    I figured it would be lol. I have looked into some rear leafs and figured that would be the best bet for my setup.

    Let me ask, how did the photos bring you to that conclusion?

    It looks like you swapped the stock tires for the Falken A/T.

    I tried. They had one set that was already sold. I even tried Toyota of Bend that had JUST started selling them, but they didn't have the Matte Black.

    Ah, got it! I'll be using the Falken Wildpeaks I currently have. 265/70R16. The stock wheels will be going back to the stock tires.

    Nice choice OP! I was gonna go with the gunmetal rays until the TRD sale last summer. Ended up with the pro sema's instead.

    Now the next challenge will be to come to a decision on a suspension lift. So many different options out there. The research I've done probably doesn't even scratch the surface.

    My timing was just right. They didn't have any on the SCS site. After a quick Google search found them at Freeman Toyota, ordered them then they cancelled the order and said they didn't have any in stock but were expecting a shipment before the end of the month. I started calling around to a few other places that were also out. While on the phone I got a call back from Freeman saying their order had just arrived, only an hour after they cancelled my order. They were able to reopen the order and get them rolling my way. They'll be shipping tomorrow.

    On the lift side of things, I think I've found a setup that may work for me. I'm leaning heavily towards the Bilstein 6112/5160 setup. I've gone through a few threads on them and am pretty sure it will work. To adjust for the lean, I've seen some people use a 1/4" spacer and others user a 3/8" spacer. Still digging more into this. I haven't totally decided on the rear setup yet as in a new leaf pack or just an AAL.
    For the front bumper, i'm looking at the C4 Fab Lo-Pro winch bumper. Specs say it weighs 75 lbs; that's not including winch weight and line either. The 6112's come with 600lb springs or optional 700lb. Any opinion on the spring rating for this setup?

    Any other experience with this setup?

    I love these wheels. I'd probably go with the Gun Metal though.

    Start simple and work your way up. Keep budget and utility in mind. my first were rear disc swap, console organizer, seat covers and screen protector. Skid plates and sliders are up next. All depends on your needs
