    Hey yall, I've got a few questions I'm sure have been answered. However, I'm having a hard time searching the forums for the exact answers I need and was hoping you'd forgive the repetitiveness I'm about to embark on.

    First, I have a 2018 Tundra SR5 CrewMax 4x4 (5.7 if that matters). I'm looking to level it but wasn't sure how much of a lift I'd need just to get level. I used to drive an f150 (it was turrible) and needed 2.75" to get it level, but the rake on the tundra seems much less.

    Secondly, I'm not going to change my wheels/tires out from what I got on the TSS and was curious if anyone leveled theirs and left the wheels/tires stock. If so, I'd love to see a pic.

    Third, I've read in different forums that 2018's can have issues with the toyota safety sense stuff when leveling. I called a few local toyota dealerships in San Antonio and they all said they've not had any issues with it. Does anyone have any insight into this as of August 2018?

    Lastly, once my BFG KO2's are dead (or close to it) I want to put 35/12.50rXX on the truck but want to minimize rubbing AND cutting/shaving on the truck. I had 33/12.50r20 on my F150, but had to shave quite from the front air dam and wheel well. How well would 33 or 35/12.50's fit on the TSS wheels? Would I need to get a different wheel with a different offset to accomodate a wider tire?

    Thanks for any insight, and sorry for what i'm sure are repeated questions.

    Welcome from Arizona. About 2 inches of lift in the front will level it. Those that have installed the Bilstein 6112 front shocks set the front shock height to the 1.9 inch setting to get the truck level - lots of pics of that setup on this site. The TSS issue seems to be unrelated to whether or not the truck is leveled. Not sure about your wheel / tire setup but others will be along to chime in shortly.
