    These forums have been a great help in the last week or so as I decided what I wanted to do to my truck. It's a 2010 DCSB SR5 and I love it and have worked it hard so far. Loading it with loam or firewood sucks (rear spring tsb hasn't been done), which is part of why I'm planning upgrades.

    I need tires and figured I'd upgrade the shocks at the same time to get some better handling. I started with the idea of just throwing some Bilsteins on it and have ended up at OME shocks with 884 coils and an ICON 3 leaf pack for the rear (Found DSM for the parts thanks to TW!). I had been wanting a 1.5-2" lift and hope this will meet that and improve driving and load performance. Planning a small bump to 265/75R16 and would love to get black FJ TRD wheels, but the tpms units might block that one for me.

    Few questions I'm hoping to have answered in the next couple days if anyone can help: Should I get the rear leaf tsb done before installing the ICON leaf pack? (Can I even get it done being that I bought it used) I heard the tpms units in my steels won't fit in alloys, true?

    Thanks for all the information and inspiration.

    Welcome!
    The TPMS sensors are indeed different from steel to alloy.
    Rumor has it they will fit if installed upside down against the bead step. But they are 100% more likely to be broken by hurry-up tire techs...
