I currently have stock 18" 7.5" rims with 265/60/28 tires on my truck but want bigger tires. This is just for looks and I drive a lot. I wanted to get everyone's thoughts. I'm deciding between putting 285/65/18 tires on stock rims with no lift or doing a 2.5" lift with stock rims on 295/60/18 tires. Since I drive a lot I'd like the ride to not be very rough but I don't car about MPG cause my company foots the bill for gas. Any thoughts??

If you do a search for lift/level and isolate it to the 2015-Present thread under advanced search, you'll see a bunch of threads who did just what you are saying you want to do, and more. A lot of options out there. Good looking options.

I'll admit, I haven't seen too many people keep their stock Sport 18's when they upgraded tires and lifted/leveled.

I kept my stock 18" wheels, added 2.5 Rough County level, and swapped my factory tires for BF Goodrich K02 275/70/18s and love them.

I did the same! The only difference is I went with Rancho QuickLIFTS and 9000XL rears.

Very nice truck!

I always find it amazing what a little lift and some slightly bigger tires can do as for the look of the truck.

(I think I'm gonna go take a ride to "use" the stock tire a little more so that I can have an excuse to change them... :-))

Thanks! I do have the 2.7 and absolutely love it - I just turned 10k and lifetime average is 18mpg according to the computer. Driving has been roughly 80 percent city, 15 hwy and 5 towing.

I average 17.5 to 18 city and 21 to 22hwy depending on speed, wind, etc.

I couldn't be happier with that especially coming from my previous Tundra that averaged 13mpg.

Computer #s are a lie

Yep. Hand calculated it's roughly 0.6 lower taking into account the difference in the larger tires. Still I'm very pleased!
