Not What I expected!

So I dropped the truck off for three things:
1- New Tires (Cooper XLTs)
2- Powdercoat stock OR Wheels
3- 5100s at MIDDLE setting

When I picked up the truck I was told that the middle setting on the 5100s was rubbing pretty badly on the fronts (no spacers) so they took the liberty to install at the top setting! At first I was mildly disappointed because
A- I didn’t wasn’t any TSS issues
B- I didn’t want a nose high stance
C- I wasn’t sure about a diff drop
However, I was pretty happy with the look so I said ok and moved along. The tech said they roll Toyotas out of that shop for a dealer down the road every week and it shouldn’t have any issues without a diff drop or the TSS. My question is does it seem nose high to you folks? I could throw some shackles in The back but I’m trying to convince myself that it looks good overall? Should I keep the powder coated stock wheels or go for an aftermarket look?Thanks for any input.

 

On your top picture I can barely see a difference, but that's only because I was really making comparison and eyeing the fender and tire difference. The other two pics it isn't noticeable at all to me...looks good!

 

To me it looks pretty level. You could always find a known level location such as inside a shop and see what it looks.

 

That looks damn good. If everything is working fine , leave it. It looks level to me.

 

Looks good to me!!

 

Hard to tell in the second pic, all the tires are in the back. Mine on the middle setting has a slight rake forward, I'd bet yours is pretty damn level

 

Phat. Spend money on other mods.

 

Can't find anything that doesn't look good on your truck.

Powdercoat your rims black might be cool.

 

What size tires did you go with?

 

275/70r18. Didn’t expect them to rub from what I’ve researched but I’ll be darned if they didnt...

 

Thanks for the input fellas!

 

I have a feeling the shop is exaggerating rub. The skid can be bent a little, plastic pushed forward. Coachbuilder bumper shims can fix the front rub pretty easy. If you want them at middle setting i would go back. There is a reason you wanted that before you bought then

 

I completely thought the same thing. That’s why I asked for the tech, and he admitted that he could’ve removed the front mud flap and it would’ve been close to fine. We did end up bending the skid plate a good bit even on the top setting. But the main concern was the TSS and it seems to be working fine for now, hoping that continues.

 

Unrelated to everything you've posted and asked about, but... did you vinyl wrap over your chrome grill surround and bumper caps? It look really nice and I like what looks to be a slight color shift from the quicksand color. If so, would you happen know the vinyl brand and item number so I can score some to cover eyesore chrome on my 2019 quicksand?

 

I love aftermarket wheels, and usually opt for black rims with less of an offset for a wider stance, but in your case, those wheels look GOOD. The tan accents match your truck really well. I’d stick with those.

As for the shocks, it seems strange the shop didn’t call you before making that decision for you.

 

Yea it kinda of irked me for sure, but he said they did what they thought was best, and overall I’m happy with it. I was torn on the wheels but they turned out pretty sharp. Thanks!

 

Plus those shocks may settle a bit.

My concern at full height would’ve comfort; is it comfortable?

 

I actually bought a 2017 painted pro grille from Roman and swapped out the surround and insert. It was pricey but I was able to offset some of the cost by selling the pro insert only for 150 locally. It sold so fast I shouldve asked for more! The bumper caps were covered with bumpershellz I ordered through a vendor on the message board. There was definitely some color variance as expected but it’s funny that the surround and the bumpershellz matched damn near perfect with each other!

That was the most surprising part to me. I think the ride is excellent. When I left I just drove around for a half hour hitting interstates and potholes and was very satisfied. I might like it better than stock (that can’t be right)
