    Hello, guys! First post. I'm a noob to truck mods, so forgive me for now knowing what I'm talking about.
    I'll pick up the above truck next week. First Tundra! The Sport model was the only one available to me, so I took it. It's going to be a daily driver here in Wisconsin, so no "real" off roading, but I do hunt turkeys and deer, so it will be going down old 2 tracks through fields, logging roads, and the like. Firewood and chainsaws will frequent the bed. I'll also tow a 24' travel trailer, fishing boat, and yard trailer at times.
    I have arranged for the Predator steps and an Access soft roll up tonneau cover. I move that cover all the time on my current truck and like how easy it is.
    I'm also arranging for a tire swap, so my questions begin here. I'm thinking of moving up to 285/60 on the stock 20" wheels. I think that's a good "middle of the road" size. Thoughts? Will I have poke with this setup?
    I also may want to level it for looks only. Since the Sport sits 0.5" lower in the front than the standard SR5, would the RC 1.75" still leave it slightly lower in the front? Otherwise, I'll leave it stock. I'm not looking add thousands of $$ more in a high end lift kit.
    The only other changes I'm considering are blacking out the grill Toyota emblem since all other badges are black, matte black tailgate TUNDRA letters, and maybe red TRD letters for the grill.
    Any other thoughts or ideas? Tire sizes?
    Thanks!

    Just know, moving to a larger tire on a Tundra often means moving from the stock standard load, to most often E load. Only because that is generally what is available in larger sizes to fit a tundra with 18 or 20 inch wheels. E load will ride quite a bit stiffer, which may be good or bad depending on your POV. Just something to be aware of.

    Check out the many posts here for tons of info, pics of setups, mods, etc. Great site and info available here. And Welcome!
