    Hey All,
    My son and I just bought a used 2018 Tacoma TRD long bed. It’s totally stock with original tires.
    I appreciate all the great information on this site, but it’s dizzying. I’m trying to find some guidance on a 2-3 inch lift and wheels and tires. It will be a daily driver and we go off-road 8-10 times a year. Nothing extreme, just back woods camping and exploring.

    If someone is available to provide some background to get us started, I’d appreciate it. We are located in SoCal. In the meantime, I’ll be muddling through all this information.

    Randy

    Hello Randy
    Welcome to TacomaWorld
    Keep it stock. Tacoma 4x4s are quite capable of handling your off road needs.

    the Eibach suspension is a great set up for a 2-2.5" lift without putting a hole in your wallet, try taking a look into them. Yotarealmvp.jpg
