    Hi everyone. I’ve been reading a lot of stuff on here for the past few weeks. Just purchased a 2017 Tundra. My first Toyota ever. And love this truck. Did a few things to it already in a short time. Looking to do a 5100 bilstein 2.5 inch front lift and 1 inch rear block. Been going nutty on figuring this out. What you think? Also I have Nitto g2 275 60 20s on there.

    Skip the rear block and do a shackle instead. Otherwise good plans.

    Thanks. So 1 inch shackle. Toytec I’m thinking is the way to go?
