Was able to wiggle some time in between my busy schedule to drop the rig off to get my lift installed. It’s lifted with Icon 3”/1”. Man oh man it rides completely different now. So much smoother and comfortable. Can barely feel the bumps on the road anymore. So amazed on how these changed the trucks ride like that. I know @thebassn8tr always emphasized how it dramatically improves ride quality and damn he sure was right about it. And the look, these pictures does not do any justice for a 3”/1” lift. Looks so much better in person. I highly recommend this lift options for those who are looking for a 3/1 lift. No only does it look awesome but rides like a dream! Next up, wheels/tires!!

I’m not quite sure yet. Can’t decide if I wanna stick with 18s or move up to 20s. Then gotta figure out what style/brand to go with. I want to stay as close weight as factory setup but I know if I move up to 20s then it won’t be the case. Decisions decisions. I’ve got some time before I pull the trigger on a new set of wheels anyways so no rush.

@MrCann congrats! People do not realize how unique this kit is. From the only coilovers there are that are actually valved for 2016+ to the only arm available with delta joints that can only be purchased in this kit. I highly recommend 295/70/18 tires

I believe my lift kit also fits your gen1 model as well if I'm not mistaken. @thebassn8tr should be able to confirm. Will definitely keep you in mind when I decide to move my factory wheels/tires.

20s are a factory size. my truck came with 20s from the factory so 275/60/20 is the same as your 18

I was actually thinking of going with 275/65/20 setup if move up to 20s. Bit bigger tire (34") for 20s if it'll allow. Definitely will go with 295/70/18 if staying at 18s.

I actually had to take it back to get it leveled cause it wasn't completely leveled. My dumb self didn't tell them to level the truck so they just installed it right out of the box. So they raised the front to the full 3" of lift and now the front sits a bit higher than rear so it has that funny squat look. I like how lifted the front is now would probably change the rear block from 1" to either 1.5" or 2" depending on how much the difference is. Will update with new pictures soon.

Truck looks great and I really like those wheels!

I'm biased, but I think the Titan (Gen1 or Gen2) looks best sitting at 3" front and 1.5-2.5" rear. My 2011 Pro4X CC is 3/2.5 and I love it. I'm running 295/70r18, and had to pull the mudflaps. Wanted them gone, anyway. You might get close to a 35" tire on 3" of front lift, depending on the tire. My 295/70r18s are 34.4" diameter as per the D!ck Cepek specs back when I bought them. They're shorter now with about 2/3 of the tread gone (but I'm at 45k and still have plenty of life left in them, so no complaints). The issue you run into is really the combination of height and width. Go much wider than 12" width and you begin to impact the allowable height. Go to 35" diameter (true) and you can't even run 12" width without hitting the frame rails at full lock. I've been considering trying some 12.5x35s, as some spec out at just 34.5" diameter and they're not but about 3/4" wider than my current tires. It's all in the spec of the particular tire, especially when you go to a flotation sized tire. The range for 35" flotation sized tires is 34.5-35.3" for the ones I've looked at over the past couple of years. The other downer is weight - those 12.5x35s are running 75-80lbs, which will crap your mileage, for sure. My 295s are heavy enough at 62lbs!

I was actually thinking about going with 295/60/20 for tires. Right around 34” been reading a lot on tire size that will fit with the rim size. Believe 35s will only fit with 6” lift and up. I would probably have to do major extensive surgery to fender well to make them fit on a 3” lift, at least from what I’ve been reading on here.

Technically you can fit some 35" tires. Trouble is, figuring out which ones, and with what rim combination. Beyond that, you won't likely notice any capability difference with the 295s, and you'll keep some power and mileage with a lighter unsprung weight. I really like the 295s on my truck. They go everywhere I need to go. And I beat my truck pretty hard in the dirt/fields on my mountain deer lease.

Was able to pick up my wheels this past weekend and ooo weee they look badass in person. Now gotta figure the rubbers for them. Any suggestions? Not looking for extreme offroad tires but do want an all terrain type. Something not to noisy which I know with 20s it’ll have some road noises regardless. Also not looking to spend like $400+ neither. Was looking at atturos trail blades xt. Very affordable all terrain type tire. Any suggestions will help thanks!!

These are a great option. Plus I think discount tire is awesome. My local DT shop has taken care of me. They even allowed me to buy a warranty for my Bridgestone's to cover them for replacement even though I didn't buy my tires from them. As a matter of fact they were the tires that were on my Titan when I bought it 🏆. I'd say they are at least 2 years old but aren't really wearing 🤔 and ride good. It's the BRIDGESTONE DUELER A/T REVO 3LT 265/70R18 124R E1 OWL at $322/tire. The tech said I probably have at least 4 years left of tread but I haven't gone off-roading. Just daily driving so far.
