Level / Lift 2018 Tacoma TRD Off Road

Looking to level and/or lift new Tacoma in order to run 33" tires without breaking the bank and rubbing tires. Have read a lot on Pro Comp, Bilstein, Rough Country, Toytec, Supreme, etc but have not found much on 2018s. Looking towards getting the Bilstein 5100s adjustable for the front shocks and leaving the stock rear.

Wanted to know if anyone here has leveled or lifted their 2018 and what did you use?

Looks like my truck. So curious when you say level, where are you measuring from to gauge "level"? Frame or Wheel to wheel well?

 

There are lots of us with lifted 18's out there and they run the gamut as far as how they've been done. All 3rd gens use the same kits so use that for reference.

IMO if you're just looking to level, I would do Bilstein 5100's all around and set it up with the spring on the first notch. It will ride a little stiffer, but at least you'll have a better shock which is better than just throwing a spacer kit on the front. That would be the cheapest option.

If you're just looking to run 33" tires and keeping your stock wheels, I would run skinnies (255/85/16) and be done with it. There are lots of threads on the merits of skinnies, but the looks aren't for everyone. You don't even need to lift if you go that route.

If you're going to run a wheel with more offset and 33" tires, then you're going to have to cut at least some plastic, and maybe some metal to not rub. Some people have better luck than others, but if you do an aftermarket wheel with more offset and 33" tires, you will rub somewhere in the suspension cycle. And lifting it won't change that fact.

 

Imagining parking so close to that wall gave me brief anxiety.

 

use?....the search button... that was too easy...sorry, nice truck though..
