need help w/ lift or just leveling kit

teamevolutionstitan · 04-05-2007, 10:31 PM

I have done a bunch of searches and looked at all these post. My question is what will I need to fit 33's on my truck? I would love to go with 35's but from all the reading it looks like I would have to put a 6'' lift in the truck. For one I'm not very tall and 2 I dont have that kind of money at the moment for rims, tires and lift. I need to replace my stock tires so I was looking at getting some new 18's and 33's. It looks like all I need to do to fit 33's is to put the leveling kit in, is this correct? I'm not very smart when it comes to suspention or rims and tires. Unless it deals w/ the stereo system I don't really know too much about trucks. lol
The big thing is I tow a 28 ft. enclosed car hauler/camper and I dont want to mess w/ the way the truck tows. That is also a big reason I was shying away from the 6'' lift.
I do go off road more then I should and these Good Years suck in the mud. So I have been looking at the Bridgestone Dueler Revo's A/T. Probably the best of both worlds for me, off road and towing.
So I am just looking for a little help if anyone can lend some. I know this has been beat to death on here, but I just can't seem to find what im looking for. Sorry, but thanks for the help in advance.

Titans already come with 33"s from the factory.

Well a lot of it comes down to the wheels you pick.

With most wheels and a leveling kit you should easily be able to fit 33x12.5" tires. If you're concerned w/ your trucks towing after leveling/lifting you could look into adding airbags in the rear.

Weird, the tire place I just went too told me that my tires are almost a 31. Do the Titans come with diff. size tires depending on what one it is?

Yes, my base model xe had 31's I believe the Offroad pkg has 33's.

Hey teamevolutionstitan,

I got your pm and sent you one back a couple days ago. You should be able to fit 33s on your truck regardless of trim level. It comes down to how much offset your wheels have and how wide your tire is. With a leveling kit, you could fit 35s. You just need to determine the exact tire size you want, and if you're going with an aftermarket wheel you'll need to make sure the offset value is correct. I believe the Revos come in either a 285/70R18 or a 285/65R18, both of which are approximately 33 inches. I didn't catch your trim level, but you said you wanted new 18s. I have BFG 285/65R18 ATs and they fit just fine on the stock (SE) wheel. Try a search in the Wheel/Tire forum. Lots of threads discussing wheel dimension and offset.

With respect to a lift, if you go with any of PRG's kits you'll be fine. If you can't afford the Performance Package with new wheels/tires all at once, you might consider the new Radflo coilovers. They would only add about $700 to the $1500 to $2000 you'd be spending on new wheels and tires. Really, though, you have a lot of options. You definitely don't need a 6 inch lift (unless you want one). First, determine what size tire you want (the exact dimension) and then size your new wheel accordingly (correct offset). No matter what you do, get a new coilover for the front. The DRs or Radflos will work with the stock upper control arm. Also, consider some DRs or Bilsteins for the rear. I think you can get a complete set of new shocks for less than $1000. Call Greg/PRG and he'll go over what you want to do and set you up with what you need.

Yes, the XE comes with the equivalent of 31.5" x 9.6", the LE/SE with 32.6" x 10.4", and the OR with 32.7" x 11.2". Of course actual tire sizes vary by make and model, and are never what is advertised on the sidewall.

i have 33" x 12.5" toyo mud terrain tires on moto metal 951 18" rims. i have a

leveling kit and the airbags for the rear, i do tow a 17' enclosed trailer and

had about a 20' enclosed toybox behind it with this set up, works fine. i also

go wheeling everynow and then. i love the set up. with the rear airbags it

actually lifts it a tad bit, like 1" or so, but when i air it up i can get what

seems to be 2" at least. but i am experiencing some sag or deformity from the

front spacer (i do not know what brand or material they are b/c i got the

truck used and it came with it.) but i am currently saving up for dr front

shocks. DONT SKIMP ON SUSPENSION!!! haha, my friends have found this out

the hardway with their tacoma's. oh, and you will have to do the pinch weld

mod to get the same size tires as mine to fit. do a search on my name, you

should be able to find pics of my truck. check the thread titled

"snow wheeling" hope this helps

Well if there were a standard equivalent of the GY SR-A's it would be a 33x10.50R18. Most 33" tires, are actually less than 33". 32.6 is the advertised size, which is about what you'd see out of any 33x12.50, diameter-wise. For example, the Good Year MTR 33X12.50R15LT is actually 32.8" in diameter.
