Question:

Hi. Im looking for a solution to level my truck when towing my trailer. I have a 2023 Tundra Limited TRD Off Road 4x4 and I use it for mild off road and towing. It is lifted 3 in the front and about 2 in the rear. I want to retain as much droop/travel as much as possible for off road use but also have the ability to increase height in the rear when towing. I used a Daystar Cradle on my Tacoma before and I loved it because it allows full droop since its only attached on one side of the frame. However it looks like they don't have one for the Tundra. The only solution I see right now are the ones attached at both ends of the frame e.g. AirLift 5000. Will this work with my lifted setup? Will the bag tear if I allow full droop off roading? I also saw coil spring bag s but I don't think they are available for my Tundra. Looking for suggestions.

The # AL24JQ will fit your lifted setup on your 2023 Toyota Tundra. However, I would not count on them for off-road use. I'm afraid they would not last and rip off of the end plates. It also would not be covered under their warranty if they were damaged off-roading.

Your best option would be to go with the Timbren # T45MR. You will also need to add in spacers # TA25723-90AD00 or # TA25722-90F00. There should be a 1/2" - 1-1/2" gap in there. These will provide you with additional support and you won't have to worry about suspension travel. If you aren't towing off-road I would also consider using a weight distribution hitch to keep you level.
