    After I level my 2013 trd I was looking to level it then just go with new tires and wheels don't want to go real big just enough to look good and wider if possible for easy for having to take air out of them to drive on the beach, wondering good sizes to go with. Looking for anyone to post pics of their ride if they have lifted just minimally with nice tire and wheel sets so I can get some ideas, hoping anyone has insight or thoughts of just putting a 3 inch front and 1 1/2 leveling kit on it to get a nice package on it like 275 please. If so can you please leave info like tire sizes and if you had to do any other mods after the lift. Thanks in advance.

    Jefffro, no way I can answer your questions b/c I don't know 'dick' about the subject BUT I would also be interested in other's suggestions. The only problem I have is the dealer told me that it would void my warrenty. However, they would do it for me for 1000 bucks but only they would honor the warrenty, not Toyota!!! How crazy is that?

    I will just have to deal with anything that minor happens to it I am a mechanic at a powerplant so will be able to tackle most issues if anything come up but as long as I do it right should not have to worry.

    Under law they cant void your warranty if you have a lift etc. Unless its proven the cause is the lift/mod.

    I would advise against a top plate spacer lift, I originally had one, and it was rougher than I anticipated. After about a year and a half I replaced it with 5100's and 885 coils. Thats a good bit more lift than you were talking about but just my .02

    With that being said, I have a pro comp level lift kit for the front sitting in my garage.

    Well most people I have talked to have said that they have not really noticed any change in the ride, I am looking to do the kit that takes the front end up 3 inches and rear 1.75 to lift but also level. That is the spacer above the spring in the front and block under leaf. Looking to put a nice 285 or 275 tire underneath of it.

    Yea, thats exactly the set up I had before. I had no problems with it, but my shocks were going bad so I just replaced it all right away.

    When you had that set up what size tires did you go with and did you have to do any trimming I don't want to have to cut any plastic.
