    It seems like a good middle ground between 5100's and toytec boss.

    You can, but you will have better caster for alignment with aftermarket UCA's such as SPC.

    With a 3" front leveling kit, I'd like to put some method race wheels on, something like in the picture. If I get some 17x9 could I still get a meaty tire 33s? Or will there be rubbing.
    There was a good wheel size thread I was reading when I first joined this site but couldnt find it this tine

    Not to hijack this thread, but have some questions of my own. There are so many varying opinions but am hopeful can find the right answer here or pointed in the right direction.

    The ultimate goal is to run these wheels: https://www.blackrhinowheels.com/off-road-wheels-rims-arsenal.php
    on 35s.

    Many people say I could do this with a 3/1 and BMC. Others say a 4/2 with new UCA's will work as well. Further, I currently am on 20" wheels with KO2s and I believe am sitting at a +50 offset, which is too far inward for my liking. I do have the fender flares on my SR5 so I was at least wanting to match the flare or come out some. The black rhino's sit at -12 offset (18x9.5), so will that give me the stance I am hoping to achieve? Should I go 18s or 20s for wheel sizes? (they come in both)

    My next questions come from which lift/level to get? My fear is putting strain on other parts that will eventually cause a catastrophic failure of some sort. Is the 4/2 readyLIFT good to go? Should I just do Bilstein 5100s all around for the 'almost' 3/1 lift/level? Is the spacer that goes at the top of the shock absorber a good or bad thing, and will it wear over time causing the shock to fail? Leaf kit lift? Any advice is truly appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read.

    edit: Have 2018 SR5 4x4. Only plan to do some light off-roading (beach, Big Bend next year, small hiking trips).
