    Had my '17 about a year now.

    Like to get a leveling kit and some bigger tires and offroad wheels, just not sure what to look at company wise.

    I dont live near a desert, doesn't have to be a crazy mudding truck, just using it for getting around the hunting spots here in Iowa, and maybe take a trip to the mountains each year.

    Hoping to see build details for 1.75 and/or 3" leveling kits with tire and wheel size please!

    I've got a super white Limited Tundra and she's completely stock-due for some upgrades!

    Bilstein 5100 is a good place to start. Give that a search and you should find lots members running them

    I should mention that I dont tow anything, down the road maybe a small fishing boat or camper-under 7500 for sure.

    I'm not a mechanic, dont really know anything about this stuff and don't particularly care to in all honesty. I just like my Tundra and want to make some upgrades.

    I went with 1.75 because i just wanted to level the front and if i went any higher my wife wouldn't have been able to get in. So i had to keep the banker happy, lol.

    I'm not in a huge rush, if you happen to remember sometime in the next month or so that'd be fine!

    I’ll send a pic as soon as I can I have super white with 2.4” readylift leveling kit with 33” tires just added fuel wheels yesterday. No issues besides some minor rubbing at full turn in reverse. Love the ride but looking to go with 4” lift soon.

    I'm in the same boat as you. '17 CMOR4x that I pretty much use for hunting/fishing/camping. Don't daily it, and it sometimes goes weeks without going anywhere.

    I picked up some TRD rear shocks (red/blue ones) and may do leveling kit. I fabricated my own full length rock sliders (actual sliders, bolt to the frame) and put 285's on the stock rims. I was going to get the TRD Pro rims, but on closer inspection, they appear to be same rims as my stock ones, just all black, so I may paint mine. But for hunting, I've found the most useful things are off road tires (don't need to be 35s), rock sliders, and my shell since I have weapons, coolers and hunting gear in back. That's it.

    Oh, and a good phone mount so you can use OnX while you're driving on a forest road...

    I got around to measuring the front and rear. It sits from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender in the front at 23 1/4" and 23 3/4" in the rear.
