2016 Tundra 1794 6in lift 4x4

6 inch Procomp Lift, 20in Fuel wheels with Toyo RT tires, Retrax matt black electric bed cover, AMP retractable steps, etc will add the few other things on the truck later

I saw this site about a month ago and said man I've been missing out. Great work that you all do. I have always driven Fords 150,250 my whole life. Went to trade in my 15 F250 for the new f-150 last Dec. but didn't like it at all. I knew the 17 F-250 were going to be completely different and I thought I would try a Tundra until the new 17 super duty comes out. Well I not going back to Ford this Tundra is the best Truck I've owned hands down "except on gas" but the way I look at it is if you are worried about the cost of fuel for any vehicle you can't afford it. I bought my Tundra 12/20ish 16. I bought it that night and the next day it was being lifted. I russed on the lift and went with a Procomp. Nice lift but I wanted something different and I just ordered a BDS 7in with Fox coil over and it should be here tomorrow. I would like some ideas and different things to know about the BDS kit I would greatly appreciate it. Thought
I would introduce myself and by the way this is a first for me on group forms and I really appreciate all the information and hard work you do. I guess I upload photos of my truck? If that's wrong please delete or tell me to. Thanks

As I see it now Toyota holds its value better. The only way would be if Toyota didn't do anything by 2018/19. On motor, technology features. Because I'm not going to lie Ford is killing it in the technology department.
