    Hello from the rainy PNW. Just bought my first Tundra, owned F-150's in the past and still own a 2001 F-150 to beat around in, but I love my new Tundra.

    It came with:
    3/1 level
    tinted windows
    Spray in bedliner
    Step sides

    I put 275/70/18 KO2's on the day i got it.

    Ordered a rollup tonneau cover.

    Plan in the short-term:
    TRD Sway bars, start with rear and look further at replacing the front.
    S&B CAI

    Open to suggestions where to go from there, maybe suspension the guy at Les Schwab said to replace the level with a suspension lift, thinking about it, what do you guys think?

    Robert

    Welcome to the inferno family. The answer to your question depends on what you will be using the truck for.

    Everyday truck, not hard offroading. I work from home, so no real commuting, but I remodel houses as a hobby, so light offroad, hunting and fishing, then hauling stuff around and occasionally towing. Everyday truck.

    I had the 3/1 readylift and had no problem on back roads in the colorado mountains. I did just replace the rear block with a @Coachbuilder1 shackle but the block was fine. Sounds like for your needs you don't really "need" to upgrade your suspension to coilovers.

    Welcome from Texas, IMHO, save your money on the CAI, it really doesn't do much, a lot of members on here will tell you the same, I have the same brand, didn't see any difference, more sound in engine compartment, but it's totally up to you on how you spend your money, get an exhaust from dirtydeedsindustries.com

    I agree with this. I got the K&N. I love the sound but i wish i had just gotten the K&N drop in filter.

    What kit is on it? Are you looking for more height or just a coilover system to match what you have now?

    I do not know what kit is on it. I do not need more height the tire guy said the front tires will wear uneven, not sure this is a huge concern.
