    Thinking I'll get the 5100 kit below. So far this is the best price I've seen. A video I watched last night talked about Tundra have a 0.5" lean to the drivers side. So they recommended a 0.5" spacer. Do you need or should you have longer strut tower bolts?

    Anything else they should be done with this?

    Does your truck have a lean now? They are all different. Sometimes a 1/4 inch thick spacer is plenty too

    I'd suggest you check out measurements on both sides first and confirm that you have a lean issue.

    I swapped to 5100's and my truck was 1/2" low on the drivers side. I put a 1/4" thick spacer in it and now the trucks sits perfectly level. No need for longer strut studs unless you are stacking more than 1/2" of spacers.

    I made my own spacer by hacking apart one of the spacer blocks I took out. Replaced the blocks with Eibach +2.5" springs and couldn't be happier.
