    07 Tundra DC. BDS 4.5 inch lift. Icon alloy Rebound 17" rims. 315/70 R17 Sony AX7000.
    I have a 2007 Double Cab that I bought back in 2012. It has pretty much been stock, other than a rear sway bar, snug top, and roof racks. I was debating getting a new truck, but decided to just invest some money into my reliable Tundra and finally make it into what I have been wanting. (Previous to this I had a 99 Tacoma which was lifted and awesome but it was stolen back in `12)

    Anyway I just ordered the BDS 4.5 inch lift, some Icon rebound 17s (+25) and some BFG 315/70r17 from custom offsets. I spent a lot of time researching what I wanted but I am still anxious about having dropped so much money and potential issues. Its a lot of money to put into an older truck but still WAY cheaper than getting something new.

    My truck does have the yellow Bilstein struts up front. I am a little unsure if they will work with the BDS system. It sounds like they are compatible but there was no option for anything when I ordered from the package from Custom Offsets. I should probably call the sales /tech line but I know they are closed right now. Will it work off the shelf?

    Also I am guessing I will have to get rid of my Hellwig sway bar? No biggie I got it from a buddy for a work trade deal.

    Anything else I should be thinking of? I have a local installer who has some familiarity with installing BDS lifts so hopefully it all goes smooth. I live in a tiny town up by the CA/OR border and there are really not a lot of options up here.

    The other thing I did was put in a Sony AX7000 stereo (last weekend). Anyway I am just super excited to finally put some love into this truck. I hope I dont regret this decision... my truck is only a 4.7 but that engine is solid and I only have 115k. Other than some surface rust on the frame I think it is in good shape. I might also eventually want to put on some white knuckle rock sliders and re-upholster the interior.

    Excited to eventually post some before / after pictures and hoping this whole upgrade goes smooth. It is my daily driver so I do want to minimize the time in the shop if possible.

    Ok thats it just excited like I said. Cheers everyone.
