I'm with JXM, and Fishmaster... A 3" or less lift is perfect or leveling kit is better.. I purchased a 07 Tundra as is..

It came with a 3" lift and the 295/70/18's grapplers.. Guys my fuel mileage is SHHH IIITTTT.. As for as ride.. I'm running 45-50# of air pressure in my tires and can BARELY keep it on the road.. These are 10 ply.. Suppose to run 80# of air..

When I'm pulling my 24 triton, try 8 miles a gal... Get a little expensive..

I'm not replacing these tires.. I'm going to go with a little smaller tire.. Possibly 265's Grapplers..

Tireman indicated I should get a little better gas mileage.. I'm thinking of going back to a F 150 and then just putting a leveling kit..

I love lifted trucks but i agree with the leveling kit. Unless its gonna be used somewhat offroad you cant beat a good pair of 33's. Doesnt kill gas mileage but gives it a nice stance

My gas mileage sucks regardless. I get 11.5 with my little 31 a/t.

Think I'm going to go with
295/75-18 Nitto Trail Grapplers and leave my lift just how it is. Now to pick some rims.

Good call on leaving it at current height. Much taller and, it gets hard to control, especially with taller, wider tires. Aside from curb appeal, a bigger lift does nothing for a daily driver except cost a lot of $$!

That is a good lookin truck you have though!

And we have seen pics of his truck in the ditch to showcase his driving abilities already

A lift would keep 'some' from riding in your truck though

Which motor you have? 4.6? I was getting that with my 295's on a super crew with 5.4L.

Winmill tire in new Iberia beat everyone on those tires - paid 1180 out the door last year, they are 1280 now.

Might want to make sure your insurance company will cover vehicle after being mechanically altered. I have heard some companies want cover.

All of your reputable co's will cover them. Now, if its heavily modified, you may have to take out supplemental ins to cover mods. That's for completely custom vehicles in most cases.

And increases torque on your hubs when you hit bumps due to the offset! I live a good set of tires on some factory rims, it's BEEFY!
