    @Solenya - Thank you sir. Those pics were before the lift. I did have a little rubbing. Had to remove the front mudflaps as they rubbed a little on full turns. After the lift I was able to put them back on with no rubbing.

    These pics are after the lift. 5100's all around, 885 OME springs, and Icon 3-leaf AAL.

    Awesome! How much lift did that setup give you?

    @Solenya - With the 885s I got the expected 1 3/4" exactly. Got a little over an inch on the rear.

    Did you recently call? I'm planning on getting these wheels soon, and am curious so I can plan ahead.

    I waited about 90 days for my wheels but it's worth the wait. These wheels are freakin' awesome and the quality is top notch.

    Awesome looking truck!

    I'm really leaning to going towards this exact same setup. How's the overall ride on road with the lift? Do you plan on adding anything to the centre caps? Also, what kind of skid plate is that? :D

    Thanks @TacomaPilot86, I appreciate that.

    The ride is honestly not that different that stock (which is what I wanted). Smoothed out the nose dive a little when stopping. Very happy with it. Bought the shocks and coils off ebay using those 15% off coupons they have been running from time to time so overall I'm very pleased with the cost and the end result. Been thinking about red TRD stickers for the center caps but haven't done anything yet.

    That is an RCI aluminum skid plate I picked up during their last TW sale. Love it and don't have to drop it when I change my oil like the factory splash guard.

    Good luck with your build!

    Same crap everyone else got
    Is the matte black the same as the matte black trd pro wheel? Most pics i've seen makes them look more shiny but could just be the light.

    I want these in black. Can the Toyo tires that came with my truck fit on them? P255/65 R17? I'd hate buy new tires.

    Edit: Just ordered me a set of these. Dustin is is awesome. Answered all of my questions when I called and spoke to him. He did say they are about a month on back order.

    I've been waiting about a month and just got a shipping notice yesterday!!! So excited! I did play slightly more than I would have for TRD pro wheels but these being lighter, different color options, wider, and Dustin living up to his great customer service rep made my choice easy. He may not always answer the phone or answer text right away but I understand how busy he is and just know he will get back with you and answer any question you have.

    My experience with Dustin is exceptional!
    My FN Pro bronze wheels will be arriving tomorrow according to FedEx. I’m switching out my FN Pro dark gray gloss ones.
    Taco TRD 2016 got totaled because of Harvey.
    Got a QS 2017 TRD....

    Do you mind sharing details about any suspension upgrades, rubbing issues and tire brand/size?

    Yours looks great.

    Thanks!
    I did tons of reading on TW lifts etc., pros/cons etc and on ReadyLifts.
    And on the web.
    So figured out what was best and most applicable for me.

    On my current 2017 TRD OR:
    Zero rub even when cranked all the way to turn going up or down an upgrade.

    What I desired:
    Better ride/dampening via the Bilsteins.
    A slight lift and wanted to level the truck.
    Didn't need a hard core lift package for the kind of driving/use I do, and with that in mind wanted to keep the costs minimal but still good for the truck.

    Tires: 265/70/17 Nitto G2 Terra Grapplers
    Bilstein 3rd gen 5100 all around, set on 1 up front if I remember correctly, to level truck.
    ReadyLift, this particular one fits the Tacoma 2016+ : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IOYRF6G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I got the Readylift on a Amazon Gold box deal, paid $169.75 I just looked, it's $227 now.

    Bought Bilsteins from Headstrong, Marie who is super knowledgeable, super service, got to my house like in 3 days after ordering:
    $339.99

    Installed Readylift and Bilsteins at a local off-road shop for $480. He checked the alignment, didn't need one.
    I talked to him quite a bit about ReadyLifts and block lifts in general, etc.
    He agreed for what I was doing driving wise, it was fine.

    Most of my off-roading is beach/sand, some out west in Big Bend National Park on gravel, sand, rock and also took a trip out to Moab. Can't say I did any off-roading that you had to have 4x4 engaged other than sand.
    The 'good' thing with the Readylift is that it gives me the same ride I had with the Bilsteins on a 2016 TRD OR I had, not lifted, that hurricane Harvey totaled.
    My total lift is 2.50" that I measured from the hub's.
    Truck is level.
    I had everything checked at 200 miles, all was good.
    I'm 6'-3" so I can still get in my truck without any step etc. ; )
