    Ok so I feel like this might be a big question but I can’t find much on it. I have a 2018 tundra limited and I want to lift it Toyota told me I can’t because of the radar and I use it all the time but I just want a leaving kit 1 to 2 inches and was wondering 1. Would this affect my radar 2. What would be the best company for this.

    2” level won’t cause any ill effect. I did a 2/1 on my 18’ and the radar system has worked perfect.

    Alot of them
    I have a 4/2 with no issues. Whoever told you that you can't is incorrect. Alot of dealers put lifts on the trucks before selling them.

    I haven’t run into any issues with the PCS on my 2018 with a 3/1. As long as you don’t go nose-high/squat truck there really shouldn’t be a problem. Toyota did make a big stink at first when there was a recall/firmware upgrade on the PCS and people brought in their lifted trucks, but I think they backed down from that stance since.

    Yea. After just as many completely stock trucks as lifted trucks had the same issues, I think Toyota realized they had a hardware/firmware issue on their end and not so much a height altering issue.

    3/1 Lift
    I put a 3/1 leveling kit on my truck 6 months ago. Everything was fine with the PCS until I got an alignment this past week. When they plugged in the OBD reader and set the alignment it reset everything and my whole dash lit up. I took it to the dealer and they said the millimeter wave radar sensor has to be replaced. Does anyone know of a different solution?

    Snow only thing to stop the TSS so far for me. I think one issue might be keeping some rake for the radar. I have a F 2.25” and R 2.75” so it has worked appropriately a couple of times for me.
