I am about to install the Truxxx leveling kit in the front of the 3, wondering if anyone else has done this and how well it worked.

Well 35's was the actual goal, hadn't heard about the T-bar option. I was actually expecting to see a little better out of the rear window, we will see, thanx.

Thanks, this wouldn't be the first time I took the overly expensive route. Speaking of 35's, is there some rule of thumb for rim offset, I wanted to go with 35x12.5X17 on 17x11" rims, any issues or thoughts on that ?

I would do a search on the offset as I know there has been a lot of discussion about this. Where in FL are you located?

I spend some time in Sarasota and Longboat. Are you interested in making a drive up to Ocala to join other FL owners on some off road outings up in the forest. Guessing it shouldn't be but 1 1/2 hour or less drive from Bradenton.

At least from everything I've seen posted on here an 11" rim is too wide. It's going to stick out a good bit. A 9" wide rim would be a better choice.
