How many inches, what lift kit, what wheels/tires for my 3rd gen?

Lol. Nobody does this.
They want a lift, it looks cool...period.
Nobody off roads 24/7. It's like light bars...where the fuck is everyone going where they need so much light.
Old advice is old.
Answer the question he's asking.

 

I lifted for function and performance not for looks but believe what you say is most commonly true.

 

I did. Last line of my post.

 

I lifted mine to let everyone know I have a small dick.

 

You need to find out how many inches your wife or girlfriend want.

 

If we got a spread sheet, had people put in their lift height, tire size, wheel size, offset (or BS), caster, and if / where they rub. Then we sticky the thread with the spread sheet. We probably wouldn't have a billion threads all asking the same question.

 

Bet you would.

'Cause they'd have to look for the sticky and read it. Challenge 1.

Then many would say, 'but what about product / tire / wheel 'x'. I can't find it on the list. Anyone running that?'

 

Yeah, you're probably right, but it would at least make things easier for people who do search. I've spent hours trying to figure out what's going to rub if I put 275/70R17 on 17x8 -10 with stock suspension, and this is the best I can come up with:

Since the TRD 17's are 17x7 +4 and they clear the suspension with a 275/70R17 without spacers, math says a 17x8 -10 should too.

My desired wheel / tire combo should clear the cab mount... I think

I'll probably have to remove the front mud flaps

Maybe I can keep the mud flaps, or at least fit some rock blocks if I adjust the caster

 

I beg to differ, not everyone has the common sense to use the search function to begin with

 

PSSS could not be more true.

 

Leave it stock, sell it, buy a Raptor and do absolutely nothing to it except drive the hell out of it..lol.
