    Absolutely brand new to tundras, my question is this I would like to have a little extra height added to my truck, be able to clear larger tires and be able to support a 700lb constant in my bed while towing an enclosed trailer as well.
    What is the best way to go about this? I have had 3 firestone air ride set ups in the past and would most likely go with that. I also like the factory stance and would like to keep that and not kill my ride quality, is this possible?

    If I'm reading this right, you're going to have a 700lb load in the bed most of the time in addition to towing a trailer? What is the weight and tongue weight of the trailer?

    Yes, I keep my dog box in the bed most all of the time. The trailer currently holds a SxS UTV, my weigh safe hitch on my dads Chevy has it reading 300lbs tongue weight.

    Well, here's my take.....start out cheap and work your way up. In theory you're a good candidate for a new leaf pack and/or some rear shocks along with airbags, however, I'd start at the airbags and see how you feel about things. I might consider a rear sway bar to stabilize the rear but that will come at the cost of ride quality off road. Then if you still need a lift you can determine whether you want to go blocks, or shocks/leafs. EDIT: my reasoning behind this is, if you like the ride quality and handling with just airbags, which you'd probably want regardless of how you go, then you can determine if you want to go with a simple block or shackle kit, or an actual suspension upgrade like shocks or springs.

    OME is the lift you would want for carrying heavy loads/towing.
