3" lift questions

I have an 2009 Double Cab TRD 4x4 tacoma, The susp. is all factory, I'm looking to install a 3" susp lift. My question is, do I need to change the rear factory Bilstein shocks if I add a 3" spacer under the rear springs? I also have 265/75/16 tires would this look okay with the 3" susp. Lift.?? Just wondering

 

there's tons of people running that size with 3" lifts. its all a matter of personal preference.

You will need to change your rear shocks, stock are too short

 

I run 2" AAL with factory shocks in the rear. Its OK, however you wont have as much flex in the rear while off roading.

 

I have a 3" lift with 265s...see my sig. Will be running 285s soon though

2" AAL with Bilstein 5100s for the rear.

 

You referring to a 3" block for the rear? You sure you want a block that thick? If yes, then consider a longer shock.

 

Thanks for the reply's back... ...

 

a 3" lift, does it make the truck sit level.? 3" in front and 2" in rear?
and still use my stock rear Shocks?

 

I have 3" spacers up front and 2" AAL in the rear, my truck is almost level with very slight rake, almost not noticeable. Stock shocks in the rear...

 

does any one know if you need to install a diff spacer when you install a 2" spacer on the top of the front shocks,? 09 TRD Tacoma
