    Hello Tundra community,

    I am a new member here, but have spent numerous occasions reading threads on 1st gen tundras from mods, suspension lifts, and other goodies. I am wondering if any of you members can personally chime in a more direct question of mine, as I can't seem to pinpoint what would be most appropriate for my 06 DC tundra.

    I do a bit of hunting in WI, so we get all the great weather from rain and mud to salt and snow. I want to install a suspension lift, but I am unsure of what to do. I dont have a huge budget by any means. I am looking for something practical for what I do during outdoor seasons. Not a whole lot of offlroading. Just your typical Northern WI trails with pot holes here and there. It is my daily too, but I dont mind that as much as I do for my "offroad" drives.

    If not a suspension lift, I believe the bilstein 5100 for front and 5150, if I remember correctly, would be a more priority installment since my stock suspension are sure to be in need of swapping.

    Welcome from NC! I installed 5100s all around and honestly the truck drives just as good as it did when I purchased new.
