    I have a 2020 1794 with TRD OR package, with the wheels and suspension. I would like to level the front end without compromising ride, or really swapping out a ton of stock components.

    I don’t tow anything and at most I would tow a side by side. I haul stuff from Home Depot or to the dump but nothing crazy. I do take the truck off road but not rock crawling nor do I plan on that. I don’t plan on swapping bumpers front or rear. At some point I may consider an overlanding rack and tent, maybe some sliders but not in the immediate future.

    So, based on my reading here and elsewhere and searching through the forums I don’t want a spacer or leveling kit. I am leaning more towards an actual suspension lift. I am not all that interested in running larger tires at any point, and would like that front end bump and would rather not need any aftermarket control arms, do any body chops etc.

    I have read good things about various suspension manufacturers and am torn between various options. One of the pricier options would be the TRD Pro Fox suspension. I like the idea of it because it’s tuned for the Tundra. I have heard good things about the bilstein 5100 I believe, as well as Kings, OME, and other Fox suspension kits. I’m not limited by cost but cost is a factor. Like I said, I would like to keep a nice ride while also maintaining off road capabilities for FS and BLM roads and lighter duty trails in Places like Moab. Not rock crawling.

    Looking for some input and advise from those who have run some of these setups or another I haven’t mentioned. I know suspension threads are a dime a dozen, and each have nuances as to what the OP is looking for. I want to maintain some OR capabilities while maintaining nice on road driving without modifying much else other than the suspension. Thanks for the recs!


    Edit: not specifically looking to lift the truck, just quality leveling.

    Check out Icon. Running the coilovers & rear shocks. My son said it rides better than his stock tundra. I use mine on ranch roads, washboard gravel roads etc.

    I see a lot of people recommending the BDS Tundra kit with Fox remote reservoir shocks.

    From what you are describing as your needs/wants...I would recommend going with Bilstein 5100 or 6112. They both have adjustable spring perch clip to get a height up to around 2.5" front. There is tons of info and pics on both so you can read up and determine which is best for you.
