    I'm impatient! I can't handle these craptastic Dunlop AT-20's anymore. Besides I have an x-mas bonus burning a hole in my pocket.

    I paid right around a grand for a set of 4 285/75/16 duratracs with mounting at the tire factory goodyear place off dowling across from Napa. That was 2 or 3 years ago though.

    I called them, they're right around the corner from me. 265/70/17 DuraTrac in C Load rating were $309/tire + install and going to take a 7-10 days to ship up from Portland. So I decided to just order them from Amazon with faster/free shipping.

    Even if they won't mount them, you can buy them and have them mounted at a shop of your choice. I do this often.

    Can't blame you there.

    Jeez that's ridiculous (the local price). I've ordered tires from Amazon via prime multiple times for other vehicles and can't complain! Plus the shipping is super fast

    Ordered them Wed night and shipped this morning. They'll show up at my office on Monday. I do find it pretty hilarious that they're coming from 4 different locations around the US. Two from California (two different cities), one from Ohio, and another from Mississippi.

    That is pretty funny, I believe i've seen that's happened to some people before when ordering tires through Amazon, but hey at least you get them! Also if you ever have to return your tires with amazon (which i had to do once because i changed my mind), they make it super easy, and they will arrange them to be picked up from your address which is super convenient

    My dad's 2014 Tundra Crew Max got some OME installed by GTF.

    Sitting on 295/70/18 Cooper ST Maxx
    18x9 XD Series Bully Wheels
    3 inch OME Suspension

    It does sit slightly nose high but it's not crazy and it should settle a bit up front, in the first 2 pictures it is sitting slightly uphill

    Details of suspension? Was the rear suspension beefed up? I'm hoping to get one soon... :fingerscrossed:

    Complete OME Tundra Suspension from ToyTec Lifts

    Front 90018 Shocks
    Heavy 613 Coils for 5.7L V8 and Double Cab
    Rear 60100 Shocks
    Front Diff Drop Kit
    Rear 1 Inch Block Kit

    We would've done an AAL in the back but they didn't offer one with the complete kit and I didn't notice until later that it was offered totally separate, but it's a pavement princess and a commuter (quite the vehicle for a commuter lol) so a 1 inch block isn't too bad. ToyTec recommends the 1 inch block for leveling and they say that a 1.5" or 2" block might leave the back higher than the front so we just did the 1 inch. It rides like a dream
