    2016 tacoma off road trd
    hey everyone, so I have decided to be a taco owner for life. I owned an sr5 2013 double cab 4x4 and have since upgraded to a 2016 trd off-road. i am wanting to lift this baby about 4 inches to fit some 33's under there. Now i have never lifted any truck before, nor do i have a lot of 4x4 experience but where i hunt i need some more ground clearance to get around safely. I joined this forum to get some help. Hopefully y'all can help me out, and just an fyi, i have thick skin so bring on the ball bustin!

    Does anyone know of any relevant tsb for my truck that i should have done? I saw one about a transmission flash but the tech at toyota said i didnt need it. Is he just being lazy or is he right?
