Jake and Eric from Mountain Yodas delve into the feasibility of fitting 33-inch tires on a Toyota Tacoma, highlighting necessary modifications and their implications. They stress the importance of a minimum 2.5-inch lift, body mount chop, and potentially some inner fender trimming to avoid tire rub. The duo advises against puck or spacer lifts, recommending a Bilstein setup for better ride quality and durability. Additionally, upgrading to high-quality upper control arms, such as those from Dirt King, is emphasized to prevent rapid wear on ball joints when the truck is lifted. They underscore the advantages of 33-inch tires, including affordability, minimal modifications, and improved off-road performance, suggesting 17-inch rims with 285/70/17 or 33×12.50 tire sizes. They end by inviting viewer engagement through comments and social media.
