    2019 Tundra TRD Off Road
    Hey all,

    Looking to upgrade my 2019 Tundra with either a lift or leveling kit and unsure what the best route to go is as I have zero experience in this kind of thing.

    Id like to get more clearance for taking the truck down forest service roads for hunting, fishing & camping. Some of the roads here are pretty rough but I'll try and avoid the nasty ones as I'd like to keep the truck looking good for a while. Not planning on doing any off-roading for fun, just functionally taking the truck to get me into places.

    I also have a travel trailer that is about 8000lbs. Currently it's stored at a trailer / campsite in storage and I just pull it out of storage and put on a spot to camp so not really moving it too much. Eventually I'd like to sell and get something lighter and smaller and tow that into places so take that into consideration.

    I do also plan to add either some sort of rack to the back or a canopy with a rooftop tent as well as upgrading the front bumper to have some sort of winch. Not sure if the added weight of those things would change what is best.

    Currently the truck is sitting on 275/65R/18 K02 Tires. I'd like to keep them for the time being as I don't want to spend a ton of money right off the bat but not sure how they would look after having a larger lift and If I will need to sell those and go with something like a 34.

    Also not looking to spend a ton of money so something that would be functional for what I need and that doesn't break the bank.

    Thanks for any advice!

    For the front I would go with new coilovers instead of a spacer lift for your situation. In the rear with the trailer and canopy I’d go with s new leaf pack, shackles and maybe an air ride. Do not get blocks. The extra trailer weight will flatten those OEM springs out on blocks

    In the same boat. I'm considering the toytec boss and keeping my trd offroad wheels does anyone have pics of 3/1 with stock wheels or Bilstein 6112 at top setting and stock rear? thanks
