    Looks great! I have the same truck, trying to do the same thing. Did you have to do anything besides the 5100s? New UCAs and CVs? What coils did you use?

    Looks great! I have this same truck. Would you mind posting a picture outside so we can see the tire to fender well clearance a little better? Are you still happy with it?

    OK, so I finally got the 1.5" Fabteck kit installed along with a 285/65R20 Falken Wildpeak AT4W. I love the look and there is zero rubbing

    Took this advice (Thanks @CrayCray) and installed my 5100's on the 4th notch. Been running on the stock tires for a couple days pre-alignment, and it's looking totally level.
    35's (285/75/18's) go on tomorrow.

    Do you have any outdoor pics you can share so we can see the spacing between the tires and the fender wells?

    Was this for me?
    Weather has been crap here, gray and rainy. No pics yet, sorry.
    Should be decent over the weekend, I'll try and get some pics.

    Nothing rubs during normal driving but the "body mount" is awful close at full steering lock at ride height. Would probably hit on a big bump. Might end up trimming it.
    (Should be obvious, but this is with the 35's. Not even close with the O.E. tires.)

    Hey Guys, have the same silver Limited Gen 3 w/ no TRD. Any one have experience leveling a non TRD and have recommendations? Seems as though the TRD Off Road requires different leveling than the TRD Sport but now sure how the NON TRD fit on the scale to avoid a squatting look.

    Also looking for suggestions with the following:
    1-1.5" Hub-centric spacer kit
    Leveling kit on front only or front w/ 1" back spacers
    Tonneau cover or Camper shell
    295/60/20 tires on the stock 20's baby 285/60 or 295/55

    Here are my recommendations:
    1) Do not under any circumstances put that size tire on a Tundra.
    2) Search.
    3) Come back AFTER you've done that and hopefully ask a slightly more informed question.

    Here’s a photo of a 2024 non TRD running a Rough Country spacer and 295/60r20 K03s I test drive before purchasing mine. It was slightly stiffer than my stock suspension 2025.

    Anyone know the stock height difference between a non TRD Platinum vs Platinum with TRD?
    I just picked up a non TRD and was wondering if it’s worth swapping it with TRD Off Road suspension?

    I'm not sure if that was a typo on not, but here's a size comparison from stock to your desired size.


    upload_2025-4-13_8-7-27.png



    Assuming you meant 295/60/20, which makes much more sense. Here's that comparison.


    upload_2025-4-13_8-15-5.png

    I'm in a Limited non TRD and thought, through my research the Fab-Tech 1.5" was the perfect level.
    https://fabtechmotorsports.com/product/1-5-leveling-kit-ftl5606/
    It ended up being just a hair too high in the front, so I corrected with a Cornfed .5" rear spacer. https://cornfedsuspension.com/cornfedtundrarears/
    If I had it to do over again, Id have gone with the Cornfed 1" spacer because I didn't want to mess with the rear, initially. https://cornfedsuspension.com/cornfed2nd3rdtundrafront/
    That being said, I'm not at all unhappy with how it sits. It's completely level, and I'll eventually go to a 275/60/20, when its time to replace the factory tires.
    Here's the truck leveled, front and rear on stock tires, hope this helps.

    Relax, that was a typo, meant 60 not 40 for aspect ratio - edited that post accordingly

    No worries, was hoping that was the case. Might want to edit the mods / truck deets also.
