    Well title pretty much says it...
    I'm suspecting the silver hockey pucks and blocks under the leaf springs are a cheap solution to lift the truck?

    I bought it this way.
    Not knowing much about tundras I didn't spot it.

    Yep common spacer lift. Swap out for coil overs / shackles if you want a better ride.

    check out toytec lifts website. They have a pretty good selection and it may help give you an idea of what you need / want. They are pretty helpful at answering questions too.

    fox / Kings / icon / toytec boss / old man emu / Bilsteins etc. are all good brands

    OP if you’re planning to do any significant off-roading, I’d swap those out quickly. Any entry level coil over set-up will serve you better than that spacer lift. Ask @sdde4n what can happen...

    Looks like a cam leak in the background too. Unless it’s stained by something else

    Your spacer looks a bit different, but same idea.

    Small spacer lift in the front with a block in the back, no harm done!

    I don’t want to hijack this thread too badly, but it happened while running hard with far more capable trucks for a few hours. My truck was 8 mos old at the time.

    Good!
    My leaf springs are a little rusty so I think I'll replace them with that kit.
    Thanks for the info!

    Lift all installed.
    I ordered my kit here, http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/sus_Tundra.html

    Kit included.
    1 - OME 2614 Front Coil Springs (Pair)
    2 - 90018 Front Nitrocharger Sport Shock Absorbers
    2 - OME Dakar CS055R Rear Leaf Springs
    2 - 60100 Rear Nitrocharger Sport Shock Absorbers
    4 - OMEU53B U-Bolts
    1 - FK32 Fitting Kit (Brake Line & ABS Wire Relocation Kit)
    1 - OME GS22 Rear Greasable Shackle Kit
    2 - OMESB106 - Rear Bushing Kit

    In summary, the front is a little higher and stiffer than I wanted... It damn near rides like my old F350 now. I liked the smooth ride I had before, whatever I guess........
    There's also a weird clicking/clunk/creeking noise coming from the front drivers side when I turn, it's intermittent, but seems to be getting worse.

    I'm thinking possibly upper/lower control arm bushings creeking, possibly even the bushings on the sway bar. Haven't figured it out, but it's making me insane.
    Also, the truck has some noticeable positive camber now, I took it to a alignment shop and they basically "Tow and Go'd" me. Claimed the camber was within spec, so they won't touch it.
    Need to take it somewhere else.

    Possibly thinking about buying new upper control arms if I can't get the camber situation sorted out.
    The guys from Cruiser Outfitters claimed 2.5" isnt enough lift to max out any of the alignment adjustments, but we'll see I guess.

    Tuff Country leveling kit, you might also have an DD (Differetianl Drop) kit with it. I installed the same thing with my 2020.

    It was a 3/1 leveling kit (Nitro?) so these things had been added to rear (else stock):98D581D0-FFC3-4687-B863-3758A9374124.jpg
