    I was looking to install a 6-7" suspension lift with coilovers on my 2019 Tundra, it's a Crewmax SR5 (Trd Off-Road). I read a lot about the 2016-2018 BDS 7" Coilover Suspension, I know about the outer tire wear issue. Planning on running a max -18 offset so I won't have much poke (hopefully avoiding the issue). I contacted BDS and they've said that they haven't tested their 2016-2018 suspension on their 2019. Although I've seen people run the 16-18 on their 19 but am unsure if any mods where done. So if anyone has the 16-18 lift on their 19 or knows anyone with it on a 2019 I'd love to hear about the install and if they ran into any problems/ if anything required modification and if anyone knows about suspension differences between the 2018 and 2019.

    Thanks!

    Thanks man! That's all the reassuring I needed probably going to order this bad boy. Quick question; did you swap out your blocks or do any mods to improve the ride, I'm looking to go for some atlas leaf springs, +3 Coachbuilder shackles and the Coachbuilder Steering Kit

    No I just used there kit so far I have plans for the future just have been throwing alot of money at it lately so need to slow down a bit. I also run 20x10 wheels at a -18 offset like you mentioned you wanted just be ready to do a BMC it barely touches with 35s but with the BMC I'm now clearing 38s
    I put 35s on but with the 7 they looked small

    Your truck looks real nice with those 38's but the MPG :annoyed:. I was looking at some fuel forged wheels they come in a 20x9 and +1 offset not sure how much cutting they need. To be honest I'm not sure what I really want. As far as looks of 35's on a 7" I will probably have the coilovers adjusted to the lowest setting and then order leaf springs and the shackles so I can sit the truck lowest height the lift allows. Looking to go for a 6-6.5 in the front. Again thanks for the help man really appreciate your time.
