    So after getting the truck lifted I notice that the TSS sensor does not response or work properly. Is that normal and is there a fix for it? Thank you.

    Your dealer will need to re program the TSS system on your truck. Mine did the same thing.

    Depending on which 2019 Tundra you have, it may or may not have the recall / software update for it. You can see details here: https://www.tundras.com/threads/two-new-recalls-koa-and-kob-pcs.43075/
    Some of the 2019s already have this completed before sale.

    Lifting the truck has been known to cause issues with the radar sensor getting off alignment. Some people have issues after lifting, some do not. At first, Toyota would not perform the recall work if you lifted your truck (or even put on bigger tires in some cases) but now they do, they just make you sign a waiver releasing liability. From what I understand, lifting the vehicle isn't as much of a problem as changing the angle of the vehicle (i.e. - raising the front and rear different amounts or 'leveling' it).

    Start with checking if you have an open recall for it (you can just call your dealer, give the VIN and ask if there are any open recalls to be done) and go from there.
