    A lot of hard work has finally paid off for me. Here are the before and after pictures of my 09 tacoma. 3 inch lift with 18x10 fuel hostage wrapped with Ironman all country AT 275/65r18.
    Very happy with it, still look back at my truck every time I put it in park and walk away from it.
    Also put a 32’ light bar flush mount on below the grill.
    Only 20 years old, so I guess that’s part of why I like it so much, worked so hard that i finally got to see it pay off.

    Judging by diagonal Instagram style photos, blingy rims... im guessing a rough country / some sort of spacer lift?

    You have a 5 lug... your proper options are WAYYYYY less limited than OPs 6 lugger.


    Waiting eagerly to hear back from @Charliecaricofe about what lift he went with!

    I appreciate the compliment man. Why are they so frowned apon? I don’t plan on rock climbing or bogging. I may go down a dirt road occasionally, but why are they so frowned upon?

    Because this is the only place they can flex their expensive shocks since nobody in the real world cares. Your truck looks killer

    Spacer lift will damage your suspension. Good luck with that.
