3 inch lift with 31's look goofy???

I'm getting a better pair of spacers that are hub centric and hopefully 1 or 1.25 inch from the Toyota dealership.

 

I’m confused. Aren’t 265 75 16 tires pretty much 31 inches? So why is he getting all that rubbing with stock size tires?

 

They are not stock size tires. I had to go up an inch to 16 to get the tires I wanted. I had one all terrain tire for choices for the smaller stock rims. I had to go up a size. I do a lot of back country driving up gnarly mountain roads for gold detecting.

 

I had to replace my rims with 31's. Plus I have broken shock on right back. Not even attached. And left spring is broke in half, as well the shock on that sideprobably isn't working well at all.

 

I have Fox 2.5 coli-overs, which levels my truck out and I'm running 31's.

 

I have no idea what a fox coli-over is.

 

Fancy expensive shocks that ride nice and give you a lift.

 

im adding my lift in june and was planning on 33's but your truck looks great on 31's. might have to reconsider.

 

Sorry, but in no way does this truck look goofy, at least to my eye. What looks goofy to me is when folks stuff bigger tires in there to the point where the flares look goofy. This truck looked damn good.

 

agree

 

more like a 32"

Mine (BFG 265/75r16 KO's on stock alloy wheels) rubbed the frame at stock height, then slightly less with my 5100's on the middle clip. With my Kings set at 1.5" or 2" (never really measured, lol) they no longer rub.

 

all our trucks (6 lug tacomas) have coilovers. That's just the type of coil/shock our trucks have in the front. They look like struts (people often call them struts), but integrate into the suspension differently than struts. A strut works as the upper support (maintains the alignment, etc...) for the suspension, whereas our trucks have an upper control arm (aka A-arm), so all the coilover does is support the weight of the truck.

Fox is just the brand. A high end brand that's used in everything from mall crawlers to race trucks.

Here endith the lesson.

 

With the 1st gen you can get away with 31’s. The newer trucks on 31’s look really small with more than a leveling kit. It’s hard to beat 31’s in practical terms but 33’s do look great and can be done with no rubbing.

 

31's can look alright but I'll be moving up to 33's once these tires are worn out

 

Anything over a 2 inch lift and 31’s look kinda funny.

 

That actually looks perfect.

 

Thanks lol it's a 3" lift and 31"s. I like it but I'm sure I'll like it more when I go to 33s

 

I have the stock 265/70r16’s on OME 880’s and stock General leaf springs. I want to go 265/75 though.
