    Any suggestions on a lift? Trying to get wider tires. Was also told if I get a leveling kit I would lose quality in my suspension.

    It looks great like that and 99% of Tacoma owners agree

    Start with a more aggressive tire 265/70R17 like a BFG or Toyo AT and delete the chin spoiler (just need a 10mm socket wrench and 5 minutes)

    Leveling kits have various degrees of hate here, especially spacer lifts, but they usually retain the suspension characteristics, where a spring preload level kit will reduce ride quality, but have less risk involved.

    Remove the front spoiler, 265/70/17 All Terrain tires, done, enjoy. Or you can go wild with a lift, few hundred bucks, to thousands. It’s your truck and your MONEY.

    I went with 5100 Bilsteins from Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road to go with my AAL for a 1.5 - 2" lift. I'm putting 265/75R16 Wildpeak AT3W on shortly as well. If you go any bigger than 265, you will most likely be spending more time and money making them fit from what I've seen. Depends on how much beef you are looking for...

    Keep it bone stock for a year or two until the new wears off, then have fun and it will be new again!

    This doesn’t work for me. Mine is two months old and I’m doing a mod every month lol. Bad for my wallet, good for morale.

    Which tires are you running? Also rims. Looking into upgrading mine but not sure about sizing yet.. I have the 2016 OR stock suspension right now. Did you have to lift/level to get the tires to fit?

    Is it level? I'm also thinking of going this route.
