Hey guys so I need to write this one out since I think I am lost in my research and gut feel so please bear with me.
I just picked up a 2001 T4R and love the hell out of it. Good/Bad news is I need new tires. I like the fact that I get to pick what I put on but my research is being pushed up faster than I wanted.
My main use for this truck is freeway, going to tahoe in the winter, and very light offroad. Probably in that order for % of use. Now what I am confused about is I think I want a 265/75/16 tire (Which tire is a whole other can of worms) Now supposibly I can fit this stock, SS recomends this with the 7.2 kit and this works with the 99 tall springs. Now I assume that with the ss it will be more of a benefit offroad since I have more room to stuff but for handling and on-road performance is the tundra/890 combo better than what I have or 99 talls? My fun side says it would be great to lift and have the bad-a$$ look but is it necessary? Practical side says stick with stock or 99 tall and add addco to be smart since I use it so much on-road. Will 99 tall sag back to my height eventually? Last question I swear is if I did do 99 tall how is ss price at $620?
Sorry for so many questions..my fun side is saying one thing and practicality says another. Hopefully soon enough I'll be less of a newb
