    Just look on YouTube for any tundra video showing how to install a level kit, it's all the same steps

    I used this when I installed my 6112's, it may help. I also took pictures before and after to compare, keep us posted and pictures after, good luck it's pretty easy!

    That’s my top choice right now is the ridge grappler. Now just trying to see if the wife will let me get rims or I kinda wanna powdercoat my limited wheels black. I’m on the fence about rims. Not my truck but limited wheels powder coated.FDCBABDD-4D3E-42D1-BED8-26BF9C5B601E.jpg

    33x12.50 or 35x12.50 not sure yet, I forgot to add to above that I’m also doing a coach builder shim on top of the 6112’s for a full 3” in front.

    You will definitely need to do a CMC (cab mount chop) if your going with 35's . The 33's may be Ok, but with that 12.50 width you are most likely gonna rub on your control arm.

    Yeah I hear that I hear a lot depends on off set of the wheels which I want them to stick out a little bit so if I use my stock ones I’ll get spacers but not afraid to do the body mount chop either I just want the wheel wells full lol

    I agree! It’s about 500$ bucks to get it done.

    Thank you. I appreciate the info. Looks like they are out of stock right now. I will give them a call to see when they may get them back in.
