What size tire to run with 3" suspension lift/level kit??

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase a 3" lift/level kit from Rough Country...http://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-suspension-lift-kit-745n2.html I am wondering what size tires you guys have run with this or a similar lift kit?? I don't want them to scrub but I also don't want too much wheel well showing either. Thanks for any input!

 

Have you researched suspension for you truck?
What wheels are you going to be using?

 

Rough Country you say?

 

Depending on your wheels, you can do 33's with minor trimming. You may have to get new UCA's to get the alignment within specs. Also, rough country and spacer lifts are shit if we're all being honest here.

 

No hate but please reconsider your choice of Rough Country.

 

Ahhh Junk Country..do you want to cut and trim plastic and metal or no? What will the "lift kit" be used for?

 

285/75R16 or 285/75R17 is usually what people do, but it will very likely take some trimming. Have you checked out the SC thread? Come and introduce yourself:

No I haven't researched that yet. For the time being, I will be keeping my plastidipped steel wheels. 16"

 

Lol why you say that? RC isn't any good? Keep in mind...it's a Pre-Runner...I will be doing some light off roading but nothing too big.

 

I do appreciate honesty! I just wanted to go with it since it was only 249 lol. My truck is a lease so I will be turning it in 3.5 years from now and purchasing a TRD PRO Tundra. I don't want to sink thousands into a lift.

 

Wow...with the comments on this thread about RC...I am seriously reconsidering.

 

Well. I would rather not cut anything since it is a lease and I will be turning it back in to get a TRD PRO Tundra. This is a "get-me-by" until then. The lift will basically be for looks. I like the look of a slightly lifted/leveled truck. I will be doing some light trail riding but nothing too big for the lil pee-runner.

 

I will have to make a formal introduction soon lol. I will probably go with the 285's then if that's the case... isn't that the P-metric that is closest to a 33"?

 

I would get 5100's all around and save your stock suspension. Throw the 5100s on and when it's time to trade up, throw the stock suspension back on and sell the 5100's on here.

 

You'll have to trim..

 

Ahhh! What would I have to trim? just the front piece of wheel well that sticks down? or are you talking bumper/fender?

 

Remove mudflaps, CMC, and trim some of the fender flare plastics where the mudflaps mount..at minimum

 

40"

 

275 max without trimming and you may still rub. Also 17" wheels can only handle 70 series tires for the same reason. Buy the 5100's, set them at 1.75 and don't bother with an aal. Well under $400.

 

I say 40s...
