    Just bought my first Tundra, here's what I'm looking to get done suspension wise pretty shortly. Let me know what you think, is it overkill? Think I'll be happy?

    Truck Info:
    2019 1794 4X4

    Driving Info:
    Mostly pavement driving, during hunting season there will be some light offroading with a descent load in the bed. I also haul a 24ft bumper pull ultralite travel trailer probably 4 times a year.

    What I'm trying to accomplish:
    I want to bring the front up so I can put 275/65R20 Cooper ATP on the stock rims, keep close to the factory rake, smoother ride on and off road, and have an enjoyable drive with the travel trailer.

    Suspension Upgrades:
    • Bilstein 6112 set at 1.9"
    • Bilstein 5160
    • Boss 4X4 Adjustable 1' - 1.5' Shackles in the rear
    • Airlift Load Lifter 5000 Airbags

    F4154C77-C25B-4371-83A0-DA05C3E11301.jpg I’m running the 6112’s on the top setting with 1/2” shims. Did coachbuilder +3 shackles in rear with 5100 shocks. Also running the same size tire 275/65/20 Michelin LTX. Only thing I had to trim was the skid plate, also installed 1” spacer on front bumper to give me more tire clearance. It’s a great ride on and off road! Good luck with your build!

    Got a similar setup but looking to keep the factory rake. You'll be happy with the ride!
    I was thinking of going with a 275/65R20 tires but still researching which one to go with for the Chicago winters.

    Here's what I did for suspension upgrade:
    • Bilstein 6112 set at 1.9"
    • CB 1/4" shim on driver side
    • Bilstein 5100
    • CB +3 Shackle
    • Firestone Air Bags
