    Hi all,
    I am a new Tundra owner with a 2012 SR5, 4.6L, 4x4 DC. Rock stock except for firestone airbags and daystar cradles. I had to let go of my old 99 7.3 Powerstroke when the second kiddo arrived. No chance of fitting two rear-facing car seats in the back of an extended cab Super Duty, so I went with a Tundy based on the reliability reviews. I am planning a leveling kit and better tires on the 20" wheels (need something with serious siping for all the snow and cold temps).
    Here is a pic of her waaaaay overloaded with my 1100lb camper in the bed. Rode great with the airbags though. Almost as good as the Super Duty.........almost.
    More pics to come of the truck in the Colorado high country and some questions regarding a possible fuel issue......

    Welcome. I would recommend a complete suspension system with + rated leaf springs for that setup. Something like the OME heavy kit and keep the air bags.

    Be aware that you wont be able to drop your spare with your tailgate down. I have a truck camper and now I pull my tailgate before I load up my camper.

    I had honestly never thought of being unable to drop the spare. That's really good to know, thanks!
