    is there an option to get the QR code a la carte? Say for example if someone already had a cutout sans QR code? Not for me but like maybe if a friend was interested because I totally don't have a randy cutout :anonymous:

    Well, buying a certified truck already paid off. Noticed this after having the Tundie parked in the driveway for 4-5 days without driving it.

    Turns out the shock was leaking badly. Took it to the dealership Monday while on lunch and had a new shock installed and the truck back Tuesday morning, no questions asked!

    This reminds me of some of the reviews I read when shopping for a pistol brace....many of them mentioned how great they were prior to being lost in a similar accident...:rofl:

    Randall...if you haven't already, I highly recommend some leds for the "not a build" Tundra! Makes a huge difference! Added a cheap set of Amazon to mine and dug out my tow mirrors for a test fit.

    They really do! I have the meso ones inside, it’s incredible. Almost a necessity since the cab is so large.

    If you find your key fob range is reduced, the cargo lights are to blame as they can cause interference. I have mine set to off and just turn them on as needed. It’s when they turn on as a courtesy light that they supposedly interfere.

    Hey @EatSleepTacos you're not running any King Air Bumps right? Currently getting everything together for long travel front end setup (most likely JD fab +2.25 kit) to go with Archive HH, Shock relocation kit, and their cross tube in the rear to stuff 2.5x14 kings. Potentially 37s in the future with a Tundy steering rack. To me they seem like overkill (unless if it's a true pre-runner build) and my superbumps in the front and rear with a U bolt flip kit should be fine. Thoughts?

    Second question, did you get a custom tune from AccuTune on your kings, or get one of their 3 options?

    Edit: Also debating Icon RXT vs Deaver U402 vs waiting for Archive's HD leaf springs. Currently running ~800lbs in the rear, but I know I'll start shedding weight here off the truck in a year or two once I get a garage.

    Correct no air bumps. Super bumps front and archive option 3 yellow bumps rear.

    As far as LT kit goes, have you seen the minor issues I had with my brakes making contact with the LCA and losing braking power? If properly addressed it can be avoided but if you’re planning on installing only the LT and not doing anything with steering, the steering rack deflects enough for it to be an issue. Plus you need the 934 CV axles to fully take advantage of the JD kit.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great kit. I would just say it’s not the best pick for the average consumer and requires some tinkering to really get it dialed in.

    For the rear, I do love my icons but they are on the softer side and not meant for a whole lot of weight. Can’t go wrong with tried and true deavers either.

    Hopefully that answered most of your questions.

    Look at Dobinsons leaf packs they have quite a range of weight and competitively priced.

    Talk to Alcan. They will custom make a spring pack for your truck. For the same or less than a generic set.

    Awesome! That's some good information. And yes, I've briefly noticed some minor fitment issues with every truck being slightly different for the JD kit, not yours specifically, but I'll gander through this thread. Regardless, I have some time to tinker around with everything. Was planning for 934 CV axles as well... focus right now is to get the rear dialed in before I commit to anything major in the front. As of now, I'd like to get full travel range out of my 35s before I even commit to LT in the front/37s. I've managed to stop the up-travel of the wheels into the inner fenders so far. Only slight rubbing on the firewall right now, but it will be tubbed here shortly.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I'll take a look into both to see what the best option going forward is.
