    Hey I'm asking can anyone find a 4 inch lift kit without the maximum tire size being 32x10.50. Because it is so hard to find that tire size. I dont want to go 6 because that might be too tall but i don't want to go 3 because it might be too small. Is there anyway with those size that you can do a small deep lip in 18x9 wheels.

    You realize if you go above 2 to 3 inches in lift you are going to open a huge can of worms for suspension and driveline problems near and long term. The amount of money to adjust all of that suspension and driveline geometry is going to be "mucho expense". This conversation is :deadhorse:

    Don't listen to @smitty99 . He doesn't understand that it is requirement by Allah himself to lift every Tacoma 6 inches with big tires. Because going over curbs safely and quickly is a necessity in the live of all Tacoma owners.

    Nothing like spending thousands of dollars to reduce functional performance capability and introduce more problems to your $35k-$40k truck.

    Smithy you're basically saying there is no point in getting a lift. My truck just got new tires but I get enough money I'm going to try to get a lift and tires it's not just to look cool or anything it's just other features to it I can see in the future

    I think you can get a mild lift with the right parts to improve performance and functionality. Or you can install a more significant lift and sacrifice performance and functionality for looks.

    9 inches hurt. 6 is just right.

    3 inches look perfect in my opinion. Met this guy when I was getting my TSB done, full stage 4, 3 inch icon lift.

    Wheel spacers will only push your wheels out, they won't contribute to lift. If you're asking if you can get a 3 inch SPACER LIFT, then I would definitely not recommend it, even if it is possible.

    But if you get a 3 inch lift the right way, with springs, coils, etc., then you can add wheel spacers as well depending on your tire size.

    You will not notice a difference in looks between 3 and 4 inches...
