Here is my new setup.

Method Grid 18x9 +18 & Falken Wildpeak AT3 295/70-18

I have Fox 2.0 front coilovers for a "level lift" only. No rear suspension mods.

Removal of TRD wheels turned out to be a major pain in the ass due to a broken McGard locking lug tool.
Damn thing snapped inside when attempting to break loose the first lug. I live 10 minutes from McGard's HQ in Orchard Park NY but figured it would be even more difficult (and money) to get a new lug tool and still run the risk of breaking it and being more delayed and pissed off.

Sooooo I hammered a 19mm 12pt socket on the first one and it broke loose... ended up going to Lowes and for $17 bucks I got 3 more 19mm 12pt sockets. Hammered them on to get them off each wheel. UGH.

Everything fits nicely and looks great. Pokes approx an inch past the fenders. Ill post some shots of that later.

Removed front-most flaps and then all four rearward mud flaps as there was immediate obvious rubbing in the front. Noticed that the plastic flaps have rubbed through the paint in a few spots so Im thinking to fix those areas up best I can to prevent rust and then do some clear vinyl and then fender flares. I was thinking fender flares would be awesome from the get-go but I thought I could get away without flares as the poke isnt too ridiculous , but with the bit of poke and now the paint damage...might as well do flares.

There is some rubbing on the left side at the cab mount only..so Ill have to do the cab mount chop and have peace of mind with all kinds of room.

No issues as far as I can tell with skid plate. Drove it to work tonight. Everything feels great and rides well. Not much difference in road noise.

 

They sure make a difference. Good looking truck.
