Trd lift kit with 17x7 Sema wheels... But what tires?

That's great ! Did you notice much difference with braking or acceleration with larger tires ?

 

Feels like a heavier ride. Which honestly I'm used to coming from a Nissan titan for the last 7 years.

I feel less floaty and more grounded. Sound isn't too noticeable and I genuinely have no complaints.

 

Had my TRD Lift Kit installed today. So far I’m very impressed and can’t wait to do a little wheel & tire shopping. I can brown bag lunch for awhile…

 

Your tires/wheels look small with the lift kit lol
I'm waiting for my Barcelona Red dcsb Mt to come in then trd lift kit and exhaust.

Looks good !

 

Here she is with 265/70R17 Falken Wildpeaks

 

Thanks for the updates man! It looks great! I'm going to go with the exact same setup on my 2022 when it gets here in a few weeks.

 

Lookin' good man!

 

They will rub at full lock when compressed in the front. Mine do and I have an Icon UCA and Icon 2.5" lift. It's not terrible and I only need to trim a little bit of the fender flare and do a small amount of heatgun to the fender liner and they'll be fine.

 

Can tell you without a doubt mine have never rubbed once. I have stock uca's and a trd factory lift kit. 2" front 1" back on trd pro sema wheels

 

Just curious but have you stuffed the front while wheeling it yet? That's when mine rubbed. The rest of the onroad time is fine.

 

You can hear the rub (drivers front is rubbing and you can see the marks on the tire from it):

I don't go wheeling.

 

Was it rubbing where the stock mudflaps go? That area has a hard plastic/lip from the fender flares that's only visible when you take off the stock mudflaps.

 

It was a bad alignment. It was rubbing on the plastic back edge at full lock and when compressed. I found out that when the wife took it to the dealership they told her the alignment was not stock and that it should be set back to stock (even though I had a lift and bigger tires installed). Took it back to my alignment guy and he's got it fixed. Zero rubbing now.

 

Okay good copy, so for alignments you would recommend I should get a good Off-roading Shop to get it done instead of going to a PepBoys or the Dealership? (my last alignment was in Pepboys, it was pulling less but still pulls to the right and I feel the steering wheel a little loose, like its not stable). I'm running 265/70r17 on the SEMA Wheels.

 

Doesn't necessarily have to be an offroad shop but I'd definitely go find a good alignment shop. You're better off with someone who specializes in it than pep boys or the dealer.

 

Dealership did my alignment. No issues at all. Charles Toyota in Norwich CT.

 

Good to hear that at least one of them is competent.

Not sure why they told my wife it needed to be stock. With the lift, aftermarket UCAs, bigger tires etc. someone should have known.

 

Back for an update:

Took the truck to a shop that specializes in custom 4x4 (so they do their own alignments), he got the truck running straight and I definitely feel the truck is more stable now on highway speeds, no more wobbly steering wheel or excessive bump steering. He even quoted me for suspension setup prices if I plan to lift in the future (probably after new years).
