I've owned my 2007 Toyota SR5 Tundra since 2009. In those 8 years, I have not done a thing to improve the look of the vehicle. The previous owner had leather seats installed and I am grateful for that upgrade. A few years ago, I bought a full set of Michelin LTX tires. They were supposed to be the longest lasting tires on the market. Well, the lasted me less than 30,000 miles. Apparently, Michelin is having issues with these tires. So, about 6 months ago, I decided to do something that I have always wanted to do....buy some agressive looking tires. I bought some goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac All Terrain Tires. They look awesome, but the old wheels just weren't doing it for me and over the 10 years of the vehicle's life, they have begun to corrode and the chrome finish was flaking off. I decided to empty my "new tool" account and buy new wheels. Now, I can't have a cool set of wheels and tires and leave it set up lower in the front and higher in the rear. So that lead me to getting a truck leveling kit from Suspension Maxx. The kit raised the front of the truck by 2.5". It doesn't sound like a lot, but it made a pretty decent difference. I am super happy with the way my 10 year old truck looks now. I can see myself keeping this truck for another 3 to 5 years. Here are a few pictures from when I first bought the truck and a few after the facelift.
