    3.5' lift in the front w/ Bilstein 5100 Shocks & Eibach Coils, 1.5' in the back with blocks & billies. Tinted windows. Tinted Tail-lights. Blacked out corner lights. Uws tool box. Whip Antenna. 2nd gen 16' wheels. Flowmaster 40 dual exhaust. 1.25' Wheel spacers all around.
    Hey guys I am currently running stock 31's on my Tacoma with bilstein 5100's set at 2.5. I love em they ride so well way much better than stock. I'm just wondering if I could fit 33's preferably the 12.50's. I know I'd probably have to do some trimming and maybe get some wheel spacers. Just lemme know what y'all think! Thanks guys

    A search would answer your question AND any other question you could come up with for this topic...But I believe you would want to get eibach coils up front for a full three inches (be sure to set the 5100s at 0 if you go that route) and an AAL/new leaf pack in the rear if you don't have any lift back there yet. I wish I had experience putting 33's on my truck to be more helpful, but I don't have the money to start experimenting just yet :eek:

    That's what I want to get I just don't have the money right now so I was wondering if I could just pull it off with what I have now. Haha I hear ya man we're in the same boat!

    I fit 33x12.50s on my 2.5 spacer lift. I had aftermarket wheels which caused the tires to stick out some. but they arent even close to scrubbing. The plastic on the front bumber needed to be trimmed just a little. but ive lifted it more since then. so no scrubbing. but you can definitly do it

    This is with just the spacer. like i sadi it scrubed a little on that plastic piece on the front bumber. If youre still running stock wheels you may have to get wheel spacers tho

    Yea you can run 33s are that lift. You'll just have to do a bit more trimming and hammering them most. Nothing drastic tho.

    12.5s are wide, i know. Backspacing is key to run them. 3.75-3.5" is best. The bigger the backspacing, the closer to the UCA and more you'll rub on the frame when turning. The Lower the backspacing the more you'll rub on the fenders.

    33x12.5r15s at 4" backspacing. 3'' lift up front 4.5 out back.

    33x12.5r15 at 2.5'' backspacing. Honestly this is too low. Had to cut and hammer a lot outa the fenders. Looks sweet tho..
