    Sup everyone?

    So, I just got my 08 Tacoma PreRunner 2wd last Dec and loving it!!! Now I'm trying to decipher a good lift/tire/wheel combo and have found that there's way more to consider than I originally thought, so I could really use some feedback. Here's what I'm considering so far...I'd like to install the MaxTrac 4" spindle lift with 2" rear blocks to level out the back. I'd like to stick with my stock 16" rims and run 285/75R16's but don't have a clue what size back spacer I'd have to run in order to clear everything! I don't want the tires sticking out more than needed, just enough to run this set-up. Does this sound like a good combo? Does anyone have pics of this combo or something similar? Thanks in advance for the info!!

    P.S.- it's my DD and I only go off road about 15% of the time

    Bone f’n stock for now
    You need to check out the maxtrac thread here. But to answer one your wheels. You need a minimum of 4.5 backspacing for 16". I have 4.25 and I stick out a about 1 inch the spindles push the wheels out .75 in on each side. To do stock wheels you will need spacers to push the wheels out to clear the spindles. Or you will be grinding your weights off


    I run 16x8 with 285/75/16 and I rub on full lock in reverse so something to remember. But i am also running a 6in lift. You may rub more on 4 in
