    Hey guys i have a 2012 TRD Sport 4.0L 6-cyclinder and i am looking into putting a lift on it and some new rims/tires. Since i am still new to all this, what do you guys suggest i do to it? I want a suspension lift, new bigger tires, rims, and the tires to pop out a little bit too (spindles?). Anything helps thanks!

    Just my 2 cents, if it's your daily driver I wouldn't go too crazy with it. Maybe go with the bilstein 5100 shocks set at either .85 or 1.75 and then add a leaf in the back or a 1 inch block if you still want the factory rake look. And then go up an inch in tire size to 32s.

    The TRD wheels are pretty popular too

    Do you have a budget?

    You can go simple and cheap with a spacer or some bilstein's or you can spend some $$ for some King Coilovers!
