hi, check this out: List of Spacer Lifts for the 2007 Tundra

And about your CV angles question, yes the diff drop will help reduce the angle, but it's nothing dramatic. New high angle kartek cv boots or porsche 930 boots will be the only thing, aside from a SAS, that will relive the cv angle stress completely.

Also, I don't think the 12.50 wide tire will fit on stock wheels either. Check out this thread: http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...-s-m-t-s-33-a/ , he has the Revtek 3" kit and 20" aftermarket wheels. If anything, it's a good reference for you with photos.

You can run some but not all 12.50 wide on the stock wheels. You are better off with something 12.2 wide or less. 305/65/18, 305/70/18, or 285/75/18 seem to be the most common, but there are quite a few on here running Cooper and other 35x12.50x18.

07 DC SR5 TRD 4x4 5.7 TRD exhaust, 35K miles, 17 mpg city after battery disconnect reset & removing extra (charcoal?) air filter. Truxedo Lo-Pro with deck rails.

Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), just swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5."

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."

Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.

After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.

Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.

Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.

Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.

Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
