    hello all.

    I'm a new member here...

    Looks for lift and tire recs... on my 2008 Tacoma access cab 4x4...

    It's all factory... I wanted to come here to hopefully avoid the hassle of dealers and maybe get some insight...

    Thank you

    Welcome to TW!
    You will find all that you are looking for and more here. We're a busy place!

    Look on the left column toward the lift section. You will find some stickies that will put you in the right direction depending upon how
    you want to perform. Remember there are many kinds of lifts, not all of them are for desert racing, not all are for rock climbing.

    That said, they ALL are for showing off, so check out your regional area, you may meet some tacos in your area!

    Then you can have your own Taco's on Taco Tuesday with Tacomas. (still need work on that slogan)

    Thank you.

    Right now it feels like a street truck... which is fine until your not on the street which is why I got a 4x... but over all I think I'm fairly conservative in what I want... 265/70r16 bfg ko2 on stock steel... but even that small increase makes me feel the front might need to be raised... that and for ground clearance... maybe one day I get a ARB bumper... but that's s us not that time... Tacomas look good so im not concerned with it looking mean... I want functionality... I hope that makes sense.
