    Thanks!

    I have been messaging with someone else on this forum who had factory suspension with the XLs and they look fine. Comes down a bit close to say a curb, but they look fine.

    On a stock TRD OR the XLs will 100% hit the curb. Sounds like your mind is made up but I'll just say it again, the XLs are simply way too low for stock ride height trucks.

    Not to beat a dead horse but here is a photo of mine parked next to a curb. Now imagine 4" lower.

    Your truck looks low. Here are pics that use Wood-Dro sent me of his truck.

    Mine is bone stock, TRD OR, with OEM diameter wheels and tires. It is what it is.

    Currently have the TRD Pro 18s with the OEM Falken 285/65-18. Which is exactly the same 32.6" diameter as the original TRD OR 18s with 265/70-18 Michelins.

    According to Google AI, 2025 TRD OR has 1.6” higher ground clearance than a 2023. Factor in my bigger wheels and there ya have it.

    Interesting. But I don't believe your overall tire diameter is different. The 20" wheels just get a lower profile tire to still make them 33s like mine. They do that to boost MPG for EPA. Bigger overall diameter will really hurt MPG which Toyota can't afford. What size are your tires?

    Your overall diameter is 32.5, basically same as mine. If the later TRD ORs are higher it is because of suspension.

    Do NOT buy the XL's. I made that mistake on my 3" factory lift. Way too low and too high of a step in. Had to return them and get the regular power steps. Learn from my lesson.

    I hadn't even really looked at the XLs before but from the picture above is looks like they are the regular powersteps mechanism grafted onto a deep housing that stands off downward from the door sill. So, the whole thing will protrude significantly even when the steps are up... whereas the standard steps tuck in nice and tight to the body.

    I was wondering why you were so eager to make this mistake. Sell them. Quick.
