    Every truck is slightly different. I recommend you measure from the ground to the top of the wheel well for all 4 sides, then add. Also the body-line of our trucks when you try to get all these measurements equal look like a bit of a Cali lean so you might want to account for that.

    In general, 5100’s add this much to 3rd gen Tundras:

    Mid = 1.57”
    Top = 2.28”

    If you want more lift, people add CB shims in the front and CB or Toytec shackles in the back.

    Your tire appears to be roughly 34.1x10.8, what’s the rim offset?

    Stock offset is +60, and MNV's are +25. The closer to 0 and into negative, they stick out more and the higher likelihood of rubbing.

    I have Method Mesh's +18, 34.3" x 11.8" Nittos. I'm about 2.5" lifted over stock and needed to take off all the front flaps and roll the fender liner in.

    Your Falkens are 34.1" x 10.6", a good inch less wide than mine. You might rub at 5100 mid setting, hard to say, depends on your final caster after alignment. You can play it safe and lift > 2". Go top setting, or maybe mid setting and 1 or 2 Coachbuilder shims a side. That'll avoid body/cab cuts I think.

    Other opinions?

    I installed 6 months ago the 5100s all 4 wheels and did one 1 inch lift in rear so I can have a bit of rake due to having VSC issue since installing new toyo at2 on the front they are set at the highest setting

    What's your suspension set up? I love the look and stance of your truck.

    It’s 5100 mid + 2 CB shims each side in the front, about 2.4-2.5” gain. 5100 + Toytec 1.5” shackles in the back. It doesn’t go off-road, maintained campground trails at most, or I’d go 6112/5160’s. There’s a slight rake as I tow a travel trailer, with WDH, it’s almost level. The rest of the year I like that mild aero stance.
