    Just picked this 2016 Platinum Tundra a few weeks ago. I love it. It rides like a dream. I bought this off a private party and he had done a lot of mods. I will be doing some mods of my own. I am going to be getting different wheels with an offset that tucks in the tires in a little bit more. I will be selling these if anyone is interested. I am also thinking of getting the FIRESTONE ride rite bags for the back of the truck. The back end sags a little bit and I don't like it. I will also be doing a paint protector film for the front of the truck. It's a Xpel ultimate film. I'm a loving this truck though. It drives like a dream. Look forward to posting some of my mods in the future.

    Thanks guys. It wasn't raining, but I was cloudy. It was a rare dry day in Seattle. That's why I took advantage of the day and washed my truck yesterday.

    Air bags shouldn't be used to fix sag from a topper for running for everyday use. Just when towing. Better option is a small block lift, add a leaf or shackles in my opinion.

    I went to Les Shawb and they recommended the air bags because it wouldn't affect the ride quality. I guess by putting the bags there, I can air them up to whatever level I want and it won't affect the ride quality. With blocks and shackles they said it might make it a rough ride.

    1" block or shackles don't affect the ride quality. Have had block and now have shackles. Add a leaf can be stiff but you could do the icon 3 pack that improves ride.

    Welcome from San Diego Carlos. Nice looking truck ! Love that matching shell. I think Les Shawb is feeding you a little line to sell and install some bags. I have bags on mine, but have them set up a little different so the ride doesn't affect me. If you want to raise the truck up some with the bags, I don't think you will be happy for everyday driving. It will affect your ride. Think you should follow Brians lead and go with shackles. Just my thoughts............Good luck with all.

    I see. I think I will be looking into this. I don't know if I am going to go back to Les Shawb or maybe go to 4wheelparts instead.

    Thanks guys. I'm really enjoying this new truck. I've been a Ford F-150 for the last 4 trucks. I don't think I can go back after owning this Tundra

    Welcome. BTW, I'd take Brian's (csuviper) advice over Les Scwabb's all day long, and twice on Sundays.
    Check out Toytec shackles. Good product (I have 'em) cheaper and easier to install than bags and they're the right tool for the job.
