    Need some opinions. I feel like my ride is not as comfortable/smooth as it once was, even having just bought it at 120,000. Drive is not uncomfortable, but could be better. So I’m looking to upgrade my suspension system. Does this make sense for a 2011 at 150,000? Is this about the right age for some work?

    I go on job sites and dirt roads at least weekly, but no off-roading. And I live where it snows in the winter. I’m open to a ~2” lift if at all, not open to lowering the truck. What have you guys had success with?

    This is for a 2011 Tundra Limited CrewMax 4WD. She’s a beaut.VidMate

    At that age and mileage, yes you have some worn components, shocks for sure. What is your budget? Low $ would be to replace stock shocks, little more $ would be 5100s, touch more money you can get 6112s. Both of those options are adjustable lift from about an inch to 2.5. If you want to spend a little more you can get a toytec or OME susupension which are about 2.5 lift and if budget is not a concern look at fox or kings. Suggest you look at the suspension forum here, lots of info there so you know the options and benefits of each.

    That! As Frank stated you probably have worn out some components at that age and mileage. But until we know your budget and driving terrain, it's hard to provide an accurate recommendation.
