    Bone Stock - for now
    Hello All,

    I’ve been reading post after post recently about suspension set-ups, wheels, tires, and side steps for my ‘16 DoubleCab.

    I just bought some AMP Research steps from SVcustoms today for $1199 shipped to my door. Awesome price and I learned about this deal here on Tundras.com - thx!

    For wheels Im going with Matte Black Method 703s in 17x8.5 and I’m wrapping them in 35x12.5 BFG KO2s. I have the Bilstein 6112s and 5160s on order (hope the 6112s come in soon) and I will probably go with toytec shackles for the rear and Camburg UCAs up front.

    I’m really looking forward to what the truck is going to look like and how it will handle mild desert, beach and mountain trails here in Southern California...

    F2009ED7-4FAE-443F-AA97-5CE9C60BBC37.jpg

    Stay tuned :thumbsup:
    James

    Thanks Jim! Still trying to figure out how to navigate this forum - would assume everyone has pictures posted of their trucks somewhere and their mods...

    A great first stop is the suspension setup page. Click the "Forums" tab up at the top and then under "Tundra Garage" is the subcategory "wheels and tires"
    Check it out here:
    https://www.tundras.com/threads/official-tundra-wheel-and-tire-setups-pics-and-info.95/

    Lots of critical tire and lift info plus tons of member pics with shared info on their suspension setups. In that same Tundra Garage tab is tons of other categories like lightbars, running boards, tonneau covers etc.

    Individual build pages are here: (or click on their avatar and explore their Media tab)
    https://www.tundras.com/forums/3rd-gen-builds-2014.28/
    You should start one to follow your own progress and to share it with your new friends.

    Have fun and sorry about your wallet. :rofl:
