    I got my Tacoma used a few years back. It always seems like it sits higher than others but it could just be the current tire size 235/85/16's just gives that illusion.

    Its come time for new tires and I would like to know if I can go taller to maybe the 255/85/16's or something else. I have looked and there is no noticeable mods on this truck. I dont know much about suspension so I am not sure.

    Any ideas on how to tell if its stock or not?

    As Chad stated, take some pics of your suspension and post them up here and we can definitely answer your question.

    Rear looks stock. So front would be lifted.

    What makes you say that? It looks to me as there's more wheel well gap in the back than stock.

    Ok maybe not. This is with the same height tire size and a 2" AAL in the rear, which looks a bit higher than his.

    EDIT: Fuck, I have no idea anymore after double checking a few times.

    My bet is it's got a block in the rear and a spacer lift up front. Now to just wait on OP for those pics :playball:

    I'm voting for "Lifted".

    But bigger tires or a lift on a Reg Cab kind of look exaggerated to begin with!

    Betting it's a spacer lift front and back.

    Tail lights aren't stock and appears to have plasti dipped wheels and a light bar on the front bumper.

    And some old school 4runner or something else in the drive.
