    I just recently put 285-75-16 on my 2021 Tacoma 6mt. I feel like the stock 4.30’s are too high. Anyone have suggestions on what they have done to fix the issue.

    I’d go straight to 5.29s for 33’s. I had 5.29s on smaller tires and while the rpm was a bit high (it would be less on 33’s), I really liked how it drove compared to stock. Mpg didn’t really suffer unless I was pushing over about 80.
