    Sorry guys, I'm semi new to this and still looking at what to do for tires and tire size. I have a stock 05 DC Prerunner sport. Im looking to do a small lift...(yes i mean small) under 3inches. Money is definetly an option here. I dont have enough money for the Bilsteins 5100 and an add a leaf. I dont really offroad much so performance is really not a option as well. Just love the look of a slightly lifted taco.

    so heres the thing, i want a bigger tire all around but nothing too beefy. Just want it noticeable. Was looking at 270/65/17. Like a Toyo Open Country A/T.

    Since im not gonna do the bilsteins should i do blocks? what kind?

    What size tire would look good with 1 inch blocks? I have no clue, thats why im here.

    Thanks in advance!

    I had a DayStar 2.5" spacer kit with 2" blocks - it was the cheapest I could find at the time and worked surprising well. 265/75/16 (32x11.5" I believe) tires are what I had and looked pretty good.

    Where can I purchase the Day Star 2.5 inch? And the 2" blocks in the rear? Or those go all around too?
