88Rotors appointment was completed about a month ago.

Here is the finished look with Westcott Designs collar lift, Method 305 17” x 8.5” +25 offset wheels and Falken 285/75/17 tires.

OEM crash pads are still intact and aftermarket RokBlokz mud flaps (not in photo) do not rub.

Looks so good! Compared to Everything TRD's build, you have the same wheels but different tires but it looks like you have less poke?

The wheels have the exact same offset as Everything TRD, +25.

I’ve read that E Load tires can affect the drive quality on smaller trucks. How do you like the way your car drives now?

Just got the truck back from Wescott Designs and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Have a couple other mods in mind also

Dude, awesome set up. I am getting the WD collar in a few weeks and was hoping to do this same size!! I have +25 offset in method 318.

Any chance you could show a pic or detail the trimming you had to do? TIA

How’s the ride quality on and off the road with the Westcott lift kit and Nitto grapplers? Bumpy? Smooth? Tires quiet or noisy?
I’m going to be adding the same to my 25 Tacoma OR hybrid. Thinking of doing 35x12 with Method 703’s +35 offset. Also wondering if I’ll need to do any trimming or will just removing the crash plates do the trick?

Sorry I haven’t been as active on here as I was before. The E load tires definitely makes the ride a little harsher. The ride is a little stiffer than stock for sure. I’m eventually going to do full coilovers but for the price you can’t go wrong with the WD preload collar kit. The ridge grapplers tire noise is not bad. We just recently did a 12 hour roundtrip road trip and the tire noise going 80 mph was not an issue for us at all. For my setup they did have to trim the bottom of the front fender and liner just a bit.
