97 Toyota Tacoma max lift?

So I have a 1997 Toyota Tacoma 2.7/3rz 4x4. And am curious how big of a lift can I go b4 I have to start extend everything. Better question what's max height b4 I have to extend anything?

 

This question has been answered hundreds of times, you can search to see all the different options you have.

The highest you can go without getting a drop bracket lift or solid axle swap is 3". There's a huge aftermarket for these trucks so you can go the cheap route, the expensive route, or anywhere between.

 

Here's my 96 with a 3 inch lift after everything settled. Plus some weight in the back so it's squatted a little.



You probably don't have fender flares so here's one without my flares on.

 

3in is the max you should go, but 2.5-2.75 is the sweet spot

Mine is at 3in front and 4.25 rear, but I'll be lowering it a bit to get it in the sweet spot soon






Sorry I enjoy a chance to picture whore

 

01 with fab tech 6" Susp 34" tires. Honestly after adding the 1in" block to level the truck out I wouldn't think I have much more room to go as the drive shaft is extended out pretty far.

 

He wanted to know how much without extending anything haha.

 

Yeah but a couple people answered me. 3" is max, now to decide if I lift it or not

 

Heck yeah lift it!

 

LIFT OR GTFO!!!

 

.....yes, you should lift it, but keep it at 3" or under

 

3" lift and 33s is the Tacomaworld standard. We expect nothing less

 

I've seen a 2nd gen thread about 35's on 3" with some hillbilly hacksaw fun. I wonder what would need cut on a first gen...

 

Inner fender needs to be tubbed and outer fender trimmed.

 

Sorry if I'm thread jacking. I'm just curious about things I can't afford to be the guinea pig with.

How wide of a tire was that with? And does that allow a full stuff?

At least we aren't cutting off our cab mounts...

 

Just do a quick google search. Tonnes of threads on the topic.

 

bad advice IMO... but you go right ahead.

Found it.

I can never figure out the search feature on TW. Google is so much more efficient.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm almost done with the 2.7 rebuild. This will be what she will look like b4 I can get a lift kit

 

That's my 97 with a 3"lift and 33's
