    Thanks for having me on the forum.

    I am a Tundra Noob needing to know if I install a recently purchased 3/1 kit and maintain my stock tires will it look like sh*t on a white horse? I don't have the funds for bigger tires at the moment. Should I just wait or will it look not great but not too terrible?

    It doesn't look that bad:) I rolled like that for a while...Just had my OME stuff installed and had to wait about 2 months before I was able to slap wheels and tires on her... Here is a pic. Sorry for the black and white.

    Welcome!
    I had a 3.5" suspension lift installed on mine and waited two weeks for wheels and tires. Here's what it looked like prior to wheels and tires

    Thanks Sean. I figure my 3/1 won't be quite that high.

    Some Mods :) See build thread for details
    It will look fine, but will look amazing when you do upgrade the tires.
