Hello Trudra Gurus - My 03 Trundra Access Cab looks wimpy. I have read some of the suspension lift discussions and looked at some of the photo and I think this is one way to make my truck look meaner. I don't want to get crazy height. Just 2.5” and level at the most. What is the best way to go here, body lift or suspension lift? I love the ride of my truck and don’t want to change it to much. I was also thinking about changing my factory 16” wheels to factory or aftermarket 17” wheels. I figured the 17” wheels would make it look better and give it a little more lift. I am thinking about running with 265/70 or 265/65-17 tires. Any thoughts or advice here? As you tell from my posting I really don’t know much about lifts or tires and really need some good advice. Thanks in advance for the comments.
Thanks for the advice guys. A few more questions if I may. What do you mean by 3 5/8" back spacing? Does the 285 tire make it handel any better than a 265 tire? Are you guys experiencing any rubbing with these tires or did you have to make any other mods to stop it?
Imdone - I like your higth, what size spacer are you using and did you use the rear add a leaf or block kit? Any noise from the metal spacers? I am assuming both were from Cornfed.
Here's some pictures of my 2000 SR5 4X4 with Wheeler's coils only and 17x8 wheels with 3 3/4" BS and Bridgestone REVO P265/70R/17. It's a fairly basic mod and looks much better than stock (IMHO) and the ride is only slightly stiffer.

Thanks Again!
The 2.5" cornfed spacers. I have Supersprings helper springs in the rear.
No rear blocks.
The 3 5/8" backspacing is what will push the tire our far enough to keep it from rubbing.
My tires rub at full lock on the upper control arm but I don't have 3 5/8" back spacing.
