    Hi guys, I’m due to take delivery of a 2021 TRD sport in a couple months.
    I’m really unfamiliar with the subject of lifts/levels and attempting to educate myself hasn’t clicked with me yet.
    I chose the 20” all terrain tire upgrades which are the nitro ridge grapplers. I’m unsure of the exact size, but do these typically require a lift/ level to accommodate?

    I intend to have a separate shop install a a level afterwards, but I’m not exactly sure what to ask for. End result I’m after is a 3” lift with both front and back being level.
    Thanks I’m advance for any help!

    Thanks for all the help so far guys!
    @Vector W8 your truck is sick! Did you install yourself?
    As I said I’ll likely have a shop do this after I pick the truck up. Would I tell them what I want done to it and they would order parts /install them?

    Im guessing as with most things it’s better to go in prepared with info rather than have the shop make all their recommendations and charge out the nose

    Every truck is different but UCAs are highly recommended for a better alignment. I have the SPC's.

    So if I’m understanding correctly, I could get a set of bilstein 5100 like this here I could then lift the front around 2” and the rear slightly to level it out completely?

    Out there somewhere
    Vehicle:
    2020 MGM CrewMax
    Tonneau Cover TRD Pro Grille Bumper Shells Color matched Bulge Bilstein 5100 Ceramic Tint Black Tundra Inlay
    The rear 5100 shocks are stock height and thus not height-adjustable. Lifting the front end up about 2” while keeping the rear stock height would level it out.
