    Good morning Taco Peeps…. I need some advice. I have 19’ TRD Sport. I have it lifted with the Rough Country 3.5 kit. I want it higher. I run 33’s, and they still rub when I turn sharp. It was advertised that I’ll also level my truck but to me it doesn’t look level. Is there an option for adding something or am I better off swapping it out for a different kit?

    Any advice is appreciated !!

    These trucks don't like lifts above 2 inches. You're already at 3.5, and lifting more won't necessarily fix your rubbing issue. It's your truck, but I'd think long and hard.

    Have you done the CMC? I see you have a -12 offset wheel, so you could try a wheel that does not stick out as much. I am lifted 3 inches with no rubbing issues with CMC and a -6 offset wheel. Just some suggestions I wanted to offer although I don't have any good suggestions for going above a 3 inch lift. I have read that going above a 3 inch lift gets quite a bit more complicated and expensive.

    You’ve got it all wrong !!! Knowledge is power. Watch this. In fact, watch his videos regarding IFS lifts on you tube

    To go higher lots of cutting required. You’re pretty high already….If you don’t have the ECGS bushing in your front diff then it’s a ticking time bomb and your lift will grenade your front diff (needle bearings).(just trying to be helpful here not trying to scare you or persuade you)

    you can go 6” but like I said you’ll be cutting front cross member etc and it’s a lot of work, not hard just a lot to it.

    Thank you everyone, so what about a smaller tire?
