Finally...Leveled, Wheels, & Tires

I've been researching on here since I bought my truck in January. I found a 2016 MGM CM Tundra with only 1980 miles! Still smelled like a new truck without the "new" depreciation hit

My birthday is 9/6 so I figured it was time to splurge and join the cool kids. I ended up buying:

• Bilstein 6112's (2.5" setting)
• Toytec Boss Rear Shocks
• Toytec Shackles (middle hole) - thinking about raising it to the top hole
• Method NV ET25
• Nitto Ridge Grappler - 295/70/18r

Install the suspension with my dad last Saturday. The front was sort of tough but everything went on smoothly once we had it figured out. Pictures below of the before and after.


The guys at the tire shop said everything aligned fine. The truck seems to drive good and doesn't pull. Whats your opinion of the numbers? I just dont want any premature wearing obviously.


Also wanted to share my daily driver. Absolutely love this truck! Its a 1994 Toyota DLX with 131k when I bought it. The little 22re 4 cylinder isn't anything to brag about with power but is great for driving back and forth to work. Aside from maintenance items all it needed was some wheels.

 

Very nice looking setup, I kind of like the old Toyota, reminds me of Karate Kid...

 

looks great ! 295/70/18 is such a perfect size for the Tundra with a 3/1 lift

 

@wwinslett, that little 22re is one tough sumbitch. Nice Tundra

 

No doubt! And it has AC from the north pole in Alabama heat

 

Looks great! How's the ride?

 

@wwinslett did you have to do any trimming. Does it rub at all. Same thing I was wanting to my truck just didnt want to buy the wrong stuff. Thanks for any help.

 

Looks great, but it's MGM so it's great already!

 

Happy Birthday and nice truck, you got a good deal with the low mileage!

Awesome set up, looks sweet!

 

Exactly ^^^^^^

 

Nice

 

Looks so much better. Congrats!

 

Nice

 

sweet looking truck

 

Looks great

 

Hey OP, any rubbing once you had ol' big brother finished?

 

Nice looking setup you have there.

 

Damn, that looks so sweet! Well done.

 

Truck looks great! Did you leave the rear at factory height and just do the 6112s at 2.5" up front? Happy Birthday!

 

Love it. Looks great. Any rubbing with the tires. Also wats the offset on those rims.
Thanks

 

You are officially in

 

Congrats and happy birthday! Curious about any rubbing or trimming as well as im still searching for the lift i want to run...

 

Looking good! AAANNND MGM

 

Thanks guys!!

So with my stock suspension I felt like the truck rode great but was a little squishy. I wouldn't go as far to say it rode like a boat but it had that small element to it. Now the truck feels super secure to the ground. The ride is firm but doesn't jar you when you hit a bump. I'm really happy with the ride. Its definitely a huge difference.

Yes it rubbed the front fender liner when locked at full reverse. I used the thread below and cut the blue line and drilled a new hole and it fixed the rubbing entirely. Took about 30-45 minutes total.

WHERE TO TRIM

I went with Toyotec shackles in the rear at the 1"( middle hole) Im debating on going with the 1.5"

Yes on rubbing but easily fixed with the link above. The weels are 18x9 ET25.

 

This looks great!

 

How much does your tire sticks out?

 

It probably sticks out somewhere between 1-2". I didn't want it to look super aggressive. The picture below is a good reference.

 

Looks great buddy!!

 

These wheels are a +25mm offset yeah?

 

Thanks! Looks like maybe an inch where the side wall meets the width, I have oem over fender. Where I live it has to pass recon and the tire can’t pass where I mentioned. Appreciate your help! Looks like I may be copying your build
