Lift Kit / Tire's and Wheels

Hello all fellow Tacoma owners, I just bought my Tacoma a couple of weeks ago and I wanna do a 3 Inch lift, but I want retain my original struts so I was thinking about a block kit. I do wanna do some off-roading but I don't wanna go out and spend a fortune. Also want one that has a transfer case drop and maybe add a drive-shaft drop too? What do you guys recommend I buy?

Also what's a good wheel and tire combo, thinking about a 18 Inch wheel but I want to know what sort of offset is good for a 1 1/2 Inch fender poke?

Any help/ links to other threads would be very appreciated, Thanks!

Welcome to TW. If you're planning to do some off roading I would suggest not to use spacers and blocks to lift your truck specially at a 3" lift. If you check the for sale section and even on offerup or ebay you should be able to find a cheap suspension upgrade. Also check out the suspension and Wheels/tires section and you should find the answers to all your questions there. Goodluck
