Not to spam my photos but I remember @devildodge asking me to try to take a comparison shot of my truck when I got it built to where I liked it. I remembered I have a photo in a similar angle of my 2011 Lonestar CC That i had set up somewhat similarly.

Here's that comparison:
What yall have seen with the Readylift 3.5 inch lift, 20x10 -19 Offset Hostile Rages, and Nitto Ridge Grapplers 305/55 R20

And my last truck: Bilstein 5100 set at 2.8, 18x9 XD ADDICTS -12 Offset, and Cooper ST MAXX 35/12.5 R20

I'm still gonna get a picture of my truck side by side with my buddy's truck which is almost a carbon copy of my 2011, but this will do for now.

Wow is all I can say.

The DS is so dated by DT. And I am a big crosshair fan...but don't miss it.

Great looking truck.

although not quite apples to apples- a decent comparison of 4th gen to 5th gen trucks. Maybe the "5th gen sucks guy "will take a closer look and appreciate the new release. unlikely but- carry on......

Here’s an apples to apples comparison I took at a dealer. The picture isn’t the best but it was good to see them side by side 83EAF187-4CDD-4A65-A013-98EAD66E24B1.jpeg

Wheel size shouldn't matter. Did you order your wheels and tires from Custom Offsets as well? I believe I saw your truck in their gallery. I know for a fact they used a TPMS Sensor that worked with the 4th gens. I called them after I ordered my wheels to ensure they double check to make sure they use the correct sensor but I think they just took an educated guess since the information isn't out there on what to use. I think the new trucks probably use a different frequency so it isn't reading. I need to call them today and see what they have to say and get a correct replacement.
my dealer ordered the sensors. I am not sure what to expect yet. The discount tire dealer and my dealership have been fighting which has made it difficult, but I finally told them to stop making me a middle man. I hope the factory order fixes it. You are right that they shouldnt matter. I did not order from custom wheel offset. Just Discount Tire. I will let you know what happens.

I was thinking about it just now on my drive to work this morning. I think it may have something to do with the tire fill alert system (horn honks at when proper PSI is reached) that has been implemented in the 5th gens. There may be some sort of disconnect there when switching from an OEM TPMS to an aftermarket.

Just speculating but it may be something to think about. When I go in to get my lift torqued back down at the 500 mile mark I'll see if they can fiddle with it or just get some OEM ones put in.

Here's my new setup 33" toyo open country r/t with some 18" bronze beauties :) View attachment 1024 View attachment 1025

Looks good! I see you put in a black hood badge, are you planning on blacking out all the chrome and having the first murdered out limited? That sure as hell would be slick.

Also how do those Toyos ride, I was debating as I'm sure most do the toyos or the Nittos. I went with the nittos and they are nice and quiet but being an F rated tire they sure are stiff. I can tell the added stiffness to my ride is coming through the tires, not so much my lift.

Damn that looks good. Hello 10 mpg though lol

No kidding, I dropped from 16.5 to 14.5 with the 3.5" lift and 33's. the change in final drive from the 35's would offset some of it but not much.

The 5th Gen looks great modified. Pretty exciting how many people got them lifted already.

I love how just the change to a more aggressive off road tire changes the look from luxury to aggressive so quick.

Thanks for sharing all the pics and info
