Watch This Video BEFORE You Lift Your Toyota Tacoma

[@TheBourbonNights]

Hey Rob, I lifted my 2021 Off Road with a TRD Pro suspension. I added Eibach Pro lift springs to front and Icon AAL to the back. I’m running Cooper XLT 285/75/16. The ride is SO much better than it was stock. Day and night difference. It dampens bumps much better, corners better and is more planted to the road then before. Also, the Pro suspension fixes the Taco lean!

Great vid. Thank you. But If you put your new set of wheels next to your old ones and they are 1” higher than the old then the circumference is equally 1” more. However the radiance of the wheel is half of the circumference. So you gain 1/2” of lift

[@michaelengel384]

I was considering a 3" lift because I wanted the look, but now I agree I really don't want to ruin the ride, mine is an off road, but I will leave the side steps on to keep down on door dings, but thanks you saved me about $1500

A 3 inch lift will not ruin the ride unless you get a cheap lift

[@jeep1987]

Even a six inch lift you'll b good just don't go with cheap and have it installed right ! You will be good I have had many lifted vehicles the only time you sacrifice the ride quality is when you don't do it right and or try to be cheap

I have a 2017. Put 285/75 R16s on it. No rubbing whatsoever. Fit fine. Putting a 3 front 2 rear lift on this weekend. Cost 270$. Probably go up to 35s next new set of tires and won’t be a problem.

This is great - I was a Jeep guy rocking 35s New Tacoma - it’s a 2x4 4cy crew cab - it’s my daily driver to take my bulldogs swimming. Once I learned about ECt button -- it actually drives like a truck -- pretty sure I can put 500k on it easy It’s a black on black w/ black rims w/only 24k miles …. Bought it cash for under 30k - 27k actually it’s got 9y 100k bumper to bumper coverage too. Wanted to find biggest lightest wheels w/out rubbing - no lift The fact that -10 offset 265/75/r16 is sand even w lift makes me think - just don’t lift I researched Tacoma world -- 4cl can handle 265/75/R16 no sweat -- Great video Good to know

Interesting. I just bought a brand new 2023 Tacoma TRD Off-Road last Friday. This last Monday I went over to one of our local off-road shops to start looking at mods. I ended up ordering some Bilstein 5100 shocks, MaxTrac 2.5" spacer kit, Fuel 16" wheels with a -6 offset with some Toyo MT's in yup, 265/75/R16. The lift is minimal and more for leveling but I will see a small increase in height. I stuck with the 265/75's because I don't want to ruin the ride but I will be taking the truck off-road fairly often and wanted the benefits of a little bit extra height and the benefit of a more aggressive and capable off-road tire. Stuff should come in and get installed on the 14th so we'll see how I like it. Great honest video, thanks for sharing.

[@xmacleod]

I've got a '21 Tacoma TRD Pro with the stock TRD Pro suspension and stock TRD Pro 16" wheels (Gulf coast version of the wheels, which is apparently different from everywhere else but I _think_ the offset is the same at +13mm, about an inch less "pokey-outty" than what Rob has here). I have 265/75R16 Falken Wildpeak AT3 tires on it. They measure just shy of 32" diameter top to ground at 35 PSI with the truck on level ground. They actually DO rub, but ONLY if I go over a bump with the steering at full lock. I agree, it's a great size tire, and I wouldn't go any bigger because you'll likely start a chain reaction of modifications to make everything work right. I've read somewhere online that 285/75R16 tires would fit a stock TRD Pro, but my experience distinctly says "no."

​@@scotmetcalf2745yes you are right but it takes such little work to get it all adjusted in people just don't know what they are doing then wonder why it rides rough haha

[@RobbDzzz]

Where the ride quality is lost the most is in the loss of down travel. Many lift as high as they can, when the wheel can’t drop independently of the truck, also putting the geometry at a disadvantage in the initial stroke of the shock/spring combo all causing a causing a harsh ride (the chosen shock and spring can can have an effect no doubt, but the single biggest issue is loss of down travel). Secondly unsprung weight is a large factor on both ride quality, handling and overall performance. I use a 285/70 17, load C that is lighter than a 265/75 16 load E. I give up absolute height (about 2” upfront over stock) for immaculate ride using extended travel fox coil overs so that my truck is sitting just over halfway above the middle of the travel. Truck rides like a well controlled Cadillac on the road and a sports car that loves to be pushed in the dirt. I will stipulate that the truck in stock form is far more capable than what most people will ever use, buy it drive it and adjust slowly. Do just wheels and tires as you suggest. The look is great ride should be pretty darn good and it’s much more cost effective if you don’t need or want that extra height or capability.

Highly recommend Bilstein 5100’s for front and back to remain in the stock ride.

[@codename_wind_official]

Great advice, more should listen to this advice unless you're going full-on off roading setup. Yes,bthe stock plush ride is worth way more to you. The tire size upgrade using hybrid off road treads looks great. Trim about 2" off that huge front lower valance plastic (the snow plow chin). Remove it but it can look bare and odd. Personal preference I don't like the look With OR Without the valance. The only real purpose of the valance is saving some buffeting at highway speed, it doesnt really matter. So followed lines, taped, sharpied and cut it with the electric grinder, tapered it and sanded. Looks stock. Also those super long stock front mud guards....take those off OR swap the front out with Husky guards, which are a good 2" shorter. Rears OEM and Husky are very similer. Not necessary to change those. Finally de-rust the rear drums and paint them with rustoleum semi-gloss black. Also paint the front calipers along with the inner section of the front rotors (only the part that shows when the wheel in on). Plenty of videos on the subject. However I recommend good taping and don't use spray. Use the brush-on can of rustoleum. Do a few coats and let it dry well. It'll be thicker and last longer. Don't paint the mating surfaces to the hub and the wheel. Looks great and doesn't cost much except a Saturday of time. All these little changes makes the stance look good and clean, while saving money and not wrecking the ride. Or having those spacers wreck your shocks, bottoming out and touching the arms. If its your everyday truck, and doesn't see any off road. With occasional Lowes and household duties. Guys dont spend 1000's, save your cash for fun stuff like vacations and trips. This is just a normal guy setup.

I would like to have some support in the rear so my suspension doesn't degrade over time. And I'm not eager to install a whole new suspension. Would your method in the video be my best option?

[@RobMotive]

That or more robust leaf springs.

Thank you Rob, I have a black 2021 Tacoma 4x4 Offroad and I like your tire option better. Keep it up with the good work. 😎

Thanks Jesse👍

I love my lift, ride is 100% better than stock. Bilstien 6112 up front, UCAs, OME coils for the added weight of winch and bumper. 5160 in the back with Eibach AAL. The stock shocks (bilstiens on TRD OR) are budget shocks. Truck measures 39” at the top of the fender well on all 4 corners now. the stock setup has the driver side lower than the passenger by about 3/8-1/2” depending on fuel load.

[@RobMotive]

Sounds good👍

[@user-ej1bq4bq2w]

What's the effect been on your mileage? Thinking about going the same route with 6112's and 5160's on 265/70 17's (wild peaks)

I installed a leveling kit, ride is factory ride because all it contains are blocks for rear and spacer for front springs. 2019 tacoma rides 100%

What brand and model tire are you running in this video?

[@gearhigher2027]

Rob you are 110% correct with the advice, the TRD concept is focused usually on nubes that don't understand the plus and minus of raising the truck. I think leveling the truck with spacers, in combination with taller tires gives a similar appearance at major cost savings.

[@robdawg700]

Did you add spacers? And if so how many inches and how does it ride?

[@gearhigher2027]

@@robdawg700 NO, I use an Eibach Suspension kit for that model BULLETPROOF!

[@pitbull912808]

What about a leveling kit

[@wesrobb-h3m]

Get the bilsteins 5100's best budget setup. And #1 shock sold. Kit for front n rear is around 500$ 0-2in lift 👌

[@morningdrums]

Im thinking of getting the 2023 tacoma trd off road. But i personally would like a lifted tacoma with some bigger off road on road tires.

[@RobMotive]

Nothing beats a lifted Tacoma🥰👍

[@kwmulligan]

Better hurry up there’s not many of them left they’re gonna be switching to the 24 model year real soon!

[@lanuch58]

Completely new to this but really enjoyed your video and love your setup. Looking to move from Ford Edge to Tacoma. So here's the stupid question (like I said, just learning about this). To get your -10 offset do you buy wheels with that offset or do you add spacers or something else? Thanks for your patience.

[@RobMotive]

Hey Robert! As they say..."No question is stupid"! Ask away! You can go either way actually (to move the wheels/tires out). However, I'd go with a negative offset wheel to achieve the goal👍

[@billdean.x]

How wide are your wheels?

[@RobMotive]

Same as stock👍

[@kevinkidneyy]

nice video ! i have my truck stock as well, i just changed my wheels to 265/70/r17 trd pro 4 runner wheels , wildpeaks at3 love the set up . your truck looks clean

How is the readylift sst 3” kit?

[@RobMotive]

It was a rougher ride. Also caused a tear in one of my CV axel boots (due to angle) I believe.

[@bobwoerner8731]

just bought a brand new 2023 sr4x4 tacoma. it has 245 75/r16 firestone destination le2 with the dark rim. i find the truck sitting lower than i like.used to the 1500 ram i traded in.i find i have to tilt my head to get into the tacoma also not crazy about the dark rims.would like to switch the rims to a crome color and put on tires that will raise the truck without having to install a lift kit ....any suggestions ?

[@RobMotive]

Nope. Without a lift, you will not be able to install any tire that would make any real difference.

[@bobwoerner8731]

@@RobMotive what about those leveling kits?

[@RobMotive]

That’s still a lift.

[@Medallo2706]

Hey Rob! I have a similar set up but with a -12 offset. I am rubbing a little and was curious to see if that was why you removed the front mud flaps? I believe that's where it is rubbing but I'm not 100% sure

[@RobMotive]

Definitely couldn’t have flaps with my setup.
