    Alright fellas, let's hear it, going to be getting a leveling kit on my Tundra here soon so I can stuff some bigger tires on the truck. Right now I have some knock off tires that came with the truck when I bought it earlier this year but am looking to get nice AT tires. I have 20 in rims and looking to get 17s and 33s or 35s on with said 17in rim. Is it possible without a suspension lift? I don't tow at all yet but plan to one day when I can afford the toys to pull. I've been looking at 2in leveling kits and wondering if that is enough, any help on performance of yours or brand and why would be appreciated.

    35" tires may not fit on a 2" lift. Like the above post I got a 3/1 and run 33" tires on 20" rims.

    I have a ToyTec system set on about 2.5” now, and I have found the BDS KIt in the 3600 price range. I’m wanting to move my truck in a different direction, 20x10 and some negative offset. This truck has a 7” and 22x12s, I want a toned down version of this 195FF43C-3440-4B2C-A93D-ACD2593952AC.jpg

    The Toyota dealer by me just did a 4” PROCOMP kit with 35’s and looks nice. Makes my 3” leveling kit look small and it’s only a inch different but it has 35’s and I have 33’s

    I should add that 3600 is for the Fox coil overs to be included.

    I was parked next to one with the 4.5 kit and 34s, made mine look little. I don’t do any kind of off roading so I’m good with a bracket lift.

    Yeah I don’t do any off-roading either just for looks. Do you have a pic of your truck ?

    3.5/1 with 34’s for reference spend a little more you’ll be happy you went with something better then a spacer lift. Had spacers on my 2013 and the ride I have now with a spindle lift is so much better it’s not even comparable.

    How much farther do your front tires stick out than the rear with the spindle lift? That's the only problem with spindle lifts.

    My buddy also has a platinum with a 4 or 4.5 bracket lift and 295/65/20's, truck rides like complete sh*t compared to my set up... food for thought

    I want to say an inch. If you are not a fan of that wider front stance/ prerunner look then spindles definitely are not the way to go.

    Here’s mine with a 4” leveling kit and 33’s. My brother has the same kit but with 35’s and he had to cut away a bit. I didn’t. I prefer the look of his but decided to go a bit more modest (and let big bro have the bigger truck haha)
