    None yet, but soon..
    I have a 2018 Tundra 1794. I am trying to figure out what lift kit would be best. I am looking for a 3-6in lift (full suspension), where I can fit 35" tires under it. I am looking to do mostly trails and some overlanding. I have some research and I am trying to figure out what is best. I like the Icon setup from what I can read. Any information or help would be great and a shop in that does quality work. I am located in the Lodi area of the central valley of California, so driving to Sacramento would be fine as well. Thanks again.

    Great truck, Ive been doing more then a fair amount of research on suspension, and IMO it seems like suspension comes down two things. 1. price range and 2. what do you want to do with your truck. Others, that are much more knowledgeable about suspension on this forum will pitch in there $0.02. Im by no means an expert. I know personally I've been looking at Toytec Boss, Icon stage 3 or 4, ADS, and OME BP-51, but these are all 2-3in lifts. keep in mind you'll need UCA for a 3in lift to get a good alignment. You said overloading so I'm assuming you'll have weight in your bed, I would take a look at deaverspring U748, I believe this is the correct one for more weight, and I think icon has the expansion pack and RXT pack. Hopefully this helps...

    I know some folks will knock on Rough Country lift but I have a 6 inch lift with no spacers up front. I do run 295/65/20 tires. Some folks on here say you can run35 with a3/1 lift.
