    We sell a lot of those Readylift kits and every one of our customers has been super happy! Definitely an affordable lift kit if you don't plan to do a lot of off-roading. I would definitely recommend a chrome delete like the grille, handles and mirror caps. Those are the 3 most popular items bought for a Tundra.

    the crome delete will definately happen after the rims and tires...i'm thinking the +18 offset is what i should go?

    i have read multiple thing and still am lost on the offset. I want the tires to be closer lined up to the fender flares. So do I go with a plus 18 offset or a minus 12?

    Definitely not the -12, with flares +18 is money. There are some members here running that set up. Someone will chime in. +12 would be a little more aggressive, depends on the tires too. Good luck and post pics when you get'em

    the 18x9 rims with the +18 offset has been ordered! now for tires. I've think ive decieded to go with Nitto Terra Grappler GII? What are your guys thoughts? This tire or something else? And 295/70/18?

    Also will the lug nuts that come with the truck work or do it need to order new ones with the rims?

    I did a 3/1 and cab mount chop before placing the tires on, but with the right offset you should be able to run a true 35" without having to do any of that

    I saw retrofit headlights for sale here. I can attest to the huge difference in light quality with proper projector headlights. It sucks that these trucks are sooo expensive and come with crap headlights. C'mon even the Rav 4 comes with projectors. Honestly it was after installing the new lights that I became truly aware of just how bad the stock lights are. Now I need to replace the fogs.....ha ha.

    You missed out, ESP had a father's day special plus free shipping. I ordered it directly through his website. It was very easy to install and looks great!
