Yea, it will be at least a few weeks before I order anything. I'm going deer hunting for a couple weeks in a few days. I bought this truck to get more MPG than what I was getting with my lifted Tundra (12mph) so I really don't want to go throwing 35" tires on it and kill my mpg. I think probably a 2" level and some 33's would be my limit for now. I had a ReadyLift leveling kit on my Tundra for awhile before I put the 7" lift on it, and I never had an issue. I might be leaning towards them at this point.

Beautiful truck man!
