    So true! I didn’t realize how bad it really was until I switched out to these. The brights are so much brighter too!

    Smooth as can be. I have a few rail tracks by my house that are bad and I used to rumble hard over them, now, its smooth running. You notice right away that there is no tire hop. Your truck won't sag as you increased load capacity with HD by 25-40% depending on how much tension you put on them. Truck sways much less in curves. No stiffness when driving empty. If you go for them go HD. You can set them at 25% with the provided white gauge disc and still have the option to increase tension for heavier loads. When I inquired with Roadmaster they advised to get the HD for the Tundra.

    It’s been a minute since I’ve posted, but I put my bed lined covers on and I love them. The back is chrome less. No chrome showing at all. Still waiting for the front covers, hood bulge and surround.

    What are your plans for the take-off steps? Used DC steps are hard to find locally.

    This thread moves so fast that someone has probably provided this information already. I'm not sure it's necessary to follow these factory instructions to the letter to get a good adjustment (at least this was the case for me), but they should provide the basics for what is needed. I found a good level spot, a clean wall, and used a tape measure and painters tape to set everything.
    Best.

    Yeah, I wasn’t a fan at first. Ideally I would want black, but I’ve been getting used to them.
    I’ll give them a few months and see how I feel. I have a feeling if I keep them that long I may just stick with them. Unless I find a great local deal on some black ones that I can’t pass up on or someone who’s selling their truck and is willing for a swap

    I second @okcowboy comments and like these wheels. I almost bought a set some years ago for my 1794 based on how nice this truck looked:

    I suppose the absolute correct way to aim is to the letter of Toyota's instructions, but you are correct it is A LOT of detail work which I doubt even the dealerships follow. I used tape measure to set the truck/headlights the right distance from the wall and placed the painters tape on the wall at the right height based on the center height of the headlights. For me, a level mark/tape was needed to see/set a good cut-off point on the wall for the low beams (High beams really can't be adjusted and just follow the low beam position). These LEDs project a nice clean edge that's pretty easy to see. Since my truck is lifted about 2.5" the tricky part was getting the level dial set right for "zero" at no load condition. This provides maximum resolution of the level adjustment dial when loaded or towing. Again, I'm a bit anal about this stuff but not to the point of following the Service Manual Instructions to the letter. The Rigid fog aiming was even harder to do as the plastic buckets that hold them have to be better secured first (bad design by Toyota!).

    It looks so good, but I hate that you have to take the entire dash apart just to get to the center like that. How long did it take you to take it apart?
