TRD Lift Kit Most Aggressive Looking Available Tire Size

Nope. I understand it perfectly. You are misunderstanding.

Can you reread my comments and answer questions? Such as, if a suspension has genuinely, literally, absolutely nothing to do with helping clear larger tires, why do so many people do it? Why is “three inch lift and 33’s” a common saying around these parts? Why would suspension lifts even exist if they didn’t help at all?

 

What you fail to realize is on an IFS truck the factory geometry is unchanged meaning all you are doing is minimizing down travel, when your suspension compresses its the same as factory, lift doesnt affect the factory geometry. The range of motion on a lifted truck versus a non lifted truck is exactly the same. The reason for this is unlike a solid axle your front differential is mounted within a fixed position on the frame. This has been explained ad nauseam. You can lift a solid axle to the moon as long as you correct driveline angles, can't do that with an IFS unless you completely remove the front IFS, or cut out the front diff, frame, crossmember etc.

Most people are lifting their vehicle to sit taller but adding a couple of inches lets you increase your approach, departure, and breakover angles while giving you some extra space in the rocks. It's not much but it helps. The reason people say 2" (not 3) is because thats about the maximum lift you can get without sacrificing all of your suspension performance. The reason people say 33" is because thats the largest you can reasonably fit without going to the deep end of the pool.

A 33" tire rubs the cab mount, a lift doesnt help your tires clear the cab mount. You can fit a 35" tire in the factory wheel wells, again the issue is the cab mount.

And for the record "three inch lift with 33" is NOT a common saying, quite the opposite, the most common thing is 33/285 and a CMC

 

It doesn’t help or make a difference.

 

If you stay on pavement it helps, if you off-road it dosen’t

 

that’s why i’m on the TACOMA forum to do research on my TACOMA, you pinecone

 

That's good info for me. I am currently in Virginia but moving back to Tennesse in 6 months and was planning on a cmc. Will wait I guess!

 

I have the TRD lift kit with t4r pro wheels (17x7 +4mm offset) and 275-70-17 Falken wildpeaks

Any bigger and it would rub

 

Just did the TRD Lift on my 2022 TRDOR and went with 17in Pro Bronze rims and 275/70/R17 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. Fits like a glove

 

I have the TRD lift installed with 285/70-17 Toyo AT3’s on Konig six shooters 17”x8” with mud flaps, and there is zero rub.

 

I have 285/70/17s on 4runner SEMA wheels with 5100s on the top notch and a 1 inch block, no rub, no trimming, no CMC and still have the mud guards. Rides great, speedometer is calibrated, kdmax pro 9 tune.
