    Hey all,

    Just got a used 2010 Tundra CrewMax. Mostly for having more room on trips over the wife's Tacoma, and to use for towing a small travel trailer (Forest River No Boundries 19.5).

    While this truck will be used probably 75 percent street, I'm very interested in finding a suspension that will work well on and off road. Looking at something rebuildable so I can play with valving.

    My wife's Tacoma has 5100's and rear add a leaf for the weight of the shell and it rides great on road.

    I have a 92 Toyota with TC LT front end, Kings, bypasses in the rear, etc.

    I'm hoping to build the Tundra somewhere between the two.

    I look forward to using thetsearch function and learning a lot. Thanks for having me.

    Kyle

    Truck just home from the lot. Already been through some changes. Nothing too exciting yet but might start a build thread.


    The wife's Tacoma. We have since color matched the grill surround and blacked out the emblem. Only chrome left now is the rear bumper.
