Here's a nice overview of the suspension

So, after talking to the dealer I found 2 things: 1. You can't change the 20" wheels of the Tundra Limited + TRD Package 2. Inventory of Tundra Limited with TRD packange + iMax Engine is limited 3. If I put 3k more I can get a TRD PRO and that solves the lift, the suspension and the wheels...

One would do this by measuring from the top (or center) of the tire/wheel to the edge of the fender?

If I don't do the TRD lift. I will try to get the TRD Pro size tires. But its unclear if they will do the switch for me. The stupid TRD package includes 265/60/20. If I do the TRD lift, I have a little more room, don't want to go crazy, and I've narrowed it down to 2 options. The trade off is...

This one looks good

I need to talk to my dealer.

What tires do you like for this application?

In my biking experience, using bigger tires (wider) at lower pressures, helps A LOT. Is that the case for offroad trucks?

I want to ride in the dirt roads of the high Rockies and minimize the chatter of washboards and rough sections. I want to clear rutted roads with no issues. I want to do that while carrying an alucab, 2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 bike and the usual equipment. Probably 2 weekends per month from April...

Thanks, there's a long thread about the kit.

I'm sympathetic to this view. But aftermarket ppl are not Angels. Let's assume one "wants" a lift, in order to fit bigger tires, increase clearance a bit. It's difficult to trust aftermarket merchants and discount the position of Toyota - TRD people. Quoting the pamphlet...

It seems that you are paying $4k for the TRD research, reliability, warranty. Thanks for the link. How do you reconcile that the TRD people recommends 3F -2R lift as "optimal"? Additionally, the Toyota kit seems to include a whole set of nuts and little parts and I don't see anything like...

Here's the pdf of the kit. The only mention of shocks, is the regular $129 shocks. I'm confused. Some highlights

Here's a reference article regarding Reservoir Shocks.

For reference, here's a nice video about the lift kit:

Thanks. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the load carrying capacity is fixed at max payload and any suspension upgrade is just trying to smooth the ride. As an aside: The pamphlet says: "Bilstein Tuned Front and Rear Shocks", its not clear how are these different from the shocks...

Can you please elaborate on why you think the Toyota kit is not a good option?

Vail

I'm in Colorado. Do you recommend working with them?. This is interesting. That's a big range. I would think that given a set of specifications of weight and road conditions, the optimal setup would be more or less clear. Could you expand on how you made your decision? Yeah, for Platinum and...

This is key. Will try to get confirmation from the dealer. However there are reports online talking about this issue, where transmission damage warranty was voided because their integration with suspension modifications. I will. It just feels weird in the sense that they do have an interest in...
