    Hello Tundra community. Enjoy the conversations, this is my first thread.
    I have a 2.5 gen. Tundra TRD (2019). I just installed air bags on my truck, and now the back of the truck is 3" higher than the front of the truck, it was only 2" higher before the air bags. I want to level the truck out, but don't know if I need a 2" lift, or a 3" lift for the front end. I'm just going to put spacers on top of the struts. Has anyone else come across this?

    Skip the rough riding spacers. Maybe some Bilstein 5100's will get you where you want to be.

    What air pressure do you have in the airbags? Set them to 5psi and see how much lift you achieve. Depending on which airbags you installed, you may net an inch of lift, so that's to completely abnormal.

    As far a spacer lifts go, I would highly recommend a different solution. Inexpensive 5100's or Eibach Pro Truck Sport shocks will provide lift and a better ride than a spacer lift. Spacers can cause all sorts of issues, whereas ride height adjustable shocks are designed to work properly with the additional lift.

    Yeah, the airbags shouldn't have added so much lift unless you added too much air into them.

    Usually by adding 2" to the front and 1" to the rear, it will sit pretty level. 2" front and no lift in the rear would be dead level, but that's not ideal to leave no rake, as you'll get too much squat when you load up or tow anything.
