    2015 Tundra SR5 TRD Dbl Cab
    Hey Fellas (and ladies),
    New to the forum , and I just have a few questions.
    I recently purchased my first Tundra, 2015 Dbl Cab, SR5 with TRD. I currently have 275/65/r18's on the truck, stock. I would like to put a leveling kit on the front end, but I'm not exactly sure how much, 2" or 2.5"? The leveling kit I'm probably going to go with would be Toytec. Plus, I would like to upgrade the tires as well. I was thinking about putting on BF KO2's, 275/70/r18's. Which leveling kit would work better? I prefer closest to level as possible, if that makes sense. And, will trimming be required for the tire size above? Plus, will I have to re-calibrate my speedometer? I'm pretty green in this area, any feedback is appreciated.

    Thanks gents! Nice Trucks! Did either one of you guys have to do any trimming? I was trying to not have to do that. Plus, I forgot to mention I'm keeping my stock rims.

    2 inches up front will make it dead level. No trimming needed for 275/70's

    Thanks Bud! That was the answer I needed. I wasn't sure if I needed to go 2.5". Nice looking truck by the way!

    Bilstein 5100 is a better option than spacers. 3/1 leveling kit (spacers) are known to cause shock failures. If you install the front shocks at the middle setting, that will give you the leveled look without doing anything to the rear.

    FYI, 275/70/18 will fit stock Tundras without an issue.

    1. Get a 3 inch front/2 inch rear lift kit (will give a more stock look than level).
    2. Get 35" inch tires.
    3. Admire the beauty! :thumbsup:

    2" spacer will be fine if you don't do any off-roading but the Bilstein 5100's are a much better choice on middle setting.

    Thanks Gents for all the solid info! Sounds like Bilstein 5100 is the way to go! I'd rather do it right the 1st time. Thanks again!
