    So I purchased my first tacoma, 2017. I was talked into the purchase of some LT285 70 17 General Grabber X3's. Obviously they do not fit the stock suspension. I would like to get a 4" lift approx. BUT, I would prefer to not have to cut or weld anything or use blocks on the rear springs.

    Is there a replace parts/bolt-in kit out there of this nature or am I S.O.L. in some fashion?

    Thanks!

    Maxtrac spindle lift if you have a pre-runner, otherwise not really

    If you want a 4" lift on your Tacoma, you may want to look into BDS or similar drop bracket (DB) lift, and you will be cutting the cross member out. If you are 2 wheel drive, then you can look into some MaxTrac Spindles

    First, 285s might not be the best choice if you don't want to cut anything, since you very well could need a CMC (cab mount chop) even with a lift. Second, with a CMC done, you can fit 285s with a lift smaller than 4" and have a much nicer setup.

    Only a 1” lift with 285/75r17 but I have -12 offset rims and did a lot of pushing in on the fender liners. A lot. And also I’d reccomend doing 4.88 gears, these tires are 34” and losses a lot of power
