    Hi Guys
    Just picked up a used 2015 Tacoma access 4cyl 4x4 Auto with only 16K truck is just going to be used for mostly around town and back and forth to work only 5 miles no big inclines .
    The truck has start of rust on the frame , not bad and savable just needs a coat of POR-15 .
    I just put the truck in the back of my shop was going to put the truck up on jack stands ... tractor trailer jack stands and take care of the rust and underside .
    I was thinking about a possible lift and tires .
    Want to keep it simple .
    32” Tires would be fine , stock wheels if possible .
    OME complete struts and springs front .
    Blocks for rear .
    Would like to use stock upper control arms .
    Any suggestions on this setup and amount of lift .
    Thanks
    Greg

    Lifts can lead to other issues with Tacomas. Drive line vibrations, premature wear on suspension and cb axels and shittier gas mileage. The driving you describe does not require a lift so read about all this before you commit to a lift that’s just for looks.

    also think add a leaf. Blocks are for broken down cars with no wheels.

    I have built a lot of lifted trucks , not to many Toyota’s , I would think 2” would not cause too much premature ware , right now the CV angles look to be starting to go In reverse angle and only 5yrs old with 16k , besides surface corrosion looks and runs like new .
    A little bigger tire and lift would come in handy when I’m down the Jersey Pines , more sand and mud than rock .
    This is just the beater work truck but want to get a little more out of the truck like 32”s give a bit more ground clearance but want to do it right .
    The truck is going to be in my shop to clean up and coat the rust areas but have not ruled out new struts and springs .
    I have done add-a leafs in the past could do that , I did add a aluminum rack 200 lbs so that could work .
    Here is the CV’s right now .

    lifts and bigger tires will overtax the 2.7l engine to the point of not being enjoyable to drive, but it will look cool
