I've had my 06 TRD Tacoma 4x4 for a couple years now, put 35,000 on the tires, they're sort of getting to the point of being done, so it might be time to replace them before I move back to Tahoe next month.

I was debating going bigger for better clearance and a more aggressive tread. Has anyone done a 3" to 4" lift on your Tacoma?

Any issues?
How's the MPG?
How big a tire did you go to?
Anything you'd do different?
Can I run a bigger tire (32", 33") on the stock rims?

I have got an '05 taco with a daystar spacer lift (not the way to go IMO) I run 285's on Ultra Rims with 4" BS and rub the body mount periodically at full lock and compression. I have got a set of studded 285's mounted on the stock TRD Rim that I run during the winter. The BS spacing is not enough with the stock rims (4.5" I think) I get get a lot of rubbing on the stock UCA when running those rims. If you lift I would consider different rims though a lot of folks seem to be fine with them, they may have upgraded their UCA's and using a Coil lift vs. spacer probably nets better clearance....

MPG is not too bad, about 17 MPG combined, it is a truck not a PRius

I'm waiting for my Skyjacker 3" lift to arrive. Mine will be all new springs, shocks, and struts. Unfortunately, Skyjacker is out of the struts right now and I have to wait on them to make them.

The way I figure it, I need new tires. But I eventually want to lift it and go with bigger tires, and don't want to buy new ones now, then buy them again later to get a size that matches the lift. So I went ahead and ordered the lift.

Might as well do it all at once.

2.5" Lift Bilstein 5100's & Alcan AAL's on 32" Cooper STT's
I should have gone with 33's.
No issues... I normally get ty MPG anyways... I get about 15mpg.

We had to get some more lug nuts for the special rims the owner purchased but should have pics by the end of the week I hope. The lift looks great!
