I recently purchased a 2007 TRD, I live on a farm and do a lot of off-roading. The truck is on 245s, off-road the front suspension is smooth, but the rear feels like it's going to get snatched out...is that due to bad shocks possibly? Also I am thinking about lifting the truck and running 265 or 275s what lifts are recommended? I read a thread that said not to do spacers. How bad would a doing this mess with my fuel economy? I am in college and have a limited budget. Thanks

 

If its a true TRD then 245s are the wrong size tires.

 

What size do you recommend? I am also in the market for new tires and was looking into 265/70-16 or 265/75-16 BFG All Terrains.

 

Is it a 4 banger?

 

Nope, a V6 Double Cab.

 

265/75/16 will fit stock with no lift. If you off-road, then you should buy Bilstien 5100 shocks for the lift. If your truck is really a TRD model, your tires should've already been that size btw, so you should get stock MPG.

Is it a Sport (hood skewp)
Or OffRoad (rear locking diff)

 

Off Road. I plan on adding 5100s to both the front and the rear in a about six months though.

 

I suggest saving your money until then. Don't waste your money on a spacer lift if you plan to change out the shocks soon anyways. How much do you plan to lift?

 

I was thinking just 1 inch in the front. Not looking for anything too drastic.

 

Any suggestions on where do buy them and/or have them installed?

 

Just stick with 265/75/16 then and you will be fine. You can try a 32" tire if you're okay with trimming a bit. As for the actual tires, I've heard nothing but good about the new BFG KO2s. That's what I plan on buying next.

 

I'm not sure. It depends on your area I guess. Theres probably a thread on here to show you how to install them yourself if you got the tools and time.

 

I'll look around. Thanks for the help!

 

On my 05' I had 265/75/16 Toyo AT's.... no lift... no rub at all

 

No problem.

 

On my 2010 I have 265/75 16 duratracs no rubs

 

I figured 265 was stock because my speedometer is off. Guy who had it before downsized the tires for better fuel economy I guess.

 

Thanks! I'm still trying to learn how to work this forum stuff. I got a picture of it uploaded into my profile and media I think. Its with my old truck. Haven't had time to take many good pictures

 

The tire sizes are also on the vin

 

Okay thanks! The Bilstein 5100 Shocks, you said for the lift, you mean have them along with the lift or they lift?
