    Just bought my second Tundra. I had a 2010 and my son drives a 2006. It is a traditional SR5 and I want to put a leveler on it. I have seen lots of TRD guys put 3/1's on it I love the look, but I was thinking that TRD's come sitting a little higher from the factory already. Anybody got before and after pics of traditional SR5's with levelers and new wheel/tire setups. I don't want to run 35's because this is my daily driver. I just want to pick it up a little and change the appearance to be more aggressive looking. All advice appreciated.

    The PRO is the only model higher- 2 inches higher in front with the special PRO shocks and all.

    The TRD off road package is shocks, skid plates, etc- they do not have taller springs or ride height. They do have slightly taller tires with that package.

    So lifting your SR5 would be just like lifting any model, other than the TRD PRO. Suggest you start here- https://www.tundras.com/threads/guide-different-types-of-lifts.546/

    There are cons to using a spacer lift. They are cheap and work for many but read that thread so you can be informed and decide it you want to do a spacer vs a lifted coil over. There are pretty major difference is cost, performance, ride, reliability between them and how you will use and drive the truck will impact your choice. You really don't want to be doing a lot of off road driving with a spacer, just one example.
