    2013 Crew Cab and time for some upgrades! Already installed are 3" adjustable coilovers and new 2" lift shackles in rear.

    The wheels are old and tired so looking to upgrade. I'm more of the factory style OEM wheel kinda guy. Currently have stock wheels, 20x8, 5x150. I'm running Wildpeaks AT3W, 285/65R20.

    What specs do I need to look for regarding new wheels that will fit? I like the factory wheels off of the TSS models.

    Also, looking at changing out door handles to color match. I believe that Toyota doesn't have colored matched handles, just textured black or chrome. So my options would be order smooth black, primer, matching paint color and clear and DYI. I know some have ordered color matched Sequoia handles. Any ideas on this? Also, mirror covers?

    Just changed tail lights. Headlights will be for another day and discussion!

    Thanks in advance!

    Lifted rear with shackles, correct? Did you also do something with the bump stops to compensate there? Countless times I see stories of flattened springs, many of them didn't adjust the bump stop height when they extended the shackle length, then they are buying springs. Not saying you are wrong too, just sharing. Good luck!

    @2mchfun what would you say is a good gap between the frame and bump stop?

    I have about 1.5" here but my bump stops are yellow Sumo springs which can compress. Too little gap and you lose articulation. Too much and you risk flattened springs when loaded. To sum it up, really depends on how you use the truck, some want tons of articulation, some want to tow or haul a load without the headlights pointing to the moon.

    I'm in the latter boat.

    Wow, figured I'd get flooded with comments and suggestions, but it's like watching paint dry!
