    Looking to buy and lift a 2018, dealer says the warranty may be dropped if I lift it 2.5" due to it messing with the sensors for the TSS. Had anyone had any problems after lifting their 2018 and these sensors being out of whack on a small lift? Thanks

    No problems at all here, functions just like it did before the lift.

    There's traction control issues though. When cornering it kicks in sometimes. Had this happen on my 2010, a buddies 2011 and my 2014. Hesitent to lift my 2018 because of it

    Your dealer is dumb. I have an 18 with a different grill and a 3” lift. I have no issues.

    At the risk of thread jacking, how do you like the HD rear springs without a lot of weight in the back? I’d like them for pulling a trailer, but that won’t be all of the time.

    Swap out the OEM grill for a pro grill and it’s probably a wash, since the pro grill sensor sits 2-3” lower than the Sport/OR.

    I love them. Really haven't noticed a difference with them. But really love them when pulling my 19' boat. It only sags about 1/2".

    Dealer is just protecting themselves. It has to function differently due to the height of the camera and radar sensor, therefore any idiotic complaints about the system malfunctioning have to be ignored.

    Agressive cornering on logging roads or wet hairpins. Pretty scary

    This is also so funny cause my Toyota dealer is selling some tacomas and installing on tacomas the 3" level kits.

    yea it's just because YOUR dealer isn't doing their own lifts. I bought my 18 lifted 6" from the stealership. My TSS and tire pressure sensors etc were all recalibrated/ set to adjust for the lift. The speedo not so much as it is off by 3mph which sadly is within government acceptable range so I can't bitch about it to them.

    Where did you get yours from? I lifted my 18 off road a few weeks ago and no dealership in Jacksonville will re calibrate it
