    Looking at a 2016 Platinum with some mods already done (last owner added sway bar, suspension lift I think, TRD exhaust and some other stuff to make it look like a TRD Pro) and I have a few questions rolling around my head.

    TPMS - The truck has Mickey Thompson wheels...how do I know the TPMS is functioning after they did the swap besides letting air out of each tire? Is there a place in the menu I can see that?

    -Fender Flares - I don't like them. How are these held on these days? Double sided tape?

    -When I go look at it I'm going to post some pics of the suspension for further review.

    Thank you!

    If you don’t have a yellow TPMS light on the dash, then the sensors are in place.

    Flares are usually held on with tape. May need some paint correction if you remove them as they bend to scuff the clear coat over time from vibrations.

    Can someone tell me what measurement I can use to determine the lift? Is there a wheel well to wheel center measurement? It Has 275/70-18 tires.

    Here are pictures of the suspension

    The middle of the front wheel was 24 1/2 inches from the wheel well.

    Is this considered a 3/1 level lift?
    Looks like there are shackles on the back?

    Are you referring to a 3 inch lift here? Or are you referring to from the factory stock vehicle?

    Front looks like Bilsteins 5100 on highest ring (+2.5") and rear is also 5100 shock with a +1 or +2 coachbuilder shackle.

    I drove it and it seams really cool. The fender flares are bolted on from underneath and the paint seams clean under them. I'm just having a hard time parting with 42,500 for a 2016 with 26000 miles when I can get the new ones for $47,000. They just got it and they are not budging on price. I know this has a lot of upgrades, but I don't think I can justify all that cool stuff. I can make due with less.
