    Did you install the lift yourself? If so how difficult/easy is it? Thanks

    I did not. I had my tire shop install it for me. It only took them an hour. All they said it was, just installing the front spacers and replacing the year U bolts. I watched a couple YouTube videos and it seemed pretty easy.

    Ok. I see the kit is ~300 and they quoted me 800 with alignment and everything. Probably worth the extra cost and for them to "maintain" the warranty. Thanks

    Yes ko2's 265 70 17 ,17" trd wheels no lift still get over 25 mpg on flat road at constant 65 mph with a/c on. I got the wheels from Frank Toyota in San Diego and the tires from discount tires . They are really quiet. 100% love them

    Damn it, I don't know what to do. I love that look, but I want to get a little lift/level on. I don't want to get 265 70 17 and wish I had got 275 70 17. I need to let the dealer know in a day or two. Staying at load C would be good for the gas tank and ride, and I don't do any off road really. Also thinking about road noise. If I didn't get the lift/level, I would probably get new wheels instead. With the lift, I was keeping the pro wheels. Decisions decisions. I need :help:

    I have a 2.5" lift front and 2" rear. I'm also running 265/70r17. Does it look great? Fucking right it does. Do I wish I had bigger tires? Sure I do, I'm a man. I'm extremely happy with my set up though. No loss in power or mpg. With that being said, here's mine for an idea of what that looks like.

    If I used Pro wheels, and no lift would I get any rubbing? Do you have any rubbing at all?

    I like steel wheels with a aggressive winter tire for the winter,
    And a nice aluminum wheel with a aggressive AT or MT for non salt/winter months.

    I ordered these wheels this morning. Of all the setups I've seen, this combo of wheel/tire/size looks the best. (To me, anyway, which is what matters) Can't wait to get them on the truck.

    I agree with you. Have been looking for a while now & always come back to this combo. I will start shopping for best price on both.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Steel wheels are great because rockrash is a bitch.

    Plus, you can buy a backup set for cheap.
