      Lifting a truck should be openly recognized as a unnecessary act to achieve maximum testosterone levels. I think if more men came to terms with this there would be less external pressure to lift your truck. Sounds silly when you think about it. My stock Tacoma is plenty high enough coming from a carolla, the idea that it should be lifted beyond its 9.4 clearance is completely useless. If you wanted a higher stance on the road, buy a larger truck with that extra money.

    • @RobMotive

    @RobMotive question would it be better to level a 2017 Tacoma SR5 or lift it? I don't plan on doing any off roading but I want the truck to look more aggressive. Yes I plan on replacing the rims and tires with a negative offset rim and 275/65/17 tires but I don't want to sacrifice ride quality any advice?

    • @RobMotive
      @RobMotive  3 года назад +1

      Leveling and lifting are the same thing. What you’re asking is really the angle you’re achieving. That depends on the look you prefer. You will sacrifice some degree of ride quality. Whether or not it negatively affects you depends on how sensitive you are to it. More aggressive (harder tire material) tires will also worsen ride quality.

  • @828findadventure
    @828findadventure 3 года назад +8

    Good morning, so my 2017 Tacoma has a 2" front and 1.5" rear Toytec lift with one inch larger Yokohama Geolander AT GO15 tire 265/75/16 (No rubbing). The truck sits level with my 200-pound truck topper and stuff in the back. NOW, Rob is completely correct about a lift costing a lot more because it opens you up to a huge money pit in m modifications. BUT, when you installed or had installed a lift did they tell you about the infamous Needle Bearing issue. Yes, the low roaring noise you will hear when driving at 30-40mph in your Tacoma after a lift is installed. There is a fix for the needle bearing that is stressed at the lifted angle, but it cost another $75 plus labor to install. It just keeps adding up. LOL but I still do it.

      I had the same setup you are describing on my Tacoma for 10 years. Additionally I had the differential drop as well. It was nice but I did notice sagging when loading up the bed or hooking up a small trailer. My CV axles and ball joints lasted 130k miles and due to needing to go in there and replace parts, I opted to upgrade to a trail pro lift from Wheelers Offroad and it was a dramatic increase and that really looks good and matched the newly added bumpers and winch.

I traded it in and got a 2021 with a lift and grapplers and now I get 15-16 MPG on the highway. With a full tank of gas I get 268 miles.

    Curious about your take. I plan to lift my 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport 2 inches in the front and whatever it takes to level out the rear. Presently I have 265 65 R17 Duratrac tires. I plan to upsize slightly to 265 70 R17 Duratracs and keeping the stock 17 inch rims. The lift will include Bilstein 5100s. In your experienced opinion would you say I am safe regarding any rubbing? I have seen charts showing the 265 70s being safe even with a stock height, but I figured I would check with you as well. The place I would have the work done is used by the Toyota dealer here to subcontract lifts for customers. Another point. The decrease in gas mileage with the larger tires and raised suspension can be offset to some extent with a tonneau cover, which I plan to purchase (Bakflip Mx4).

  • @CORDONJ70
    @CORDONJ70 3 года назад +2

    Currently at Stock height but was debating lifting soon but after watching this video I think I’m gonna stick with the stock TRD OF suspension and just slap bigger tires and black wheels until I need a suspension. That’ll give me time to save up in case the lift causes problems.

    It’s a domino effect. One thing effects another. Like you said, when you lift it now you need bigger tires. Then depending on your lift you may need to re-gear or re-angle you driveshaft better and so on and so on. One can easily spend a lot of $$$$ to do everything right. Unless you can do it yourself and save some money.

  • @alexgarcia3900
    @alexgarcia3900 3 года назад +6

    I personally have 2 3rd gen tacomas and the only thing I would recommend is getting some good tires, and armor, (sliders, skidplates, etc) and a rear steel bumper. Other then that it's probably better to just get jeep or a dedicated off road vehicle. The tacomas are extremely capable 4x4s with the exception of a bad departure angle (you will rip your rear bumper off) ask me how I know.
    Obviously if you have the money and if you want to then do whatever you want. All I'm saying is that it's probably not necessary and a stock tacoma will do the job just fine.
    Anyway this is only an opinion.

      I agree. I want a lift on my trd DCLB. But what I have done for now is a more aggressive tire, I plus sized to 265/75r16 and then I put on a "cat shield" but the HD skid plate version. No bumpers yet. My thought is if I can get down some access paths gravel roads here in the PNW to my fishing locations and some really offgrade camping spots then I'm fine. I really like the stance of a lifted Tacoma but I actually also like that I'm averaging 20 mpg. I would lose that with 285s

  • @gailmaplesden7380
    @gailmaplesden7380 2 года назад +3

    The negatives go on with wear and tare on bushings,ball joints and drive train components. Your gas mileage goes down to the point where you might as well have bought a full size truck. Going with a full set of bilstien 5100 shocks , going 2 inches max with stock springs and a 1 inch spacer in the back is perfect. Spacer pucks on the front differential and carrier spacers to mitigate vibration help . Tires should be kept narrow and tall like a 235 75 or 245 85 depending if you keep the stock 7.5 x17 rim . This keeps your speedometer from going nuts and maintains your tire pressure sensors.

    Bigger tires, also put a strain on the drivetrain and transmission not to mention, it robs you of gas mileage and power!

    What really lifts a truck is big tires . You can lift it all you want but the axle is still the same height from the floor.
    Im getting 33’s in the future with that cab mount relocate.
    Cheaper n still lifts the truck a bit.

    I see your point but you also forgot to mention a few other things besides doing a body chop mount/Pinch weld mod,You also have to regear the transmission,And obtain a new driveshaft as well because it will only be a small matter of time before your trans & driveshaft will be in serious need of repair.

    • @RobMotive
      @RobMotive  2 года назад

      Depends on what lift you install. I haven't experienced these problems👍
