I would like to lift my truck, 2015 tacoma. example, leveling the “FRONT” to maybe a 3” lift over all. Does this hurt the truck over time? Does it hurt the handling? Does it hurt the value of the truck? It is strictly for looks. I don’t do any off roading, not to say i may use it going to fish some where off road. Does using the wheel spacer hurt the bearings? What should a person expect to pay to have this done? Are there brands of lift kits i should stay away from? Any advice will be appreciated.

If you are going to lift, don't use a spacer lift, been there and ended up replacing with a full suspension lift kit from Toytec including SPC upper control arms. Many will chime in here with lots of info for you. All kinds of lift kits available. My truck is a 2015 double cab, v6, 4x4, auto, 33" tires, 3" lift.
--- FITMENT INFO NEEDED for transition to 32 x 10.50 tires using STOCK steel wheels after lift ---
Greetings. I'd like this info pls from anyone with experience: Once my truck is lifted w/a 3" (approx.) sus lift, can I just mount the aforementioned tire size on the stock steelers and drive away happy? Or do I need to adjust the backspacing for clearance? If I have to add wheel spacers to my Toy stock wheels, what size spacers? Do I need to replace the lugs? Thank you!!!
More info:
I'm in the process of lifting my '15 Tacoma, 2.7L 4WD, man trans, extended cab. I have been in contact w/Bilstein Lifts support and they have been helpful. Certain 2015's, according to Bil. Lifts, aren't all exactly the same on the "inside". They make it clear on their site, certain rear shock choices do not fit as expected. I attached a screenshot showing their recommended "no hassle" kit for a 3" sus lift for my truck. (for light off-roading, not racing around @ hi speed on rough terrain.) I plan to keep my Toy OEM 16" x 7" steelers; just gonna paint them black. I have searched for specs on Toy factory wheels, and no results I've found so far indicate what the backspacing is on these wheels. So if I were to buy spacers, if they're even needed, I need that info to do the math.

How did you make out on your lift? I’m curious if you’ve lifted it and if you’re happy with it.
thanks.
