    I want to lift my 2012 DC TRD Sport but I'm really having trouble deciding what my best options are. Total information overload. I have no plans to do any off-roading with this truck. It is a work truck, getting me an tools around the city, but also need to portray a nice image. Most important to me is to not compromise the ride or handling. 3" of lift is plenty. I would just like to run 32" tires with a slightly more aggressive look. I don't want to run noisy mud tires, just something that will look a bit beefier without serious compromises in terms of ride, noise and handling. I realize that all of these decisions will involve a certain amount of comprise, but I'd rather lean toward on-road performance than off-road and stay on the conservative side of the "jacked-up beefy" look. Cost is low on my list of considerations.

    If cost isn't an issue, then just get some Icon Coilovers and rear shocks, some Light Racing UCA's and an OME Dakar Leaf pack. Won't completely break the bank, but isn't on the cheap end either.

    Check out places like wheelers, SDHQ or Downsouthmotorsports.

    32" tires should fit without a lift.
