    Hi, I have a 2021 Tacoma long bed TRD offroad 4x4 that I purchased new. Looking for recommendations regarding lift kits

    Should I go 2" or 3"
    Recommend complete kits

    * Wish to keep factory 16" rims
    * Planning on upgrading factory tires to more aggressive 265x75

    Thanks, Mark

    oem trd lift or Bilstein 6112/5160, icon rxt leafs, jba high castor uca's.

    The factory wheels are a +25mm offset I think. A zero offset would sit about flush with the fenders and look more proportional imo. OEM TRD lift is probably your best bet with the factory wheels.

    Many suggest stay 2” or lower, to avoid more modifications needed.

    Yeah, I should have mentioned 2" or less usually doesn't require aftermarket uca's to alignment back into specs.

    You should also factor in weight, if you’re adding things like rear drawers, fiberglass topper, etc. the OE lead pack is barely good to haul TP from Costco, so significant full time added weight will affect your numbers.
