Aesthetics of lifted SR5

Good to know. Maybe I will downsize to a 3 inch.

 

I wouldn’t personally describe my truck as “douchey” looking. Currently running a 3” lift and 285/75/17 tires (~34”).

Regardless of your lift amount or tire size, if there was an OR, Sport or even a Pro with the same setup they would be nearly identical cosmetics wise. Different trim levels may come with different tire or rim sizes, but other than that the trucks are essentially the same.

 

I keep it at 3” just because the truck looks more level. And yes, my wife is 5’ nothing and it’s a little bit of a jump for her. I do have a set of Cali Raised rock sliders on order. I went with the trail edition ones just for that reason...

 

And in addition, I am concerned with CV axle angles until I can upgrade my axles. I hope to do that as soon as the budget allows

 

I’m thinking of going up to your size on my tires after the current ones are worn out. Did you need to flatten the pinch weld at all on the inner fender? My wheel is a -24 offset. I’m slowly hoping to work my way up to a 35” tire.

 

I hammered the pinch weld flat as well as a CMC. My biggest issue was getting the tires to clear the bumper, especially the drivers side.

 

Thanks for sharing. I appreciate the info. I’ll do the pinch weld this weekend. And I’ve already been thinking about doing the “viper” cut to my front bumper. New tires will be my motivator

 

I didn’t have to cut any part of my bumper that is visible. I was able to cut around 1” off of it on the inside portion, and then push my fender liners around an inch forward and then reattach.
