    I know I'm going to get called all kind of names and possibly lynched for this question. but, I just bought a 2019 SR5. it has 255/70R18'S. I cant afford to lift it right now but would like to have some better looking rims and maybe tires on her. does anybody have any input or ideas? tia

    Put Bilstein 5100 shocks up front on the middle setting, it will level the truck . It will give it the lifted look .

    I'd recommend investing in the lift you want prior to tires. Once you lift you will want larger tires, if you pay for tires now you will just be buying them again after the lift...just my 2 cents. You can change rims, I would just plan it out to where you know the rims you buy are the same rims you will keep once you lift.

    ...and if you do change wheels, be careful about which ones you buy. Don't underestimate how much offset can change the dynamics of a turning wheel. This is an expensive lesson to learn the hard way. Another reason to lift first. :thumbsup:

    Go suspension first.

    ^^^ What others have said, save up for a good suspension set-up. But also know what you want to do with your truck, that will be a factor in how much you spend.

    All the above are good recommendations. Invest in a good suspension lifts and you will appreciate later.

    It will be worth it! I got my truck already lifted 6" with a Rough Country spacer, but I wanted to offroad, just can't without breaking things on spacers.
    So figure out what you'd like to do and it will be worth the wait and expense!
