    Looking for opinions here...
    I originally had planned to remove the spacer/block lift that came with the truck, but I have also considered getting larger wheels/tires (current 285/65/18 Ko2s) that may warrant the truck sitting higher.

    I have some DuroBumps and spacers on the way to help my anxiety about over-travel on the shocks, if I decide to leave the spacers in.

    Honestly, front lifts for a TRD pro are cheap. The Eibach springs are $225 shipped and will get 1.5” -1.8”.

    The previous owner of your truck installed a spacer lift on on a TRD Pro suspension?! Diabolical....

    I would pull the spacer and go with Eibach springs as @Austintaco suggested if you are planning on keeping the mild lift (on top of the mild factory TRD lift).

    As for tires, should be able to go up to a 285/75r18 with that suspension. The factory wheel offset is the key - not the lift - and should clear that tire size no issues. If you go with something wider like 295/70r18, you might need to make some clearance. An aggressive offset tread will cause more clearance issues.

    Truck looks great, BTW.

    Thanks! I prefer the idea of just going back to stock TRD Pro configuration as the Toyota engineers intended, but I'm afraid I won't like the look as I've gotten used to it now, as well as sitting up higher. However if I convert it to a proper suspension lift then I feel these tires are too small... my indecisiveness is getting the best of me!

    You’ll never over-travel your shocks. Trust me, the only person that will ever do so is @reywcms.

    I have the 2019 tundra and I have the stock setup and I love it. I haven’t really ventured off into the land of suspension but I went with a 305 sized tire wider tire and little bit bigger side wall and no rubbing

    You’ll be fine lol I always wonder why the big fuss of the TRD or the factory performance suspension components. Nothing ground breaking there lol but to each their own. Awesome looking truck in clearly the best color

    Lol I’ve seen the King Kong 4.0. They’re massive. I can only imagine if those will ever experience shock fade… the amount of oil in it is insane!
