    Hey guys. purchased a new to me 17' crewmax and looking to make it my own.

    Background - came from a premium built 5th gen 4runner with Icon on 34's etc. nothing left out so i know about the BMC and spacer lifts are not "ideal". I'm not going to be offroading the Tundra like i did the 4Runner but want it to be somewhat capable to get to places I want to go camping etc and to look good too!

    Here's what I got with the truck and guidance needed (help me make a choice).
    Current state:
    - Rough country 3" front
    - Toytec blocks in the back (look to be 1")
    - Gunner/ TSS 20" wheels
    - Nitto Terra Grappler G2 275/60/20 (31 x 10.75)

    Choices to make:
    Tires
    - have an option to buy used Toyo MTs on 18' wheels with about 60% life left 295/70/18
    - buy new tires and keep the 20s - likely Ridge grapplers or Faulken AT3s - 295/60/20

    Lift - don't really want to lift the rear, just front level
    - Bilstein 5100's all around to level front - believe this would work with either tire setup above
    - Keep the RC and add UCA's as it seems the camber might be out a bit.

    What would you do in this scenario? used MT's are the kicker but for $1000 for wheels/ tires seems like a good deal too.

    I vote for ridge grapplers and 5100's.

    BTW, a 275/60/20 is a 33" tire, not a 31" tire :)

    35" grapplers on 18s is what I did with a 3" using the 5100 (toytec ultimate kit). I know they aren't icons, but it gets me out in the dirt pretty well, definitely happy with the choice.
