    I do know there is a forum but I cant really find what I need to know and I'm in a time crunch. My new company truck is a 2020 Tundra Crewmax with Trd Package (not a pro) and has the 18" 5 spoke wheels with 275/65/18 ATX2's. It needs new tires and I'm leaning towards BFG KO2's but I'm unsure which size.
    Since its a company truck I don't plan on changing out the wheels but I do plan on changing out the front shocks to 5100's to raise the front a little but I do not plan on raising the rear at this time.
    So which tire size and which setting do I use for the shock? I had rather not do a bunch of trimming at this time. I appreciate your all's help.

    Read this about tire sizes.

    Middle setting with the 5100's will look level.

    I am confused, if this is a company truck why are you buying the tires? The company you work for should be ones paying for this.

    The company is buying the tires, but I’ll be buying the shocks.

    Define quick?

    I'm guessing you could search, read and find your answers in time and not as urgent as you are making it out to be.....for your first post.

    What kind of work is this company truck used for? Leveling a Tundra is going to give you far more squat if you use the bed at all or tow with it.

    KO2s are great for dry/desert conditions, but their tight tread pattern is AWFUL for clearing mud even for an AT, and at around 20-25k, they lose traction on wet pavement, in some cases pretty badly.
    There are scattered posts about it on the forum, as well as on others:

    Thanks for your input. 70% highway 30% light off road such as job site visits and on hunting lease. Only weight Id be hauling is about 300 lbs of tools and pulling a trailer with a 4wheeler to hunting lease. Glad to know about wet weather/no traction!

    In all honesty OP why put your own money (shocks) into a company truck?.?. That truck is plenty capable for what you are saying you need to do with it.

    Take that money and put in the bank for your personal use.
