    Hey Guys,

    I know I want to lift and level my Taco. I’m hoping for advice on where to go in the Longmont or North Denver, or even FoCo area. I am willing to pay for a good job but ideally want to keep it lower in price since I will mainly drive as my commuter and minor off roading.

    Thanks!
    Sorry if this info is somewhere else.

    @Toytec Lifts is a great place that could hook you up with a nice lift..
    Or you could see if some of the guys would help out with a mod day, coilovers and springs and UCAs aren’t that hard to install..

    I actually ordered my lift from them, picked it up, installed it myself, first timer. Toyota makes it easy to swap out parts and with the instructions that @Toytec Lifts provide with their lifts, its a breeze. Have a buddy to there is recommended if you want the job to go quicker.

    Toytec is great
    I got my lift but I ran into a little snag with the old aftermarket wheels I tried to have DT install when getting the new tires. Wrong offset and The brakes rubbed the wheels pretty bad. They Took right off.
    Currently the Long story short is I would like to now put the 17” TRD pro sema wheels on with some 255/80/17’s. Can anyone confirm that the 17” TRD pro sema wheels will work?

    Listen to this man. I think anyone who goes off roading should do their own work including lift. If you can't install a lift you're not gonna be able to fix something on the trail.

    I have TRD sema wheels on 265/70/17. I think 255/80/17 should work with a lift. You might need some UCAs for caster adjustment and some minor fender well cutting/trimming

    I would think they would be just fine
    But I could be wrong..

    Those tires are skinner and taller than stock

    I think the sema wheel are the same specs as 17” stock wheels

    Here is a thread where you can ask and get an answer.
