    So I'm new here and unfortunately I didn't find this site before I did the leveling kit and new tires. I did the rough country which I know I won't hear the end of that but the local tire shop in my town suggested it. I have the 3" kit and put the OEM TRD 16" black wheels with the Toyo A/T 285/75/16 tires. I like the look but just want to go a little higher and this site is not helping and my wallet keeps telling me to do it the more time I spend on here.

    I saw the RCD 4" and my question is can I do that and leave my wheel package on without it looking stupid. Any other suggestions?

    Any higher than 3" and you'll need a drop bracket. a 1" body lift might also be an option if you don't feel the need to be much higher.

    That OR looks great! Love those TRD wheels. I'm kinda set on getting Mickey Thompson Classics III, but those TRDs wheels look so good on your truck, simple yet clean and mean. Still debating which wheel to get. But I think a 4in lift might only slightly satisfy your desire for a more dramatic lift, you seriously might want to consider a 6in. I don't think there would be a large enough visual difference from a 3in you have now to a 4in RDC lift you mention. It sounds like you may want a larger lift but worried about wheel/tire to lift height ratio, your 33s would still look mean with a 4-6in lift in my opinion. But don't take my word for it. Do search here and google images for truck pics to get an idea.

    The rcd is actually a 5" lift which can be modified into a 6" very easily.

    Everything I keep reading says a 6 inch lift looks stupid with 33's...not sure if a 5" lift would be any better but I can't afford to do the wheels all over again...might just keep it the way it is for a couple years..
    Your truck looks great!

    Ah-soh...so it's a 5incher...sounds reasonable.

    Yes, your truck looks awesome with them MT Classics III.
