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.com/blog/2007/03/27/toyota-tundra-exhaust-modifications/ 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).

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. Sorry, last comment was from me too.

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?

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". Terry - No problem.

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

Without some sort of lift/leveling kit, 33's are as big as you want to go. Even at 33" you may have some tire rub. Terry - You are correct.

I have been reading that the biggest tire you can put on a stock Tundra is a 33" but does this allow proper wheel travel and turning? I went through this many years ago with another truck but found that the bigger tires would rub and even dent the front fenders when they were turned and the suspension compressed.

Adding a simple leveling kit should make it work. Mike - That’s a 33″ tire, so there’s a good chance you’ll have some fitment issues up front. Adding a simple leveling kit should make it work.
