    TRD lift 265-70-16 Toyo AT'3
    l want to lift my 2021 access cab TRD-Off road ( non pro). l have the trd 2” level kit with 265/70/16’s and l want to go to a true 33” tire with no issues, my question is will l gain any lift going to a 2.75” lift from icon or king at least enough to run a true 33” without issues)? Just wondering how much lift the trd level kit actually give in comparison to a true lift kit?

    Lift doesn't clear tires on IFS unless you never flex the suspension at all.

    Lift doesn't not equal clearence anywhere but ride height. You will also after specify 33 as there's many different specs of a 33. Wheel offset also plays huge into what issues you will have.
    But simply yes if you go with a different kit set to 2.75 you will gain lift over the 2" trd kit

    255 85 16 on oe wheels and no lift, no rub, no cut

    33" can be reached in a number of ways. Stating all dimensions of what you are considering is better than a single number that's not even on the tire.

    Wheel specs and alignment tweaking have much more to do with clearance than lift

    I run 255/80-17’s. Small 33’s. No CMC. Did have to remove the front mudflaps. Honestly in advertising, I went Kings, slightly under 3” lift and new UCA & LCA’s but a lot of that was because, and not totally necessary.
