    So I need some help in deciding what I want.

    it’s time to treat myself, I have a 2018 Tundra Sr5 Crewmax 4x4 with the TSS Off road package.

    I’m looking to get a better/ higher stance and much more capable ride. I just ordered the BDS 3 inch coil over kit ( roughly $3,000) about 3 days ago.

    unfortunately the lift kit is out of stock and will no be shipped until another 4 weeks or so.

    I’ve been rethinking it and honestly I’ve been wanting the Magnuson Supercharger by sparks parts ( about $6,500)

    the big question that I’m stuck on is should I wait 4+ weeks for the suspension kit? Or should I get my refund and use it towards the supercharger.
    Tundra owners with the supercharger and/ or BDS coilover lift if you can help me and tell me which is much more worth the money or honestly any advice would help.

    Thank you Tundra Family !

    I would get the suspension but only if the truck got re-geared along with it.

    Wholly Moly! Supercharger! When you are driving around, and you have like 500 horsies, every second of driving will be so fun. BUT!! If you use you Tundra for serious, multi-hour, off roading entertainment for at least twice a month, you might live that off road capability.

    I would do the supercharger if you can afford to. The lift can be done at anytime, but the SC is a hefty investment, and $6500 is not installed. All in you will be around $8k+ but it is every penny worth it and then some!!!

    Why bother picking? If you can afford to drop $8-10k on a supercharger then you can afford to do the other mods.

    Yes I can afford the supercharger, install, and DAP Tune for about 8.5k. BUT it will be the only mod I get for atleast a good while.
    If I went for the bds lift kit I’m spending $3,000 for the lift + $1,570 tires + $1,500Nitro 4.88 gears/ Regearing. That’s about 6k not including installation prices.
    So basically it’s almost even ball game when it comes to price.

    looks like I’ve made my decision though. I’ll be having a SUPERCHARGED TUNDRA SOON.
    Going to cancel my BDS order now.
    Thanks for the help Tundra family

    Just curious, why are you going through the expense/trouble of re-gearing if you plan on only running 33.5 inch tires? A re-gear is really only needed when you get up into the true 35 inch tires.

    If you have time install the supercharger yourself.

    If you get the SC I wouldn’t regear unless you’re gonna run 37’s. Mine runs fine on 35’s.
