    They are quiet so that’s cool. I wanted to get the st maxx but I couldn’t justify the extra $70x5. Not sure why for the 34s it’s a $70 difference and for the 33s it’s Only a $20.

    Agreed, I’d leave it. Loaded with gear it’ll sit perfect, maybe after the fronts settle you could bring it up a hair.

    I'm running all 4 pods on the same harness and the high output harness is dual output so it's all prewired and all it needed was a 2 way splitter on each end for 4 total pods. I also wanted the option to have the 20in light bar possibly yd in as well if I wanted in the future. So, mostly for sake of ease is the answer.

    That’s what has held me back especially towing. I do it now with skinny, heavy, 33’s so idk how much difference they really would make

    I installed this new Rigid light bar to replace the $100 piece of shit one I bought off of Amazon (and quit working after six months). My wife would kill me if she knew how much I paid for this.

    A Pedal Commander will make it quicker than stock with taller tires and no regear. It won't help much on long hills but that's one of the reasons why your trucks transmission has multiple gears, it's ok to use them.

    Brakes is where you'll experience the worst of the negative affects of taller tires. Install a Tundra booster and MC and it'll stop quicker than stock with much less brake pedal pressure required, even with much larger than stock tires.

    Around $300 for the Pedal Commander and if you go with used on the brake upgrade like I did you'll have less than $200 into that upgrade.

    Regearing is fine tuning, if it was a pig before it'll be a pig after. Manually shifting the gear that the transmission is in is exactly the same as regearing, it changes the engines RPM.
