    Hi Y’all,

    New to TW. Recently purchased a Trd off-road. I have done a fair amount of research on lifting these trucks. With that in mind, I have come to conclusion that I want -25mm offset wheels and possibly 295/75/16 tires. I think this can be done with a 2.5” lift. (CMC, pinch weld, Uca) I was thinking of SPC UCA for better alignment and adjusting of caster. Thinking of going with a budget friendly bilstein 5100 and add a leaf setup. Looking to have this work done by a professional.

    Questions:
    1. Can this be done? Will it be pain in ass?

    2. Are there any trusty/reliable professionals that know Tacomas like back of their hand in the state of North Carolina? (Willing to travel fair distance) (I have gone to two shops and they say I can only fit 31’s on 2” lift… suggests spacer lift… love Toytec… in another words not confident they know tacomas)

    pinstripes. lots of pinstripes.
    @IvanhoeTaco might have some recommendations. When I was there I didn't really see any shops I'd trust so I DIY'd everything.

    East Coast Gear Supply is in Louisburg. Not sure if they do other work besides their product install but it's worth calling those guys. I'll be down there next week getting an elocker installed

    About a year late on this but anyone looking for quality work in the Coastal South East, Mud Diggers in Maysville did my truck and I can't be happier.
