    2 inch leveling kit,Lo Pro tonneau cover, 17x9 Fuel Vapor with Wildpeak AT3W 285/70,
    Hello I just purchased a 2017 SR5 4x2 Double Cab Short Bed. I recently did a 2" leveling kit by rough country and added 17x9 Fuel Vapor, wrapped in Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285/70 tires. I am currently on stock suspension but thinking of doing Bilstein 5100s not sure yet.

    Welcome. Contact marie@headstrongoffroad & get the 5100s. You won’t be disappointed. They are in the vendor section.

    I came from a 2005 trd sport & put on the 5100s. Rides like I’m use to. Little to no body sway on on/off ramps

    Bigbunzlike the tire size I am using on those wheels are 285/75R17 and I have not had any issues at all. It' a smooth and comfortable ride with a little bit cab noise.

    Sorry I guess I am looking for more feedback on the rims. I love them but I want to be sure of fit and finish. do you know Backspace, Offset, were you able to reuse your TPMS? Also what color did you get? Thanks for you help with this man. Truck looks great!

    I apologize the rims are black the offset I believe was 12mm offset they are 17x9 and yes the TPMS works with them. The backspacing i am not to sure. They are easy yo keep clean as well just due to the color.
