    1. +25 seems to be the sweet spot for tundras

    2. most are no drill, lots of different brands

    3. yes

    4. none. It’s not recommended. Could break your shock.

    Hate to be that guy, but your post and goals are vague. There’s lots of threads here that already answer your questions. Try search.

    1. +25
    2. Plenty of options out there and most are no drilling
    3. If you have a 21 TRD Pro then you already have the LED headlights. Don't understand the grill, bullbar question.
    4. Again, if you have a Pro you're already leveled. Do you want to go higher?

    Might want to ask @Squatting Pigeon or @T-Rex266 to move this thread, since it’s related to Gen3 and/or TRD Pro.

    Now, based on the fact you’ve got a TRD Pro:
    1. If you’re keeping factory wheels, you don’t need any spacers or different offset for 285/65R18 - that size is so close to the factory 275/65R18 it’s negligible ( ). Unless you absolutely want to have them poke out past the fenders, or absolutely want rims other than the TRD Pro BBS. If that’s the case, then I’ll defer to the previous responders.

    2. most flares aren’t drilled anymore. Depends on what you like the look of - some like pockets, some don’t. OEM look pretty good to me, but the price of getting any flares painted just puts them outside of my desired budget. Also, be sure to put paint protection film (PPF) under any fender to protect your paint.

    3. The Pro has LED headlights and fog lights. Most everything else you see in this site for add-on lights like ditch lights, grill lights, hood bulge lights, etc. are going to require you to run wiring, tap into existing circuits or add new ones, and add switches inside the cab one way or another. Or pay an off-road shop to do it for you.

    4. your TRD Pro is already leveled from the factory - it’s +2” up front. If you want more but not a lot, then popular options are the Westcott lift or the Coachbuilder TRD Pro kit. Both gain you about another 1” to 1.25” and wont screw up the geometry or functionality of your factory suspension.

    Casey..Thanks for the info, it was very helpful... Yes I want to change the factory wheels to make the lower part of the truck more appealing. And I appreciate all the feed back from everyone else too.

    Welcome. I just reread and saw some spelling errors (autocorrect at midnight on my phone). Anyway, be sure to browse through the 3rd Gen Pro forum AND the Lunar Rock club because a LOT of people have been down similar roads.
