    I purchased my very first tacoma(2013 Tacoma Trd Off road) and want to put 35’s on.

    Do a search, plenty of threads on this. A lot more to it than just a lift. Welcome to TW.

    Welcome to TacomaWorld! 2013 is a great rig, congrats! There is a great thread about installing 35s located here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2nd-gen-4x4-35s-3-lift-w-o-body-lift.285871/
    Here is a great thread for lifts: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/lifting-your-truck-things-you-need-to-know.40469/
    My personal opinion: 35s look amazing but may not be worth it. It will require you to modify the body mount on the frame (or relocate the body mount), you may need to cut your fenders, it would be wise to regear (plenty of threads about that as well), and you may need to install different upper control arms. I think the better option is 33s with a small lift; great look and great upgrade in off road capability without needing to chop the fenders, frame, or regear.

    Put on the 35's. Cycle the suspension....cut...cycle....cut some more. Regear reccomended. Whatever rubs at stock height will rub with a lift. Can run factory axles unless you go long travel. Minor fender trimming.

    You will receive a lot of opinions on how and whether you should. Share as to why you want to, how do you intend to use and why do you think 35's are the way to go. Where do you live. Do you have a budget. Making 35's fit is one thing but making them fit and the suspension perform well is two completely different requirements. Best is to read this thread. It is very long but just start at the beginning and you will quickly start to understand weather 35's are what you want and weather you want to do just the minimum or do it right. Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s | Tacoma World as well as go to www.jdfabrication.com
