    Kings front and Rear BMC Sliders 17s on toyo 35s
    So 6 months ago I bought my dream truck and I thought I'm happy no need to mod anything.Then I found this stupid Forum and everything went out the window. First thing was to de badge the truck. After that I found a BAk FLIP on craigslist and spent more money. Then saw RCI group buy and bought sliders and skid plates.

    Then i put a Dirty deeds 8 inch system which was a little to loud for me and exchanged it for a 10 inch which is perfect for my needs.

    After all that I said I need 35s and that was a whole different bag of worms. I read every thread I could find and decided I wanted Kings with TC upper arms. I searched everywhere and went with Keith @dirtydeeds again. This guy knows his stuff and really takes time to explain everything. The best thing was he even adjusted the shocks for me as well. Really cool guy and definitely recommend him.

    For wheels i went with
    Icon Dynamics Rebound and tires are toyo at2


    The install was done by dcsleeper408 (Mark). Really a cool guy who knows our trucks. He installed everything and even gave me a recommendation on who could do my BMC Milo@milogenfab.com. Another really cool dude who kknows his Sh*t.

    Just wanted to send a big thanks to everyone who helped put this truck together. I knew nothing about tundras coming from the jeep world, but a big cheers to this board and its member. Now I cant wait to take if off road. If anyone has any questions or wants to hear the exhaust or ride passenger so you can see the kings and tires in action LMK. Enough with the rant. Here are some pics. More will be uploaded tomorrow.

    Thanks

    Hi congrats on the setup, how is the ride with the new kings shocks installed compared to stock? Better? Smoother? I know the stock setup is super soft ride. Thx!
