    Good Morning All,

    Looking to install a 3" suspension lift, I have been studying the forums.

    I was going to stay away from 285's and go with 265/75/17's any thoughts or concerns with this choice.

    Also have read a few comments about the ride improving considerable, what are the preferred shocks to go with ??

    Last question, one the forums mentioned a drive spacer to avoid vibrations, cannot locate that one to re-read.

    Great forums, loving TW

    Thanks Gents

    Here's a good one on driveline vibrations: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/just-fixed-driveline-vibration-for-free.153050/

    I think you're looking for 265/70r17? That'll get you a slightly larger tire without dealing with rubbing issues. MPG shouldn't take a hit either.

    There are plenty of shocks/coilovers/lifts that'll get you 3" higher, and plenty of threads here on which routes to go...even direct links to specific lift kit packages from TW vendors.
