    Recently purchased a used 2014 tundra and I can’t figure out how what kind of suspension work has been done. Nothing identifiable shown under the truck. Any idea based on the pictures? Or a good way to measure it? Thanks

    The imgur link is not working. Try to use the "upload a file" towards the bottom of the page.

    Any pictures of the inner wheel well? Front shocks/coilover? And rear leaf springs and shackles? It's really hard to say without a closer look. You may just have a coil spacer and lift blocks.

    Looks like you have a spacer in the front to level the truck. It’s on top of the front coil shock

    Looks like only a 2” lift up front at most. The spacer for a 3” is bigger

    The rear helper spring appears to be maybe a Super Spring. Need to see pics of both ends of rear spring to be sure.

    Are those wheels really wide or do you have 2 inch wheel spacers in there....

    It is a super spring. I see the logo on the stopper.

    285/55/20. It has spacers which I’m unsure about because there’s steering wheel wobble at 55 and I’m assuming it’s from the spacers

    I'd rather be running it all stock than that set up. I would imagine the ride is pretty rough. Hopefully the wheel spacers are the correct type for your truck hub centric vs lug centric, I'm not sure what one it should be, but the wobble scares me.

    The rear isn’t terrible, it’s probably unnecessary though if you arent hauling.

    The front is just a generic spacer lift. Not the greatest thing to run, but you need some kind of lift for those wheels/tires.

    If I were you, i would pull off a wheel and see what kind of spacer you have. You don’t need them.

    Looks like your front has a spacer and 2 shims

    I’ll pull them off and see. The look isn’t worth the wobble

    It was used for towing before I got it. I’ll end up taking the spacers off.

    Super Spring was an option I was considering. You get about a 1.5" lift.

    The Super Srings can help with tired leafs and get you some lift too. Easy to put on doesn't hurt either, since that means they are easy to remove. The Super Springs with load change will adjust accordingly but not as efficient on the Tundra.

    Thanks. I traded in my Chevy with 201k miles for my first Toyota. I think I got a deal on it even with 100k miles. I have a work truck so I'll realistically drive it <10k miles a year max. Hopefully it’ll last me many years to come.
