hey look, its my wheels and tires. i hate to sound conceded but they do look good.

is it too loud going down the road? there is a little bit of noise but i dont think its too much. i cant really hear it anyways over the exhaust i have.

i think you should have kept the rear stock .. drop it back down an inch

They are louder than stock but aren't loud enough to have to turn up the radio just like you said. I love these wheels and especially the tires! I did have to take that small air diffuser off the backside of the front bumper due to rubbing, but it's a great fit overall!

I'll consider it. I don't mind the minor rake the truck has. Plus when I tow my motorcycles around it'll probably be level, and not sagging down more in the rear than in the front.

I see .. looks good though .. only 2 things i would do are tint the front windows and ditch the TRD stickers, but those are just personal preferences

Okay Im new to this so bear with me. Is a leveling kit a big deal to install, or well in my case have installed? Your truck looks awesome. Was your ride stiffened or changed by the mods? Any problems with this affecting the warranty or any other mechanical problems?

It's really not too difficult if you are mechanically inclined and have the proper tools. The kit states that a good mechanic should be able to install it within 2-3 hours. I think the ride is a little stiffer but the new look of the truck made it well worth it the extra stiffness. I assume my odometer is off somewhat now due to the bigger tires, but there are shops that can recalibrate it.

What kind of mileage are you getting?

Right around 12 mpg with 80% street, 20% highway. Definitely a noticable drop! I'll get it recalibrated and see what comes of it!
