    I've read up on lifts and leveling. I'm pretty sure this is correct, but I'd like confirmation before purchase...I'm use to lowering cars, not lifting trucks.

    First off, I don't off road. (Drove through a hay field to load an atv at the pond once in the 3 years I've owned the truck.)

    I want to keep/improve my stock ride.
    I'm wanting to level, MAYBE 2" lift as an option.
    Current suspension is full stock.
    2013 tundra sr5 crewmax 4wd TRD offroad.
    I don't want to compromise towing or hauling weights. (Atvs/utility trailer)

    I'm leaning towards the 5100- possibility the 6112. No immediate plans for wheels and tires, but it'd be a nice option to adjust the existing suspension if/when I did.

    The main goal is a sleek level look that's reliable for the long term and has the option to lift upon future mods.

    I’d personally skip the 5100s and get a better solution like toytec alumas. Reviews that I’ve read seem like folks think they’re not as stiff/firm as 6112s.

    I have the 5100s up front (35k miles on them) top clip and toytec shackles at 1” in back, and am considering upgrading to toytec alumas all around for improved ride. The 5100s aren’t terrible - I’d describe them as firm - but am looking for some improvement for my primarily road-based daily driver. I keep debating on just going for it with fox or kings w/ resin’s, but hard to justify since I dont off-road. I also tow a 2k utility trailer with a Ranger and dirt bikes a few times a year - considering road master active suspension to help out with sag on that. Lots of positive reviews on here about that.

    I'm not totally satisfied with my alignment having the 5100s at the top, so I am planning on doing SPC UCAs to get better specs soon. I figure it’s time to upgrade the suspension while I’m in there.

    Not sure if that’s helpful. I keep going around in circles trying to figure out which way I want to go with suspension. Trying to go cheap inevitably ends up costing more in the long term.
