    3" suspension lift
    Ive recently bought a 2015 Tacoma in may with a 3" rough country lift kit (attached there's a picture). I would like to make it look like something like the 2nd picture. My question is, basically, what do i need? to fit 35'' tires and to look half decent would you suggest putting on a 6'' lift kit? getting away without cutting the frame or anything would be great to. And for rims, what offset would you suggest and with what size of spacers? Although i would like to save any pennies, money is not really an issue here. I basically know nothing in mechanic and bodywork so i will hire someone to get it done.

    Thanks:)

    Running 35's requires a decent amount of modification to the Cab Mounts, pinch welds, fenders, and other areas.

    You have a really good looking truck!!!

    Start reading old posts and keep going for the next 6 months or so. You can do everything you want, but you have quite a bit to learn in order to get there. Even if you don't do the work, you need to educate yourself on the right way things are done. Remember:


    Time+Tacomaworld+youtube+$$ = you can do anything

    Unless you really want to spend some cash, I wouldn't mess with it very much! it looks great as it is! Bumper change, headlight upgrades and other mods are simpler to do without much hard labor like cutting and welding. The less you muck around with the suspension, the fewer issues you might have down the road.
