2017 tacoma lifting?

Whats up out there, I have a 2017 tacoma sport 4x4, just got it like 3 months ago.
Im trying to ad a lift kit, how ever this is my first experience lifting a truck.
I want something smooth to ride around town and rough enough for trailing.
I have TRD 17x7 rims. any opinions, suggestion or comments will be appreciated.
brand names and kit options, what do I need, what I don't need. I don't want to go higher than 3", what size tires can I use.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

 

It will cost you a little coin, but in my opinion...will be worth it, again...my opinion. I went with the Icon Stage-3 suspension system and added the Toyo Open Country M/T's 265/75/R16's to my 2017 Off Road. My Toy rides and handles fantastic and I get comments on the look and height often at the gas pumps.

 

265/75/16

 

Thanks...good catch!

 

My suggestion is in my signature link below -- Bilstein 6112/5160s for which I've provided a fairly comprehensive write-up to where you could DIY. Happy reading!

Also below you'll see info on Tire size as well as the ECGS replacement bushing for the needle bearing. You'll want to research this and have it done as well if you're lifting.

 

Here mine with just a 1.5 inch level on the front!
