    Hello,,,my first post here. Im on my 2nd tundra now,,,a 2019 double cab TRD off road limited that I bought new 3 years ago. It now only has 17,000 miles on it. It still has its original 18" rims and the 275/65-18 michielins. Actually I havent done anything to it besides put a plow on it when it was new. Next year I was thinking about putting on a dirty deeds 8 or 10" cat back,a tonneau cover and it will need tires. Id like to get the front end up a little so I was also looking at the 5100 bilstiens or pucks. Either level or if it still had a little forward rake,,I just dont want the front higher than the back.I really dont take it off roading. So 1st question which is better, front shocks or pucks? 2nd is after that how much taller tire can i go without rubbing? Thanks

    Shocks will definitely ride better. You can level the front with Bilsteins.

    I did put on the bilsteins on the front and put them on the middle setting. Still has original 265 65-18 tires but its time for some new ones. Will a 285 70 18 fit without any rubbing? thanks
