    Everyone, I picked up a set of 5100s and am going to install them on my own on my 2020 CrewMax. Looking to see the consensus on which setting looks and perform the best. Any TSS issues when going level at the top setting?

    Thanks in advance

    What is "TSS?" I have them on the front at the middle setting, just to level out a tad. You want a photo (275/65-18's)?

    TSS = Toyota safety sense.

    some people had issues with all the safety equipment when lifting their trucks.

    I've been looking into leveling my truck as well and would recommend measuring the difference between the front and the back of your truck at the wheel-wells. It seems like there is a lot of differences in the amount of rake between each truck. For my truck, adding 2" up front only will leave me with about 1/2" of rake. Hoping I wont have issues with the TSS after that.

    Id love to see a picture of your ride. The 2020s have the radar off the “T” emblem in the grill and there are some concerns about leveling and it throwing off the radar fit adaptive cruise control, avoidance warning, etc

    How close are your measurements (front to rear) from being level? I'm looking at middle setting on 5100s but I'll be about 7/8" - 1" lower in the front still. I love the look of yours at middle setting.

    it is really close, but the front is probably about 1/2" lower than the rear.

    I took these pictures because when I was researching, no one else did. Here are four different pictures of my Tundra.

    Before and after. Front was 2" lower than rear on stock suspension. Bilstein 5100s on middle setting on front and 5100s on rear. Added TRD Pro wheels and up one tire size to 275 70 18 Cooper AT3s. Front is now about half inch lower than rear.
