    I upgraded my wheels in 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crew.
    Kept my original tires and TPS. But what would I need to do if I want to go bigger tires. Will I need different sensors? Can I re-use the current sensors.

    Yes, you can easily swap the sensors. Just had mine swapped three weeks ago.

    I went from stock to running 35s.

    can you shine some light on the brand of the sensors and what was involved in setting them up?

    You don't need to swap sensors to go to larger tires as they only detect pressure.

    I had a shop swap the OEM sensors to my new wheel/tire setup (ICON Rebounds 17" w/+25 Offset) (35/12.5/17 BFG KO2s).

    Honestly, I have no idea of the sensor brand.

    Everything works perfectly (I spend a lot of time on sand).
