    Hey guys!

    I just bought a 2015 Toyota Tacoma 2WD about 6 months ago. This is my first time owning a truck and been trying to do a lot of research on modifications for the truck.. There are so many acronyms that I feel like I'm reading a different language, so I was hoping you guys could help. I've saved up some money to get my truck lifted (3" desired) and looking for wheels and tires. Can someone help me out with some suggestions for what kind of lift I should get (do not off road often), and what size wheels and tires would fit nicely. If you could provide pictures and links to sites you buy from it would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to TW and congrats on the truck! If I had a 2wd, I'd look in to spindle lift ( keeps Cv axle geometry?) and a new leaf pack(Dakars). Matched with Bilstein, you woyhave a nice lift .
    Talk with Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road, she can help you out!!
