Joe – No idea. Ask your tire dealer. Usually you can go 1-2″ bigger.

I have 2005 4 door tundra. I have factory 17″ wheels on it. How big can I go with tires? I don’t want to lift it and I can’t afford new wheels.

Michael – I’d like to refer you to TundraSolutions.com – they have some people that are more knowledgeable about the older Tundras. We specialize in the 07+ here. Having said that, ToyTec offers a lift kit for the older Tundras. Based purely on the quality of their product (and not on any actual testing or review), I would suggest you look in that direction as well.

I have a 04 tundra, What you guys think is the best size to lift it? 2.5 inches, 3 inches or 4 inches?
And what lift kit?

My truck came from the factory with BBS 20″ wheels and 275/60/20 Michelins. I do not have any rubbing issues.

Terry – For the answer to your first question, check out our ToyTec and Low Range Off Road kit reviews (just search the site for the words “toytec” and “low range” and you’ll find them). As for the rumble, I’m a big fan of visiting your local muffler shop. Here’s a good article about it: http://www.tundraheadquarters......fications/

Sorry, last comment was from me too. Also wondering about the easiest way to get the low rumble sound the engine “should” have. I’m coming off a Hemi that sounded great and was a lot of fun to drive. The Toyota is a far superior vehicle but would love to get that V-8 rumble instead of the TRD sewing machine sound.

OK, I checked out some of the leveling kits available and they seem pretty inexpensive and easy to install. Any feedback on vehicle ride, handling, tire wear after an install? Did I also read somewhere that I will need to get a Toyota shop to reset my computer or something like that?

Terry – No problem. A leveling kit usually just lifts the front end of the truck instead of both front and rear. Since most new trucks come from the factory with a forward lean (or rake), lifting the front 2″ just about levels them out. The issue with tire rub is two fold. Tires can rub on the top because they run into the suspension, body, or frame, or they can rub on the sides in the same ways. The leveling kit reduces or eliminates rub on the top of the tire in all but the most extreme situations (like full travel, something most trucks never experience). The rub on the side of the tire, however, has a lot to do with the tire width and the wheels you buy. Every tire and wheel combo is different, and I can’t say for sure if it will rub or not. However, adding a leveling kit (we recommend Toytec or Low Range Off-Road leveling kits) will eliminate “top rub”.

OK, I’ve been out of the mod game for a while. Lift kit I understand, what’s a levelling kit and would that allow me to run 33″ with no rub?
