    Greetings,
    I am brand new to the forum and looking for some advice.
    For the past 20+ years, I have built up old FJ40s and FZJ80 landcruisers for off-road fun. I am familiar with what to use (ARB, Slee, Old Man Emu, etc.) and what to stay away from on Landcruisers, but don’t know much about what to use for Tundras.
    I am located in the DFW, Texas area and am looking for a mild lift (2-3”) for my 2017 Tundra. It is a Silver 1794 4x4. I don’t want to off-road it the way I used to off-road my LCs, but do want to be able to comfortably go up some mountain roads and trails in New Mexico and Colorado. Also, I definitely don’t want a “mall-lift” and just use some cheap spacers.
    So, want is a recommended lift and more importantly, is there a recommended shop in DFW if I want to hire it out in the interest of time?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Yup! I am in DFW! Welcome from West FW!

    I have a ToyTec BOSS Suspension System with shackles and adjustable SPC UCAs on my truck. I love the look and the ride.

    Where in DFW are you located? I had the NTB near me install everything and put on my new wheels and tires.

    Nice....you should check out the Texas thread...there are a couple just for DFW.

    The NTB by my house is amazing but I have been going there for years. I see if I know anyone who can give a name of a good place in your area to get a lift installed
