    I had 265 75 16s and they did look a little small. 285s fit nice and look like they should have come on the pro.

    Just ordered the kit. Did you have any issues with the mud flaps? I noticed you took yours off. I live down a mile long gravel road and have to leave mine on or I’ll have tons of rock chips.

    I don’t have flaps, opted not to get them. May put them on the back only.

    I went with the Old Man Emu, Medium weight leafs. I only have a Diamondback cover for daily driving but heading on a trip next week with a full load of camping gear. Don’t expect any issues.

    I plan on going with the Eibach spring upgrade in the front (once it's released). I'm curious if you have any specific recommendations as for what to run in the rear? I'll have around 250 lbs of weight in the back at any given time.

    Anyone do the Westcott kit or something similar and swap wheels? Looking at doing it with some methods but unsure if it will run with diff offset

    About to do something similar, based on what I've read you are probably okay unless it's a positive offset.

    Going in tomorrow for CMC, and 33" tires. (285/75/R16) Keeping the 16" pro wheels. I'm hoping it clears with just that, if not I have the wescott kit and icon RXT leaf pack in the truck ready to go.

    I know it clears with Westcott no problem. I was told anything more then -12 is bad, 0 should work also without rubbing. I guess it’s so I do method 321s in bronze with 0 offset or stock wheels with 285/75/16 ‍♂️. I’m torn!

    I hear ya. It's a slippery slope. If I hadn't gone with a roof top tent, and purchased the BAMF dual swingout rear bumper.. I think I would have just stuck with 265/75/R16 (32"ish). With the extra weight I started looking at AAL kits and HD leaf packs, but there aren't really any off the shelf that keep the stock height. Most are 1.5"+, so then I'll need something up front to compensate. Since I was heading down the lift train now, on go the 33"s I'll post some before and after pics this week.

    Here is the link to Westcott Designs. Be sure to order the correct version. There’s a different version for 2020 Tacoma Pro.

    For my rig, I went with the Wescott Designs kit for the Tacoma TRD PRO. Its a great kit ($350 shipped) and rides like stock. No issues with alignment and no need for UCA's, bushings , body chop, or diff drop. Currently I have 285/7017 BFG KO2's with Toyota TRD wheels. It took me a while to find a good alternative to swapping out my whole suspension, as I wanted to keep the Fox set up it came with for now.

    Is it an AAL in the back or block? And does the 350 include everything?
