    Your truck is a TRD "Off-Road". 3 inches of tire just wouldn't look right.

    i would go with a 16" rim, 17" at the most. i prefer the "more tire, less wheel" look tho. tires will start looking like rubber bands with a 18" wheel. but if thats the look your goin for, more power to ya

    How do you get the rear TSB done for free. I'm looking to purchase the front and back 5100's (Prob set the front on 2 1/2" and would like the rear up a little). Sorta new to all of this, will the TSB raise the back up any or will i need to add a 1 1/2" Leaf with my shock order?

    Well ask yourself "What would be your dream truck?"
    Make a list of the things you'd like for your truck. (I mean really want)

    Then save up to buy the most expensive item on the list first!:D

    Take your time and look at what other people have done to their trucks. research and ask questions. It will save you money in the long run!

    If You're dead set on buying stuff for stuff's sake. Make sure you do your research. 90+% of people out there are just making fools of themselves with cheap bolt-ons that detract from every aspect of the vehicle. With a mere 400 bucks, youre down to like.. a satoshi grill or some plastic hood scoops type territory. Not even a cool stereo can be had for that. Shop wisely.

    Not to mention absolutely kill resale opportunity and value. People generally don;t want to pay extra for a vehicle that looks like it has been thrashed even IF its a 4x4.
