Which 3" lift is best for 97 Tacoma

I live in Canada and the winters here are pretty brutal and hard on any car or truck. So i finally found myself a MINT 1997 Tacoma Reg Cab 4x4 (right from California). I just stored it for the winter and plan on driving only in the summer as a toy. I am looking for any ideas on a 3" suspension lift so i can run offset rims and possibly 33" tires.I will be running the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs.Any suggestions on what make of lift would be great..

Thanks

 

What are you going to do with the truck? Do you offroad?

What width 33" tires do you plan on using?

Reason I ask, is because 33" tires (wider ones) won't fit all that well underneath only 3" of lift, especially if you're gonna be offroading or flexing the suspension. You'll have rubbing issues.

Back when I helped install lifts for people on the 1st gens - the rule of thumb for 33x12.50" tires was 3" suspension and 2" body lift. You might also consider the 4" or 6" lifts (more expensive).

33x9.50" tires would probably work with only 3" - but....that's a skinny ass tire (pizza cutters).

What he said,

I am running the toytec Ultimate tho, and i love the ride. Im still waiting on tires tho as i havent picked ut my rims yet.

 

about 2" of lift here via OME 881's and wheelers 5 leaf pack and running 255/85/16 tires (33x10) with some rubbing but manageable.

 

i think you meant to say what she said. haha. ^^

i say what he said!^

 

lol my bad, at least its not Mt girl, Id be in big trouble

Sorry Janster wasnt really payin attention

 

Running a 2.5" OME full system on my 2000...LOVE it. Only have 265/75/16 (32") with zero clearance issues.

 

You could just use the neutral "They"

 

Thanks!

I actually see that on many occassions - but I never bother to say anything. It really doesn't bother me at all. The information is more important than where it comes from (in this case).
