Newbie, trying to help son in law out....wheels and tires

Hello all, like the site , I am actually a Chevy man, but my SIL, just picked himself up a 07 tacoma, plane jane, 15 inch 5 lug wheels...he wants to upgrade to 17 inch wheel and AT tires... will they fit ?? do I need to put a leveling kit on there ?? it does sit kinda low, is there a way to pick it up a few inches I dont think there has been a lowering kit installed.....aw hell I just need some pointers...anyhelp at all would be appreciated....thanks a million guys.

 

Best bang for the buck is the fat bobs leveling kit. It has a spacer for the front and longer u bolts with an add a leaf in the rear and longer shocks. U have the option for long or short add a leaf. If he uses the bed of the truck then I'd go short. I got mine shipped for dont quote me but I think it was about 285. I run this with 265/75r16 tires.

After install with stock wheels


With wheels and tires


Hope this helps and welcome to tw!

Sweet hows the shift points did you have to gear up or fif u leave the already long gears that come stock

 

I haven't gotten around to regearing yet. I still get 19-20 mpg in town and 24 on the highway so not a bad loss. I recently contacted about regearing so that's next on the list.
