    Just picked up an 03 xtra cab silver TRD with 71K miles for $14k. I've always wanted a first gen and finally pulled the trigger. I've been reading lots of posts and doing research and have decided to upgrade with the OME complete package and a 2 inch lift - not sure what front spring yet. The TRD bilsteins are shot and lots of body lean and choppy bumps. Most of my dring will be on the highway and I'd like to add some new wheels and tires to match the 2" lift. Can I go with 17" wheels and bigger tires? Any suggestions for smooth road tires? Looking forward to posting pics of the truck soon.:)

    15s on 32's or 33s would look really nice on your setup. i like going with 15s because it makes the tires look bigger and i also like the donut look. you could probably get 1inch spacers too to seal the deal

    Thanks for the help guys:) Anyone have the 1" spacers on and can speak to how it rides/looks? Seems like it may help stability. Does anyone make a kit for them?
