    2014 TRD Off Road
    Chrome tube steps and front skid plate
    Hello everyone,
    I'm new to TW and I just got a 2014 Off Road DC SB with chrome tube steps and front skid plate. I ordered the TRD exhaust to get a secure fit and better sound. Also wanting Fuel Trophy 17" wheels and some AT tires. Any suggestions on tires? I've heard Toyo or BFG. And I don't know how to calculate wheel size to tire size. I'm better with firearms.. There's a long list of things I want down the road, so I'll throw a few out there for discussion; Bakflip tonneau cover, TRD CAI, and a grill guard. Are there any lifts out there that are easy on the ride? I've been told any lift will stiffen the ride, so I'm on the fence right now. Any input is appreciated.

    Check this thread out. Gives a lot of good detail and can help you find the type of lift for your needs.

    Toytec lift kits with AAL & Bilstein 5100 and eibach coils. You can get between 1.25-2.75" in lift depending on how you set them. It will be slightly stiffer than stock but should ride well overall. And it wont cost a bunch.

    If you want something a little tougher check out Old Man Emu. Thats my 2cents. I am not lifted yet but I have been trolling here for well over a year. OME will be what I get as I hope to have an "Overland" rig at some point.

    Thanks Spoon93, just what I was looking for. Great info despite being an introduction forum. Truly appreciate it. I didn't know I could get a 2" Toytec. I may go with that but I'll check out the OME as well. Cheers!
