What’s your impression so far on the lift kit? Drive good, handling, etc? Thinking of that lift but haven’t seen anyone slap it on yet.

With the heavier tires it definitely drives heavier! I have heard people say with the lift and bigger tires it drives like a 5th gen. However, no issues good handling and drives good! The only negative I have noticed is that the lane maintenance isn’t as good with the cruise control but only on turns !

Looks great! Love the back-end of this vehicle.

Looks great man I have the same SR5 tire size and color but went with the Readylift 2.5 front 1 in back and the handling is great but we are having trouble dialing in those wheels and tires on the balance machine. We get a noticeable vibration at 75+
How about you?

Thank you your rig looks great! As far as I know the balancing went fine! I have gotten to 80 plus with no noticeable vibration. The only thing I have noticed is that the tires are louder but not issues yet.

Drives like a 5th gen in terms to acceleration?

That’s what my friend said who has a 5th gen. In normal or sport I think the acceleration is still good just an adjustment from the smaller tires.

I drove mine about a month / 500 miles before I switched out the tires and wheels and added the 2.5 lift. It lost a little handling on the highway like all lifts I have ever done (can’t take high speed turns as fast) but steering is 100% the same. Bumps are more noticeable for sure

It seems like a more common tire install here is 35 x 17/12.5. You went with 1.7 inch less diameter and 1 inch less wide - tires. I'm thinking your mpg will be better. Probably a great choice for tire size that I will go with someday when I get mine. Kudos!
