Choosing a lift and wheels

I would like to lift my Taco, I'm thinking 4" suspension lift with 33s? Anyone have any recommendations, thoughts, suggestions? I'm not sure what brand kit, or if 4" is what I will end up choosing. Also not sure what wheels/tires to choose. Let me know what you think!

 

A 4” lift might cause some issues. I “think” I’ve seen that 255/75/16s will fit without a lift but don’t quote me on that one.
Depending on what you want to do with the truck, how much off roading, daily driver might change what you want. While I have the Ironman Foam Cell Pro, I cant give a review yet since only half the lift is on. Half the kit was lost by UPS. There are plenty of choices depending on your budget. I would recommend reaching out to Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road let her know what you want and she will hook you up with a great kit and recommendations. There are threads on here about the different kits, 5110s, Eibach, King’s, Fox, Ironman and others, and there is a lot of other information. You can also search on the different tire sizes your interested in. Many member have to do a cab mount chop to fit 285/70-285/75 tires plus fender trimming.
Sorry I don’t have any real help to offer but welcome to TW and good luck!

 

You seek opinion.

Keep any lift 2.5 or under.

Spend more than you plan on for the parts.

Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and install what she ships you.

 

Here is a great thread on lifts: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-ultimate-tacoma-lift-guide.509171/

 

BDS makes a great kit at 4 or 6 inch ( but you have to cut so keep that in mind ). They have all the components in the kit to make sure the drive angles are correct and have a pretty impressive engineering outfit behind what they put out there. I was on track for the same route you were with the 4" until I decided to put on some new 2020 TRD pro's and level it. Best of luck.

 

There is a lot to wrap your head around with the lifting of a taco.


Spend lots of time researching.
I'm in the same boat.
I'm leaning towards 2.5 inch my self.
I'd love to go bigger, but it becomes quite involved and has lots of drawbacks.
The more I learn, the more I like old man emu basic lift and spc control arms.

 

That's essentially what i did, SPC and bilstein 5100s. I didn't want to extend brake lines, change my gearing, etc...
