    Yep Bluebottle is correct. My set up uses Daystar cradles to keep bags aligned under off-road articulation and to permit only the top of bag assembly to be attached to the frame. This one-side only attachment prevents any possibility of a bag tear when full droop is required. Note, off-road articulation is NOT limited when using cradles. 5psi is required for the Firestone bags because the factory bump stop is removed during install. However, I choose the AirLift product which has a bump-stop designed inside the bag. Meaning, I can run the AirLift bags with 0 psi. Said another way: at 0 psi, the ride is factory - can’t even tell the bags are installed. At 10 psi the rake is improved and the highway ride is a little stiffer if not trailer/towing. But here is the best part, if you tow anything from light utility to a boat or even to a camper - the bags make all the difference in Tundra handling. Night and day difference. If I needed a stock pick-up to tow my $hit everyday, I would not have bought a Tundra because trailering is not its handling strength. However, with bags plus all of the other strengths that come with the Tundra, I don’t think there is another 1/2 ton on the market as nice. I don’t know why it took me so long to figure this out and install the bags. Better late than never.

    @BlueBottle I got some numbers for you. Also, the TRD wheels measure 19 5/8" equals 19.625, which makes me 9.8125 to center. That's what all my figures are based off of. These figures are for Bilstein 6112s on top setting, with 1 CB shim on driver side to account for lean. In the rear I have 5160s with CB +2 shackles and TRD rear sway bar. I know the sway bar is irrelevant here.

    LF = 24.4375
    RF = 24.6875
    LR = 25.1875
    RR = 25.4375

    This gives me a 3/4" of rake F to R and with a little less than half a tank of fuel a 1/4" of lean. SmartSelect_20180508-181020_Gallery.jpg

    @BlueBottle I'll weigh in for the DC and ADS kiddies

    Vehicle Type - DCSB (6.6 not 8.0)
    Lift/Suspension - ADS 2.5 Coils* Front/2.5 Piggy Rear w/ 1.5" Shackle
    FL : 26.5"
    FR : 26.5"
    RL : 25.0"
    RR : 27.0"

    *Small caveat. I am running 700lb coils instead of standard 650lb coil.

    aaaaaaaaand apparently my driver side rear has something going on that's causing it to sag 2".. yay more projects.

    3” lift, black step bars, aftermarket wheels, LT305/55R20 was this way when I brought it.
    My 2015 Toyota Tundra 4x4 - 1794 has fender flares from the ground to bottom of flares
    Front- 38 1/2”
    Rear - 41”
    My tires are 275/55R 20
    What would my lift be or is it just a leveling kit.

    Sorry for the delay but thanks for all the contributions. I have updated the master list on the OP.



    Your measurements seems high for your suspension. 4-5" of lift off ADS? Are you measuring correctly?

    All our measurements are to the center of hub and NOT the ground.

    @BlueBottle I'll check my tape measure's calibration tomorrow to be certain :rofl:. They come standard with 600lb coils which give 1-3" lift. I'm running 700lb coils.

    @BlueBottle

    Pulled it fully in the garage to measure this time so it was generally level.

    FR: 26"
    FL: 26.5"
    RR: 26.5"
    RL:27"
