    Hello,

    I am a new Tundra owner. I purchased a 2024 Capstone with a dealer installed leveling kit (1.75" spacer with factory shocks).

    It was rough as he'll. Highway speeds not horrible, but slow in town speeds over abrupt bumps was all deflection no absorption.

    Called the dealer and all they could find were Rough Country adjustable, 0-2".

    Still not overly happy with the lack of slow speed absorption.

    Any help, thought, ideas and comments would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    That's just what spacer lifts do. Have it removed if you want ride quality back.

    My spacers are fine. Do you have the rear air suspension?? That has been an issue for a few people & there is a TSB or something to fix it or reset it.

    Welcome. IMO stock ride is best. You will get it figured out - give it time.

    Question. Does it have the self levelling air option in it? Not sure if its an option on a 2024

    My truck is stock except went with a larger 20" tire on factory wheel. Rides like a cloud

    Go back to stock or put some Bilstein/King coil-overs on if you're Gucci. Stock rides really well for daily driving.

    You sure on that size? Capstones come with 22's stock and 265/50R22 tires.
    If so, the low profile is not doing your ride quality any favors.

    Haven't used the monotube adjustable RCs, but I have the N3 RC struts that are just set at 2" and the ride quality is good. I don't really notice a difference from the Bilsteins that were on before.

    I second what Krusty said.
    If you have also ditched the OEM 22's and went with 20's + @ 65 you now have better absorption on the shity roads.
    Did your truck come with load leveling and AVS?

    BTW welcome from MA.
