    Been reading this forum for many years. Just finished the build on my 3rd Tundra Cremax that I have owned. I have been driving & modifying Tundras since 2008. Have owned 2008 CM (Tundra Grade), 2010 CM (Platinum) and now a 2020 (1794 edition). Will be posting pics of the 2020 in the next day or so for anyone looking for ideas/feedback on the: RC 6 inch lift w/ Vertex coilovers with remote reservoirs front & rear. This build I finally hit the numbers spot on to run 34.8 tall tires with no CMC, no rubbing or scrubbing etc...and retaining all mudflaps, almost a flush stance, slight poke if that... (not enough to spray side of truck with stones & mud), no fender flares needed.
    Also, always read a lot about what exhaust to put on tundra....my 2010 (still driving it) has 240K miles on it with a 3/2 lift and the original TRD dual exhaust!, no issues. Otherwise DirtyDeeds or Carven would be on the new truck.

    Truck is running Falken Wildpeak AT3w's, 285/75 r18. Chose these because they are taller than a 35x12.50 tire (most popluar brands are 34.5)
    These are 34.8/11.3
    Width on this build was really important so no modifications needed for clearance. I have run Toyo Open Country, General Grabber, and Wrangler Duratracs over the years, btw...got over 60k on the duratracs on my lifted 2010 CM. I am in NJ, so these Falken's will be fine for beach, snow and the rain.
    Wheels are Fuel Vector D601, Gunmetal Grey/Matte Finish 18x9 +20 offset (lots of measuring & formulas to get the stance I wanted) and Fuel's rims for Tundra are Hub Centric! For me that was important, nothing needed to be added to do that either, good stuff.
    Very pleased and impressed with RC Vertex as well. I grew up with the good old Jeep CJ5 & CJ7's when we ran RC shocks etc..., they have come a long, long way.
    This is my 3rd Tundra with the K&N CAI. Two prior sets on my other Tundras went the distance both over 200k miles, no issues, still going.
    Personally, I like the sound and throttle response, even if I am pulling in mostly 'hot' air.
    No peddle commander for me or throttle body spacers.
    Finally, can't go wrong with the TRD duals, expensive, but go the distance and last! Every flowmaster I ever ran sounded great but rusted out in less than 3 years. TRD duals are loud when you want them to be, quiet when you want....and no drone. Going 14 years strong and 240k miles later on my 2010 CM. Which sadly I will now be selling the 2010 CM to make room for this 2020.
