    I have a 2018 TRD Sport coming tomorrow. Left a Tundra and went to a Chevrolet 2500 (for towing reasons) and hated myself for it ever since. Trading the Chevy in after a year and going back to the Tundra. The Tundra I am getting this time is basically still stock. I am looking at wheels, tires, and lift trying to decide what to do. The more I look the more confused I get on what to do.

    The shop I use is trying to just do the 3.5" lift with rough country. I have seen plenty of people on this board that say stay away from that lift. I have looked at the bilstein 5100 and 6112 option as well. Part of what I didn't like about the silverado 2500 was how stiff it was. It rode terrible. I would like to add bolt on look flares so my offset of my wheels would need to probably be a 0. I don't want any trimming or cutting either.

    Advice and/or pictures to go with it would be awesome.

    I’m running the 4/2 Readylift with 20x9 (+20). Tires are 35x12.5 and will rub just slightly at full lock, so I can avoid it. I do not do any off-roading so it rides just fine for me.31AFEB20-6D17-4DFF-9D6F-BC72640FF166.jpg0C5E32CC-1707-4D0A-8D75-3E1605D578EC.jpg

    I had a 3.5/1.5 “lift” and ended up taking it out. Now it’s just a 2” level in the front. People are running 37s with a 2.5” level in the front. You don’t need to go crazy with a lift to fit bigger tires. All about wheel offset and positive caster. I use my truck bed a lot so having it lower is better. All up to you really. You will most likely need a decent lift though if you want negative offset and don’t want to cut anything. The negative offset makes it harder to fit bigger tires without cutting anything.
