I purchased a new to me, 2014 Tundra 4WD double cab SR5 About a month and a half ago. I want to level the truck, but I am unsure if I should go with a spacer lift or use Bilstein 5100s. I don't want to sacrifice ride quality. Just hoping that someone that owns a Tundra would have some advise. I'm looking at 2.5" on the front.

I ended up buying a an F150, but did a lot of research on the Tundra's and almost bought one.......the general consensus seems to be that the Bilsteins are always going to be the better choice if you don't mind dropping the coin on them.

I have a 09 f150 and just had bilsteins 5100 installed last week. They raised the front 2 inches. So far mpg has not changed. My backend was bouncing bad on bridges. It rides better now. This is the only truck I have had "lifted" so my experience is limited.

I was paying attention to all of your post's while you were truck shopping, as I was doing the same thing at the time. I finally found a great deal on my truck, but I'm about tapped out on cash! I reckon buy once cry once, but I want to be sure.

5100s.

If a Tundra needs the same to be level as a Tacoma , you'll want them set at 1 3/4 ".

5100s. I have a 3in block in the front and 2in in the rear on my Tundra and I wish like crazy I had done the 5100s.

i have a ranchhand bumper on my tundra after hitting a deer a few years ago. It sagged the front end down pretty bad. I went with a 3in leveling block on the front and it leveled off fine. Now I have heard folks say that if they had just stock they also had to level off the rear also. I guess since the ranchhand is so heavy it compensates for the rear end on mine. Im happy with it.

I have a 2016 1794 model with spacers on the front. I can text you some pics if you want.

Put 5100's on my 09 f150 about 6 weeks ago. That's what I'd do.

I put the Pro Comp's Pro Runner SS struts on my 2014 Tundra. I personally am not a big fan of trucks raked towards the back end so I put 1" blocks/spring lift on the back.. It still rides and drives great. I love them.

This thread is useless without pics!!!

I have a 2015 4Runner 4x4. I went with a Rough Country 2" spacer. They were about 1/5th of the price of bilsteins and the ride is as smooth as ever. I'm going to do the same on my 2010 F150 but go with a 3" lift.

I have been away for a while so let me see if I can figure out the new picture-posting method.

Here's one side with a little ding from the old hunting club.



Here's another one from up front:



Maybe that will actually work. I believe they are adjustable from 1-2.75 inches. I'm running them at 2.75".

Check out Old Man Emu brand springs. I've got an 07 with an Arb bumper and 10k winch. Mine added 1" and compensated for the winch and bumper. I'm thinking they were $200 ish. Still rides really well. Had 5100s on my 05 tundra and they did well too. That price point was right in between lift blocks and 5100s so I went with it.

That's what I did and have been happy with it. Place in Pelham did it.

I have 09 Tundra. I wanted Bilstein, but could not find any at the time, all on backorder. I ended up with ProComp set on 2.5" of lift. I did not do anything to the rear of truck and everything is dead level.
