    Hey guys and gals, new to this forum, I drive a 2012 Toyota Tacoma prerunner with 3 inch lift
    Had a few questions
    What is the biggest tire I can fit with this amount of lift?
    What are my other options if I wanted to go bigger lift without breaking the bank?
    Do you guys recommend wheel spacers ?
    Finally if I wanted to keep just my 3 inch suspsension lift but go bigger should get lift blocks or a body lift ?
    Thanks guys!

    35s or larger if willing to cut, trim, chop, BFH.
    Spindle lift.
    I don't like wheel spacers, but they work.
    1" body lift is ok imop.
    I hate blocks.

    If your a pre runner you should look at MaxTrax lift spindles. I believe they are 4.5 inch up front.

    Largest tires depends on what you mean by "fit". You can can go as big as you want, just be prepared to :sawzall:

    No blocks or spacers , dont cheap out on a nice truck and put a shitty lift on. Do like @ChadsPride , he has Lift spindles and Dakar leaf packs. If you want over 3" lift.

    I have a 2015 Double cab TRD Sport, looking to lift it and run some 33 or 35 inch tires. I've been looking at the BDS 6inch Coilover lift kit, Fabtech, and the Procomp. Is anyone running these kits? Any issues? I'm into Surf Fishing on the Outer Banks of NC, just want some more clearance and I don't like trimming or cutting anything off the truck for tires to clear. I have the FabFours Vengeance series front bumper so that should help.

    I am not into drop bracket lifts, they bend. Just do some real nice coilovers, trim, cut, BFH, cmc, and 35s. You will go anywhere. Good luck.

    Got ya, with out the drop brackets, is there an angle that is too much for the CV? I'm assuming that coilovers that are longer will push the rest of the axle down from the stock height. Unless that geometry doesn't affect the axle
