    Purchased 1 owner 2008 Crewmax 4x4 Tundra with 200k miles. Seems to be in decent condition however I think it needs a suspension upgrade / update.

    I would like to keep it budget friendly as I won't be off-roading with this truck much at all if any. Would like to run 33' or 35' tires. It won't be daily driven.

    Any recommendations. I did some research and did some 5100s and before I knew it I was up to like 3500$ for suspension / lift /etc. I'm ok with a level kit, spacers, or maybe max 2.5' lift. Like I said the likelihood of me actually having this thing offroad is slim to none.

    I'm actually considering maybe getting some All-terrain tires and maybe just updating shocks / springs for a better ride. I think what I got is shot.

    Suggestions / recommendations. Thanks!

    Given the age and mileage, you'll benefit from new struts and shocks for sure. Spacer kits will just keep the old parts in place.

    You can do it on a budget. This combo here will lift it up without using preload.
