I've got a 2002 Tacoma Double Cab and I will be getting tires soon. I will be getting 265/75 tires mounted on the factory wheels. If anyone has any photos of this setup I would really like to see them. I know those tires will fit without a lift but I am planning on lifting the front and rear just a little to make it look a litter bigger. I would love to hear your recomendations and advice on what small lift to get and where to buy.

Thanks, Jason

Nice truck

I unfortunately don't have any pics but I can tell you that my BFG MTs fit just fine 265/75R16.

The only problem is that it rubs against the frame of the truck when you're cranking the steering wheel all the way around or driving over an obstacle. I have a nice patch of metal gleaming from where the tires have rubbed.

I'm planning on going OME all around when I eventually save up the $$.

Sorry, just realized a better answer...
For a small lift (up to 3" or so) you can try cornfed spacers from here:

I've heard nothing but good things about these things. Some people have mentioned that they prematurely compress your springs. Others say that that's not a possibility.

Take a look at my photos page. In the shots with the stock wheels, the truck was sitting on 265/75R16's with 3" of lift.

Thanks for the post guys!!

Rob, What 3" lift were you using and how did you like it?

Thanks, jason

First it was the Revtek spacer lift. It was overpriced for what you get and had the drawbacks of any spacer lift, including compressing/fatiguing the TRD progressive springs and crappy blocks in the rear. The Cornfed kit would have been a better bet.

Then I had the Fabtech/Fox rebuildable coilovers. Again, a bit overpriced for what you get. Excellent ride. Easy to adjust height to suit. Downside is you have to refill/rebuild them from time to time.

Finally, I installed the SAW coilovers. Priced better than the Fab's. Better/heavier springs. Tundra valved. Downside, need to be periodically recharged. Springs seem to be sagging faster than the Fab's did.
