I have been reading this forum like mad the last week or so and am getting more anxious then ever to hit the rosd. I have graduated from traveling in a VW camper for the last 13 years to getting a 2004 Toyota Tundra 4x4 and plan to get a Hawk from FWC.
My question is in what I need to do to the truck. Being a girl(which is no excuse, but I'm not as up on suspension as some of the guys might be!!) I am confused about 2 things. I went to the tire place to price the load range "E" tires and he could not find anyone who makes them in a 265 70 R16. Only 265 75 R16. He will not put the 75's on my truck because Toyota says max size is 70... He can get me a "D" load in my size though.. Would the "D" load work or is it OK to go to the 75's??
I also plan to use the hellwig springs.. I have no clue what shocks are on the truck. I am afraid of the air bags cause of leakage and not having air with me. Should that be sufficient to start out with? I know no one can tell me what I will be comfortable with, but I am having a hard time finding a place to start. I live in Florida and am not finding many folks around here to answer my questions...
I have already learned a ton from reading all the message boards on here, so I am really hoping someone could help me out.
Also my truck had the trd off road package if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help
