    I'm looking for the best lift on the market that could fit 35’s, I don’t mind chopping and I’m also getting those mcneil fiberglass fenders.

    tundra with 6 inch lift... I think 35 is a bit much for the Tacoma but people do it hopefully they will chime in for you.

    If you get a drop bracket lift then you are straight...many including me will advocate either running 33's as its a more balanced look with minimal cutting (as you have said) unless you want to wheel the truck and need the clearance. If you do 35s the real way, you will need to trim up significantly your cab mount to almost nothing. No structural worries or anything, but many just dont want to cut that much out as it takes a guy who knows how much to cut. I run 35s myself and with 35s it is recommended to also regear as thats alot of strain on your drive shaft if you have to drive for really long cross country trips and the MPG will lag and the power will be no bueno. When I had 33's I never regeared and never had issue...this is why so many folks stay at the 33 level unless their wheeling aspirations take over.

    It call comes down to what you want the truck to achieve...also I forgot to mention that you will need to trim your fenders/bedsides a little if you dont have a 6 inch drop bracket lift as well.

    Time for me to start a 35 tire thread, “intro to fitting 35s”

    Lifting does very little to fit tires, cutting and trimming (a lot) is required to fit 35s.

    Honestly Joe, I think alot of folks could use one to see the size of that rabbit hole if you feel so inclined.
