What Mods Should I do?

Thinking about upgrading my 2022 sr5 now I do not do much offroading this is more for looks for me. Is it worth me going to 2in lift with bigger wheels or just do a leveling kit or something along those line. I just want a beefier more aggressive look with some bigger wheels.

 

welcome

 

There's plenty of info on this, so you can do a search. You'll find a lot of details.

Basically, I would do a 1.5-in lift in the front, and leave the rear alone. Bilstein 5100s are a high quality replacement shock that will allow you to lift the front and improve ride and handling qualities.

Lift doesn't really fit larger tires on these, it's more about alignment and wheel offset. So for tires, I would go with a slightly more aggressive all-terrain in the factory size. Simply going to a legit all-terrain will make the tire look bigger than stock, that was my experience on mine.

Even with a stock size tire, if you go with a wheel that sticks out far, you'll most likely have rubbing issues. Sticking with a factory style TRD Pro wheel with stock sized all terrains along with the 1.5 in front lift will give you a beefier look, basically like a TRD Pro, without giving you any rubbing or alignment issues.

 

Welcome.

 

I would skip the lift/level an just go with an aggressive tire. But if you are going bigger tire that's a whole different can of warms and leans towards heavy off-roader.

 

It boils down to money. How much do you want to spend? Are you satisfied with stock wheels? Do you want less MPG? How much MPG loss are you willing to drive with?
Bigger more agressive tires hit the MPG and make road noise. Are you thinking Raised White Lettering on tire or black wall?
Lifting the truck also gives less MPG, and may make sliders with steps or running boards necessary for family and friends.

 

MPG doesnt bother me to much, I have a work vehicle I drive during the week. Ill spend whatever is needed I just want to know the best option for a still smooth ride while also changing up the stock look I have right now.

 

I appreciate the feedback

 

How big would open that can of worms

 

What mods do you think has been done to this? I like the look.

 

Just about anything bigger than stock, even 285/70R17 would be pushing it. At best they will rub when turning, at worst you will have to cut some of the body to fit the larger tire. That picture they cut some of the body and did a full lift.

 

I read a post of mine from two years ago after buying it. I’m that post I said I’m done after the lift and 285/70/17s. I look back at that post and laugh. I’ve done so much more. New rci skid plate, rock sliders, recovery points, roof rack, awning. It never ends. But we off road in it. As others have told you, just putting more aggressive tires without a lift really does change the look. Take a look at Mickey Thompson Baja Tires. Those really look nice.

 

What lift do you have and what tiresize?

 

I have the eibach stage 1 level kit. Absolutely love them. Here is why i went with them. King and Icon need to be rebuilt every 30k miles, Eibach and Bilstein you dont have to do that. My tires are Toyo AT3s - 285/70/17. My next set will be the Mickey Thompsons

 

She rides nice?
