    2022 Tundra Limited 4x4 TRD Off Road
    3.5” Rough Country Lift (with new UA’s)
    18” Method 309 wheels, +18 offset
    Nitto Recon Grapplers, 35x12.5R18

    I had 1100 miles before the lift and was averaging about 18mpg with 80/20 driving highway/city.

    I’ll update mpg once I get some miles on it.

    Sits very level- I’ll get measurements later, pics taken have take-off parts, wheels and tires in the bed.

    First impressions driving it- rides a lot better with 18’s and 35s than the stock 20’s with low profile tires.

    Previously had a 2020 on 34’s with 2.5” spacers. Very impressed with this truck.

    Ask away with any questions.

    How are the speedometer/odometer/shift points after the tire size change? I had the in-line adapter on my 2010, what is needed for 3rd gen? All other systems working fine?

    Truck definitely looks better lifted and bigger tires. Now, replace the front bumper and paint the silver around the grille.

    Hmm, with black wheels I can't really make out the design of the wheel (at least in a pic), just seems to blend in with the black tires....

    Put 2k miles on since the lift. Average 15-15.5mpg, 80% highway, 70-75mph on the highway.

    rides great. Very happy overall.

    Looks great!

    Was this ORW in Escondido?

    I was heading there tomorrow to take a look at wheels, tires and lift for my “new” (to me) 2015 Platinum.

    How far do the tires stick out from the body?

    Thanks!

    35s (Toyo AT3) dropped me from 16 to 14.5. Lot of short trips 35-45. Stop and go. 18-18.5 freeway cc set at 81 true speed of 78.

    on edit, OP- Trucks looks great!
