    So with that, how am I going to go from 3" in the front to 4 or 5"? I get the AAL in the back being easy enough to just keep adding leaves to the desired height, but I guess in my head when I see "adds a 3" lift to the front", I already have 3", so if I take the stock ones off, put on new, I'm gonna be at the same 3" as I was before. I guess it just confuses me.

    That was just simply if you're going to replace the strut and dump the spacer.
    Maybe look into a UCA.
    I know Ready Lift has a 4" spacer,UCA set up. Not sure the size of the spacer.
    I'm no pro though. I just know I wasted $370 on a 3/1 level kit. Had I know, I'd have gone straight to the set up I have now. But that's me.
    Learn as you go.
    Good luck.

    Advice request... I just purchased a 2106 CrewMax SR5 with the XP Black package which includes 275/60/20 TerraGrappler G2 tires Looking at suspension options at this time. In an effort to be frugal, I would like to keep the existing tires and wheels for now and only increase the size of the tires to a 35" tire when it is time to replace them. Is anyone running an OME 3/1 or similar level kit with 275/60/20 tires? Will my tires look too small? Recommendations otherwise?

    Thanks!

    Are you sure that's the correct tire size? That's 35 inch tire (34.6).

    Sorry! I transposed the numbers. The correct tire size is 275/60R20 (33"). Thanks for catching that. I will edit the post

    I have the OME lift (3 & 1/2 in the front and 1 & 1/2 in the rear). I ran the lift with the stock tires (32 inches) for a while (actually for a quite a while). I like the current set-up, but I really didn't think the stockers looked bad. Here is a picture of my truck before I upsized the tires.

    Hey guys I just got my tundra and looking to level it out in the front only. Would that be a 2" spacer? Any recommendations on brand?

    Some Mods :) See build thread for details
    I just heard the other day of a split spacer design that puts part of the spacer lift between spring and top spacer and the other portion above the Coilover. Helps with the typical problems of bending shocks with just too mount spacers. Haven't looked into pricing yet but I bet @ToyTec Lifts sells them.
