3rd Gen with 3 in lift running 265 75 r16

Hey all, anyone running 265 75 r16's with a 2.5 - 3 in lift? I have an 01 taco with cooper discoverer ATP's that are 265 75 r16 that im thinking of swapping with the stock tires (265 70 r16) on my 16 TRDOR DCLB. I plan on lifting my 16 sometime this year and am wondering if those tires will look too small with the lift. Pics appreciated! Thanks!

 

Not the best pic but i like it, looks better with the 285's but the 3"/1" leveling kit from pro comp ain't enough for 285's

 

Nice that looks great, I hear a lot of people say 285's rub which is what prompted me to say what the heck I'll just swap out my practically new 265s from my 01, thanks for the pic

 

Sweet ride, what lift / tire combo is this?

 

2 1/2" front - zero in rear, 265 75 16

I've put off lifting the rear so I can get shit in and out of it as easy as possible.

 

Nice, the front higher than the back at all? Or did it even out?

 

3rd gens sit about 1" higher in the front than the 2nd gen's and most leveling kits are for 2nd gens.

Therefore a 2 1/2" used to level it out, but now it sits high in the front. 3 and 1's look odd too. The sweet spot is 2 1/2 front, 1 in the rear.

 

Makes sense thanks for the info, I dig the stock OR rims too BTW, that's what I am planning on, Toyota nailed it with those rims

 

They are 265/75/16 on OME 888 coils and struts with full Dakar pack in the back with the OME shock. Rides great!

 

So full meaning all included leafs correct? Looks great btw

 

Correct. Got the kit and installed the leafs untouched.

 

looks great for sure when you say rides great, close to stock? alot stiffer?

 

A tiny bit stiffer. I can tell, but my buddies wife said it rides like stock and she's really peticular.

 

Better pic in the light

 

I know this post is pretty old, but did you get the light Dakar springs or the HD?

Thanks

 

They are the standard leaf springs. You can add a leaf to them or remove one. I just installed them the way they came. The front are 888 springs.

 

The "light" and "HD" dakars are new versions that just came out pretty recently; after those postings at least. Think of them as "Gen 2's". I've heard the lights be described as the older version (One dreadedsoldier has) without the overload leafs, HD being with overloads. IMO, get the HD's and if they are too stiff, take out the overload and bam, you have the lights. it would suck the other way around.. @dreadedsoldier nice looking truck brother, just to confirm, 265/75/16? I'm going with that same setup but in r17, looks good!

edit: I'm an idiot, clearly said tire size on 888's earlier, my bad..

 

Awesome, thanks for the help.
I'm having a hard time finding pics of 3rd gens with new dakars.

 

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/new-ome-dakar-leaf-pack-review.489540/ for reference on Dakars. Can't help with pictures but dreadedsoldier's is what you would be looking at, dead on. I'm going with the same setup but with 5100's all around (no difference in appearance) and 265/75/17's (just an inch bigger, barely noticeable) and will have plenty of pictures if you can wait a few weeks .
