Whaddya think?

    3/1 or 3/2 looks about right. Any side shots?

    Yeah, probably a 3/2 leveling kit with the spacer up front and the lift block in the rear riding on Bilstein 4600 series shocks.

    Thanks guys! It rides fine to me...It only has 58k miles and my previous rig to judge from was an ‘03 Dodge 2500 diesel, that thing was like driving a sledgehammer so comparatively this Tundra drives like a dream!

    And now the follow-up question is...Should I put front diff and carrier bearing drop kits on it if they’re not already on there? And what drop settings?

    Wouldn't hurt to do either/both, but probably not the end of the world if you don't. I've read on here that some say the diff drop doesn't make a bit of difference on a 3" level. I installed a 1" drop with my level kit. Be prepared for a giant PIA procedure unless you have a magic reaching tool or hands the size of a four year old. The CB drop kit is basically a couple of thick washers. It reuses the same bolts, so you could just go to your local hardware store and buy some washers/spacers or something about 1/2" thick that the bolts can go through.
