    hello, all.
    new to the forum, had my tundra for almost a year, 2019 CM TRD 4x4.
    read alot(?) about suspension upgrade, can't decide/don't know what would suite me.

    it's daily drive, need to tow my track car once in awhile, tow a trailer(typically around 20 to 24 feet) a few times a year, almost zero off road(i live in Los Angeles).
    i want to have balanced look, plan to get bigger wheels/tires in future but don't want to cut any body parts(ok to taking out the fender liners/mud guard).

    when i searched/read on the forum for past a few days, options are that came to mind
    1)3/1 leveling kit, wondering it would be ok with towing? just one track car.
    2)bilstein 6112/5000(or 5160)
    3)toytec or bds(or other brands)lift kit

    any recommendation from expert? anything i should consider?
    i am looking to spend around 2k and will be installing at home.

    thank you for all your help.

    not an expert here so I will not give you any information for lifting or leveling but a lot of people here are very knowledgeable and very helpful :)

    thank you for the link.
    maybe i read too much. hahaha.
    i am leaning toward bilstein, i think 2-3 inch raise up front would be good enough, will probably get transmission, may get upper arm in future. leveling kit(price is great) just doesn't sound right...
