    To start, I want to say that I have used the "SEARCH" function extensively. This is my first truck and I'm still confused/unsure. Please square me away(without being too much of a prick)

    I want to lift my '13 DCSB TRD Sport 4x4. This is mainly for asthetics. I would like to keep the ride as close to stock or softer if possible I also plan on getting slightly larger tires once the stock rubber need replacement. Most of my mileage is highway, however about 1/4 of my mileage is on dirt and gravel roads. I occasionally end up off-road for camping(but nothing a stock Tacoma would have issues with) and will not even consider serious off-road activities until my truck is paid off. Even then, any off-road usage would be mild at best.

    My questions are:
    What is the best option for a 2" lift for my uses?
    What other mods changes are necessary with a 2" lift?
    How much larger than stock tires can I go without significantly affecting odometer?

    Thanks.

    The BEST option (IMO) would be OEM length kings and you can use your stock UCAs for the front, the rear depends, do you want the truck level or with a rake?

    Also since you have a sport, do you have 17s or the new 18s that come on some sports? If you have 17s go with a 265/70 tire.

    I like aggresive stance with a rake, but leveled is fine. I have the 17s.
