    2017 Tacoma TRD Sport Long bed
    It's time to get my, finally paid off, 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro Sport some modifications. For now, I would like to:
    • Suspension Lift, up to 4" (which stays under warranty according to Toyota)
    • New Rims -- Currently I have 17.0 x 7.5 in -- Looking for black
    • New Tires -- Currently I have Toyo A30 Open Country P265/65R17 -- Looing for offroad
    I'm leaning toward a suspension lift. I want my truck to be more than just a mall crawler and have the clearance when heading off-road. Even though those times will be few and far between. I'm looking for a mid-price range as I'm not wanting to break the bank or go super cheap. With that said I don't have the skill set to do this myself so I will be taking this into a shop to do all of the work. I've been researching these, but not being gearhead savvy, I'm looking to you for combination suggestions. Thank you in advance for your help.

    This is what I’d do in your shoes, but you may have a different vision.

    - 285/70/17 KO2 (Load C) tires
    - Dakar leaf pack for rear
    - Bilstien 6112s
    - Regearing to 4.88 (or 5.29)
    - KDMax tune
    - Cab mount chop

    This will give you about 2”s front and back, could use a 1/4 top plate spacer in front to give an extra .5” if you want. Will look way better, and be good off road, but will maintain it as a good daily driver as well.
