Tires, lift, or other: Opinions wanted

OK, so tax time freed up a little spending. I've got about 500 to spend and am looking for the best way to do it. The two big items for the truck would be new tires or a lift.

Tires: I'm still running stock AT20 dunlops with 45000 miles on them. I was planning on putting new tires on before next winter assuming they last until then. When I do upgrade, I was hoping to go a size up to 265/70/r17 or 265/75/r16 if I can find used OR rims for cheap.

Lift: Would be Bilsteins all around, with a possible Eibach (1.6") springs in the front, and a ToyTec AAL for TSBs in the back (~1" because of cap).

Other: I'd like to tint my front windows. There's a scratch on my passenger side door that needs buffed out (not sure on the cost for a shop to do this). Possibly a grillcraft grille. OEM tube steps or running boards (for the wife and her short friends )

Let me know your thoughts. Looking for opinions.

 

tires

 

Tires. Replacing those dunlops will give your truck a WHOLE new look.

 

tires and tint. match the back tint with mud terrain tires and you'll be set

 

Tires first then lift.

 

If I go tires, AT are the most aggresive they'll get. Unfortunately this truck is mostly a street truck. I'm kind of looking at Kumho KL61s. They have a 60000 mile tread warranty and are supposedly snowflake rated. Not extremely aggresive looking though. Options are still open on that though.

As for a tint. Does that run people around $100? Is is better to have this done in the winter or summer?

 

X2.

 

tires, then matching back window tint

 

rims....i thought my trd sport rims were hideous so i got some eagle 185's

 

I'd say you could easily get the fronts done for under $100. I just got my truck tinted yesterday and all 4 doors and back window were going to run $160. I paid $230 for what I ended up getting tinted.

 

get tires and look out for some used billys for the front on here.

are you gonna tint all 4 or just the front?

I hope you didnt pay more for darker tint? Tint costs the same no matter the darkness....

 

DUDE YOU GOT TIRES, WORK THE SUSPENSION, YOU CAN ALWAYS GET TIRES WHEN YOU GET THE RIDE THE WAY YOU LIKE IT FIRST.

 

LOVE that cap..I just bought an Undercover saturday LOL ......Think it is going on Criagslist... Going to look for a cap.

 

What % tint is legal on the front and passenger side windows? In canada my buddy got pulled over twice and told to remove his tint but it was like a limo tint. I wanna do my front windows to match but i'm afraid it will be too dark

 

Zero tint is legal. Meaning, any amount of tint is illegal...
