    Hey hey hey! Anyone seen this truck before?! Bought in Long Beach, CA from Buick dealer.:rofl:

    2017 TRD Sport (28k mi), perfect condition.
    Looks like leveling kit + oversized tires:




    Not sure ab wheel offset.
    I like stance tho:

    285/70/R17.

    I've never had a level kit before - seems like suspension geometry is affected. Drives weird at hight speed. Hit a speed bump the other day and didn't sound very good in the front!!


    Thoughts?!

    Thanks:)

    Nice ride

    iIRC any kind of lift in these trucks will result in a need to adjust the alignment to compensate. If he did the lift and the shop guys adjusted everything back to factory thats not quite correct for the application.

    The wobbling at speed is more than likely due to the width of the tire. Its probably catching the road ruts from larger trucks more than the standard tire would. Hard to say though.

    Thank you!

    :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Ah, good call.. Interesting. It's not wobbly (if you mean like tire wobble) - it rides smooth. But there is more sway than I'm used to. Noticed it pulling on the hwy a few times - good theory on the ruts. Thanks!

    You guys ROCK!! :cheers:

    Sway bar still there..that would be nutty (unless ppl do that?).
    It's b/c I've never driven oversized tires w/leveling kit before.

    Bought this for my wife to drive the baby around :cookiemonster:, but... already want to mod. :D:D:D
