    What would I need to do to fit 33's?
    Anyone that has them, did you re-gear your truck? If not how much of a difference did it make on your MPG's.

    What is the stock gear ratio on my 2020 TRD sport v6 3.5l?
    3.909?

    On a serious note. Just use the Search bar, there is tons of info on running 33 inch tires here. Look up CMC (cab mount chop), and check out the mega 5.29 and 4.88 threads. Fill out your info page more as well, auto or manual trans? List any mods you have or just put bone stock.

    4in suspension lift on 33's
    I have 33x12.50 on 17x9-12 wheels. I did a 4/3 lift which netted me 3.5” in the front and 3” in the rear. I also did after market upca which gave me +3.6 caster. My truck is a 2020 DCLB. I only have had a little tire rub when I was running a couple trails out at browns camp with my sway bar disconnected. When my sway bar was connected I got ZERO rub.

    A post like this is added VERY often. Everyone who's lifted is running between a 32-34" tire... A 285/70r17 is the most popular imo, and there is a sweet tire size calculator on tacomaworld that tells you roughly what that measure... With this size tire, even with a 3" lift, you are still going to have to trim, especially if you wheel. You will see a couple people who are doing it without, but I'd assume they are mostly street driven. (Nothing wrong with that)

    A 6" lift will allow you to run 33s as well, with less trimming.

    There are so many variables to the answer of this question, but you can do it, you just may have to do a little bit more than what you thought you were going to have to. As for a regear? This is entirely up to you and what your doing. Do you NEED a re gear? No. May you WANT a re gear? Maybe. Look up 3rd generation gear ratio chart.

    I'm stock suspension except for a leveled front end. I did the CMC and pinch weld and some inner fender trimming. No rubbing on 285s.

    4in suspension lift on 33's
    I had som rear driveline vibes that got corrected with carrier bearing spacer. up front the lift kit came with a diff drop and I haven’t experienced any front end vibes but just for precautionary reasons I’m doing the ecgs bushing this weekend. For lift I went with https://4x4.fatbobsgarage.com/toyot...orce-suspension-package-2005-2019-p33238.aspxand for upca I went with https://www.suspensionconnection.co...MIxrW8kaXM5wIVD9VkCh1ZUQ2SEAQYAyABEgLZsfD_BwE also I bought the truck with 3 miles on it. I lifted with 20 miles on it. It now has 4200miles and I’ve had zero issues with it so far.

    This is what I was thinking about doing, but I've read a lot of things that have scared me away from it. Have you personally had any issues? @Thunder Fist

    Keep it stock, there is alot more to lifting these trucks than just installing a set of coilovers. Do lots of research before you buy anything. Good luck with your truck.

    I did, in fact, use a spacer. No need to be scared of that. No change in ride quality. No issues off roading. They’ve been on there for a while now through all kinds of conditions. I’d know by now if there was going to be problem.

    I got it from @HeadStrong Off-Road. Shoot them a dm and they’ll tell you what to measure to make sure you get the right size.
