    Hi, I'm new at this, I will get the hang of things. Got my first Taco 6mo. ago, I had no idea how large a community It was.
    Quick question, '21 Taco Pro, Westcott Design, is it the why to go for a leveling kit? I like to do everything myself. I'll do it right the first time. Thanks for any input.

    pinstripes. lots of pinstripes.
    I think you're asking about a leveling kit? Make sure to look at options beside Westcott. Despite what they say, it looks a hell of a lot like a spacer lift. Lot better options out there.

    Thanks for the info. When I get this truck up 2" more inches, I do like the look of the stock wheels. New tires? 285,75 R16, will I get any Rub? I can NOT find a true answer. Does any one know for sure?

    More than likely.

    Lift has a minor role in tire clearance.

    Wheel specs, tire size, alignment specs and how the truck is actually used have greater roles.

    OTOH, it's well documented you can run a 255 85 16 on your OE wheels with no lift and no rubbing. And that's a 33" tire too.

    I’m on 285/75r16. I had to do minor fender trimming and no cab mount chop.

    My truck has a 2” lift in the front, 1.5” in the rear and my rims sit at -6 offset.

    The biggest issue on clearing this size tire is getting your tire away from the Upper control arm. The sweet spot is 0 to -10 offset. Also with after market upper control arms you can adjust the caster but it’s not truly needed until you hit 3” of lift.

    2” of lift and proper wheel offset and you should be fine but every truck is different.

    Or just get a new front bumper and not worry about front rubbing :D

    Looks really good!
    I put a new front bumper on buy only over the center black pad where the license plate goes,. Factory rims have 0 off set? I may need to get rims too. Oh well it's only money. Right.

    The TRD Pro wheels have +13 offset.
    Might as well get new ones :D
