    Hey folks....just got a 2017 TRD Offroad Sport. Completely stock. A couple of questions....1) what is the recommended leveling height in front to match the stock rear height? 2) I'm ordering 17" wheels and tires....what size tire can I run without rubbing? 3) Will a -6 offset line up the tires to the edge of the fender flares?

    Thanks for your help. Looking forward to your pics.

    Thanks Hobbs, I'm reading tons of great stuff. I don't want to go wild, and try to keep the truck close to stock, and just level the front to match the rear, and get the right tires and wheels to compliment this.

    Thanks Piff. Can't seem to find much for anyone who left the rear at stock height.....only levelling the front.

    Here's a glimpse of what my setup should look like. Went with the RTX Baja wheels, which are 17x9 and will be fitted with BF KO2's in 265/70R17 tires in 10 ply. Local guy here levels Tacoma's using a kit which raises the rear by 2" and the front by 3".

    I will post some pics when all is done.

    I run 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3 with no rubbing whatsoever. Rest is stock minus the BS front spoiler which I took off.

    Up here, in snow country, those air-dam / spoilers are the first thing nature will remove for you during the normal course of business.
