    2024 Tundra Iforce max limited nightshade. Looking to run 35 or 37’s with 20 inch rim. Possibly a positive offset. Rough Country has a 3.5 lift kit and Westcott designs sells a kit that will work tandem with TRD oem shocks and red cv left and right swap. Your thoughts, opinions please?? These stock tires are great for fuel efficiency and that’s about it. They kill the look of the truck-awful

    Keep in mind center of gravity. If you run 37's plus 3.5" lift youre about 7" higher than stock and I would not consider a positive offset. I am about to go rough country myself with M1 coils and shocks (heard the vertex has chance of leaking well below 30k miles). If I do reservoirs it'll only be kings, fox, and icon. Recommend non M/T's either X/T or A/T.

    Outstanding information. Would it be an issue running 20” rims with a 3 or 3.5 lift as mentioned above? Thoughts on the alternative 3inch Lift kit by westcott design? (Uses oem TRD shocks, struts and Red CV)

    you can run as small as 17's w/ proper backspacing -15offset and 1" wheel spacers at minimum. 20's no issue (anything above stock 18's) Stay away from preloaded collars (strut block/level kits) w/o aftermarket control arms. Rough Country had a bad rep a decade ago, but they make great coils overs and shocks nowadays at one hell of a price, very consumer friendly especially if you do the work yourself. To answer your question, no to wescott, yes to RC. Again, evaluate your intentions for your lift unless you got benjamins to just toss. And get yourself the 189.99 lifetime ownership of vehicle alignment deal at firestone.

    I went with the Westcott Designs pre-load collar kit and run 35" Nitto Recon Grapplers on OEM wheels with no issues. Installer tried to tell me I was going to need spacers, but the guys at Westcott said it's not necessary. They are not necessary. Truck is level, rides nice, and looks like it should have from the factory.
