    Ride stayed the same. I couldn't tell the difference after putting on the front spacers to be honest. I do all hwy driving to and from work so not many pot holes or bumps. I'm sure someone else would say the ride is a little rough or so. Mine is a SR5 RWD.

    These I did not take, this was the tech at River City Creations after installing the 2in front spacers. Truck does have slight "bro lean" but doesn't bother me much. Going to install a Rough Country 3in lift on it soon and it'll be leveled out more and have a better look to it. This was also before putting the wheel spacers and before the front air dam was removed. @OffsetPlayer2

    This reminds me of the insurance policies that they used to sell in my Grammer School. Payouts only for cettain combos like, left eye and right foot, right ear and left knee, etc.

    What does one have to do with the other?

    Nice Truck Leo, yeah man keep me in the loop when you want to get some lighting done. I'm an auhorized retailer for The Retrofit Source and I can get all of their products at Wholesale.

    I ordered the Rough Country 3" lift kit for my self and a friend that has a 2016 TRD Sport. They're back in stock and I'll probably install it this weekend.

    I found some tires pretty cheap, I ordered the Nitto Trail Grappler MT's in 265/75/16.

    Next will be the wrap for my business.

    @Aztec.Taco Thanks man that pic is with my 2" spacer lol still haven't done the 3"RC yet. Thinking of getting it done this weekend for about 480 total at Longhorn Truck Accessories. Let me know how easy the install is, I might just order it and save me the money and try to do it myself. I'll just have to get the tools necessary for installing it, unless you're down to tackle another install project.. :D lol

    Those wheels are the ones I wanted to get but since I do a lot of hwy driving, the ko2's seemed to be the best choice for that. Will get those the next time around!

    For sure man, I don't mind helping as long as I have the time. It seems like a straight forward install. Let me know, I'll PM you my info.

    Thanks for everyone's input, pics, sarcasm, etc.

    I've made the concrete decision to go with Nitto Trail Grappler MT's in 265/70/17 with the 4R TRD Pro wheels not the FN wheels. Still may do the spacer lift for now, on the fence with that. Kit is just staring at me from the floor in the garage.

    Don't do a spacer, you'll regret it. I currently have a spacer lift (2 inch tuff country in front , 1.25 inch revtek block in back).

    I would say if you just want to level the front then that would work for a while but a block in the back made my truck even less capable off road and I'm not rock crawling or doing anything like that. Very rough ride too. But yeah if I could do it again I would have done the nice suspension lift first (you can get an OME kit for around 1500, give or take ).

    Here's a pic of my truck with the spacer lift and also a pic of my buddy's who just has the front spacer. We're both running 285s. I'm a suspension "noob" too and I thought the spacer lift would be fine cuz it worked fine on my Silverado but it just felt rougher and not the same on the Tacoma. Best of luck tho and I hope you guys find something that works!

    Pics below
    The trd off road has the 2/1.25
    The sr5 has the 2

    Don't buy mud grapplers unless you want one of the loudest tires on the market. I think boggers or super swampers would be quieter
