    3" Rough Country lift
    Hello fellow Tacoma drivers!
    I'm working on lifting my truck. It's a 3" lift from Rough Country. That being said, would 275/70R17s work for this lift or should I go with 265s? Trying to see what yall think before a make a mistake haha. Thanks yall!

    I run 265x70x17 stock. If you are going to lift you might as well put more tire under the truck.

    Why the rough country lift? Is this truck an asphalt queen?

    I haven't seen 255s yet! What's yours look like?? Mine is pretty much an asphalt driver. The only time I'm usually off-roading is when I'm going down trails to my grandfather's house or hunting.

    Sorry to jump in but I've been curious about my setup.

    I have 265/65/r17s and they look small in my wheel wells, does that mean my truck has a lift? I'm taking it to a dealership tomorrow to get this question answered once and for all but I was just talking to another Tacoma owner yesterday and the more we compared our two trucks the more it looked like mine has a lift too. His was a 3" lift with something like 285 17's I think.

    Thanks!
