    2002 Prerunner with a 3” OME lift running 17” FN FX PRO rims and can’t remember the size of tire.

    it’s been two years on this setup without a regear.

    I need to know what to buy, what will be best for a lot of freeway miles, and I will pay someone to put it on.

    thank you!!

    Tire size is critical, literally the most important piece of data for this potential answer.

    Repost when you have the tire size. Until then it’s pointless. If there’s a radar display near you (3 averaged against the same tachometer speed is better) include that and the gear you’re in since your current speedometer is likely off. The tire size tool can help you compare that and your current diff with possible options and how they would change your engine speed at highway speeds.
