    Hi.....I actually checked in here in March of this year, the month the wife and I cleaned house. I took my 2012 E-350, 2008 Pilot, and my wifes, 2004 CTS down to the dealer and came home with cherry red 2018 Camry and 4 door SR5 4x4 in mag gray. So now that Ive put 11k on the truck I have questions. I'm talking to the service guys at the dealer about "leveling" the truck with bilsteins in the front and putting more rubber on the ground without messing up the wonderful handling. Been taking it up to Sun Valley Idaho and eastern Sierras. So I'm reading around the site at other up grades and tire sizes. Is there a walkthrough on here on how to post pics?.....oh, I live in San Diego Kalifornia.

    thanks Lee

    There’s plenty of information on this topic in the suspension section. I’d suggest you look there! Lots of options out there
