    My 2019 Tundra CM TSS 4x4 has been real good to me. It was all factory except...
    - VenomPower Terra Hunter 275/65/20s.
    - Windshield 50%, front sides 20%, all rear 5% tint
    - TRD rear sway
    - TRD CAI setup
    - Exterior LED bulbs.

    Some things were getting worn out (all factory black suspension ‍). Pulling a 7-8k lb cargo trailer 1200miles several times, cattle trailers, construction materials, it all took its toll. I keep a extra wide crossover toolbox in the back (aprx 300lbs). I was constantly hitting the bumpstops on railroad tracks and any dip. It was intolerable. I only had roughly 2" of space between frame and bumpstop. The leafs were shot and inverted. Rear shocks were toast. Front upper CA ball joints are toast and leaking. Tie rods may be going too. Coilovers I think are shot as well. It has took me a couple of months to collect everything but I've got it all now.

    I'm going Fox 2.5 RR (none dsc) and Ironman 4x4 UCA in front. I haven't decided on some mevotech or moog outer tierods or fork out the big dough for CBs upgraded ones. I installed OME Dakar leafs and Fox 2.0 today in the rear. I also installed CB+1 shackles and 3/4" carrier bearing drop. What a difference already! I forgot what a good suspension in my truck even felt like haha. I didn't get any measurements yet but I definitely gained 2"+ in the rear so far. My tundras rear doesnt twerk no more and no more slamming into bumpstops. I used a self service shop with lift on a Army base near me (perks of being prior Army lol). I had 2 people compliment it before even pulling out of the bay. I had a friend help with the install, the 2 of us together got it all done in 4 hours. Next up is the front, as time permits. I'm bad with getting photos but I did snag this one before calling it a day. I'll attempt to get some more photos of everything in the next few days. If anyone has some questions about install or anything else I'd be happy to try and help answer. Stay tuned for the front and whatever else i feel like upgrading!
