Upgraded the Tundra

[kevine001]

This past year plus, I added a Bilstein lift (5160s in back, 6112's in front) along with a deaver leaf and Roadmaster Active Suspension in the rear. Definitely smoothed out the ride a little and added maybe 1/2 - 1" more lift? Also picked up a GFC this summer. I've used it half a dozen times so far...it's a game changer. Traded in the OEM rims for powder coated OEM rims. Picked up a used aftermarket steel bumper and added some BD fogs. I think I'm done for a while...I'm broke

I’m looking at adding the RAS and maybe sumo springs on my truck, along with new front coilovers to lift 1-1.5” all the way around and handle a heavier trailer a little easier. I’m still debating upgrading coil springs and leaf pack while I’m at it. I get a headache researching this stuff to death.

I did the Bilstein/deaver leaf first. I then took truck back due to sag, especially after getting the GFC. They recommended the RAS and it seemed to work. Still have the slightest sag in back when I'm loaded up for camping, but otherwise, looks level. Definitely smooths out ride.

Oh man, when you said upgraded I figured you bought a GMC ! Lol

Hear good things about the Bilsteins...looks good. Good call on the amber fogs also.

I like your style…1794 riding on 6112’s and 5160’s…





It’s a great combo!

Bilsteins on both of my trucks now.

Yeah, I like Bilsteins for Toyota since that's what comes OEM. Or OME, which I had on my landcruiser. Didn't want anything crazy. Love the 1794, especially the interior. Those are so plush. I have a feeling this will be my last truck. I don't drive enough such that I'd need to get a new one before I stop hunting/camping

This.

I’ve owned mine since new. My ‘16 1794 has 98.5k on the clock. So that’s 8 years…about 1k per month. I’m only using it half the year, so about 6-8k these days.

Let’s go 8k and use the tundra to 300k. So that’s (300k- 98.5)/8000: 25 more years of useful life.

Yeah. I’ll be 80 at that point.

I’m good with that.

 

[hank4elk]

LOL...98k? Not even broken in yet.

My '98 Tacoma just turned over 345k.
5100's on front and 4600's on the back.
All new underneath w/Toyota factory parts. My mech. did not want to use factory parts and save me a grand,maybe. LOL

I'm 69 so it should last.
4600's on the '01 F150 and it rides like a Lincoln. 200k.................

Toyota never should have gotten rid of that 5.7 liter engine. Gas mileage be dammed, that thing is indestructible. Sounds like they have been having quite a few issues (like other companies) with the turbo V6. I also have Bilstein 6112 (I think) on my Ram and they have been quite nice.
