    So, I've owned multiple Gen of the Tundras since 2001 but decided to just say the hell with it and go Pro this time. I was going to go with the leveling thing again which worked great. But this is simpler, has a bunch of cool extras that I prob wouldn't ever get around to adding to a regular TRD. And I'm hoping will have even better trade value later. Anyway, everything goes smooth I should be picking it up this week.

    I think I'd like to do one upgrade right away ->>> Tires <<<-

    The stock tires don't do anything for me and I'm going to switch to 285/70r18

    I dig and want to keep the new Pro BBS wheels. I'm just not a fan of the "tucked" look my truck has now with stock TRD rims and 285/65r18 KO2 and I think these will be the similar in appearance. So my question is what is the deal with spacers:

    -Are they safe ?
    -What size ?
    -Bora, Spidertrax... ?

    Anyone feel like helping me out ? Truck is 99% road. Thx Bros

    I have spidertrax 1.25 on mine with stock alloys. They now sit barely past the fender, looks like it should

    I'm running Bora 1in spacers on the front on my 2017 Pro with no issues. Tire size 295/70/18. Just follow the instructions on torque specs and use loctite. I haven't had any problems with the spacers. The main reason I went with spacers was the tire was to close to the UCA. I originally order spidertrax 1.25 but felt like they stuck out to much and I not a huge fan of blue. You cant go wrong with Bora or spidertrax. Also anything under 1in may require trimming of studs.

    Just think of them as part of your routine maintenance. Get an oil change, check the spacers, and lug nuts.

    Nice truck. Thanks for the pics. Any issues with paint and 1" addition allowing rocks and dirt to trash the paint ? I can't see it but just curious of your take on that.

    I do have a few small nicks but they are very minimal. Not noticeable unless you're really looking. I feel like its bound to happen at some point. It may have been worse with a larger spacer. Very pleased with the spacers and the way they look.
