2in or 3in lift OME

What’s up guys, I’ve been torn between the full OME lift kit that gives a 2in or a 3in. I do some light to intermediate off-roading and I was wanting a lift. I currently have 275/70 r17 A/T on the truck right now and I rub just a tiny bit on rear fender. I don’t want to get an off the wall high lift and it look unproportional. What do y’all think?

 

Welcome to Tacoma World. I'd go with a 2 inch but that's all preference and what you plan for the future. Keep in mind that lift does not equal more tire clearance when it comes to IFS.

 

Most go with a 3/2 lift. Everything depends on your budget, ask @Crikeymike or @HeadStrong Off-Road could explain things a lot better that I could.

 

Nice looking truck and dog too. I have a golden that always carries her toys with her outside too

 

What do you mean ifs?

 

Independent front suspension. He means the lift itself will make your truck taller but not increase ground clearance. The only thing that will increase ground clearance is bigger tires. With that said, if you don't intend to size up on tires, a 2" will probably best serve your needs. If you do plan to size up on tires, the 3" will give you a bit more clearance to do so.

 

Okay! Yea I have bigger wheels and tires on. 275/70r17 not much bigger but almost 33s lol

 

If you plan to go to a solid 33 or bigger, a 3" wouldn't be a bad idea! Otherwise, a 2" will suit you fine. Really depends how much you want to trim too. You'll have to do some cutting if you want to stuff a 33 on a 2 inch lift (and even a 3 inch depending on backspacing). And of course visual preference. Keeping the lift lower will give more of the "stuffed" look with the tires in the wheel well as opposed to the smaller tires in an open wheel well look.
