    Hey all,

    I took delivery of my 2018 Crewmax TRD Off Road in December. I've been watching the forum and trying to decide what direction to go with my upgrades. I don't do any serious off road adventures and mainly use the truck for light towing and daily work commute, family life, etc. My wife and I are expecting in August, and we have talked about the future of a travel trailer, but no heavy towing at this time.

    Anyway, looking for advice on a suspension and tire size that will fit my needs. I have read quite a few threads and based on my use, I keep getting pointed towards a 6112 / 5100 or 6112 / 5160 setup to level the truck out. Any other opinions out there? Also, I would like to upgrade to Method NV's (18"), what's the best tire size to go with based on that suspension setup to avoid a body chop or serious trimming?

    Thank you for any advice!

    Just put the 5100's on because I didn't want much lift, with 18" dirty life roadkills wrapped in 275/65/18 ko2's

    While I didn't go up in rim or tire size, I was still getting rubbing on front passenger mud flap. Ended up having to remove them, and the plastic housing they were attached to, but no cutting or trimming. Not sure why the rub was only on the 1 tire though...
