28.5 RSTS Towing Level Update
Hello all,
Well I upgraded to 16" rims and put 235/85R 16 tires on. I raised my pinbox up to the highest hole which I gained 1.5" and lowered my leaf springs to the lowest hole which I got another 2". With everything done I gained 5.5" total. My front is still a little high but not as much as it was. My wife and I are going to the Las Vegas Nascar Race in March so I'll see just what all my upgrades did. My next option is to add a spacer between the spring brackets and the frame which I really don't want to do. That will make my center of gravity even higher. My big thing is that I've even out the weight between both 5er axles.
Have a Blessed Day.
Chris

Be sure and get a new height measurement so you can be comfortable when approaching the overpasses.

The tundra is 66" to the ground. This is something for me to consider when I go to replace my truck. I have 15 inch tires and factory spring hight on the camper.
