    Hello from Austin Texas. I picked up a 2008 SR5 double cab, dark blue TRD. I’ve wanted one for years but they’re proud of these things! That’s an advantage when it comes time to sell but can hurt a little when you’re the buyer.

    I’m investigating all of the ways to lift it a little. I think I basically just want to level it. It’s my avatar. I’ve added some steps and a hard tonneau cover. After I level it I hope to be done with any mods. I guess we’ll see. Haha

    Welcome from CO. Most folks just upgrade to Bilsteins 5100 and set it at the top setting to level it out. You'll get other options here shortly from other members . . .

    I was looking at those online yesterday. I certainly like that better than blocks. It's only got 80K miles on it so will just upgrade the shocks all around with Bilsteins. I had them on my WJ that I had before upgrading to the Tundra.Thanks for the reply and the welcome!
