    Any lift kits recommendations for my 2011 Tacoma 4x4 extended cab, long bed to accept LT255/75/R17? I'm also thinking of installing wheel spacers to get the wheels to project out.
    I'm not looking to make a mud truck, but like to drive on trails. Thanks, Colin

    Use wheels with the correct specs and you shouldn't need any work for those tires to clear

    Poke can negatively impact trail driving (if they are tight trails especially).

    Lift won't create tire clearance. Nor will it raise the axle lines (lowest part of truck). It can improve approach and departure angles some if you have elevation changes where that matters.

    Just some things to noodle on.

    On a tacoma it's rarely a "Kit" but the few that are sold as a kit aren't very popular. Do the research on here, what you'll find more then likely is the "kit" will be made up piecemeal. Springs from one company, shocks from another and upper A arms for a 3rd vendor. A decent company that sells all those products can put together a "Kit" but it's just a collection of parts they assembled.

    Spend some time over in the builds section and you’ll get a good idea.
