    You are correct, the right way to do it is always to lower the front diff. People just don't do it because otherwise the lift would be too expensive. So parts wear out faster than normal. Since a lot of people rarely use the 4wd (That's why trucks went from solid front axles to IFS in the first place), it's usually not an issue. Your talking a bad CV joint at 100k vs 150k miles by not lowering the diff.

      Rough Country....paid around $700.00 to have it done but it is something you can do yourself. I previously did the same lift on the Titan i had. Did have to trim the skid plate a little on the Tundra after the lift was installed.

        I haven't done mine yet, but, the Bilstein's 5100 are popular for leveling.


        Search the 2 or 3 Tundra forums.

          Its a new 2018 4x4. My brother has the same but a 16 and he did the 3/2 and its worked well for him. But considering a 3/1 now seeing the others.

            I have a 2018 4X4 that has bilstein 5100's on the front set on the second setting and I changed out the rear shackles to custom coachbuilder 3" shackles. It stiffened up the rear so there isn't sag when I am loaded down and made the ride awesome with changing out the bushings to poly. I'll post a picture. I got plenty of lift both front and rear and its a very functional set up as I haul and pull frequently.

                Love that cement color, nice truck! Those TRD models come with bilsteins, did you add the 5100s?

                  They come with the billy 4600's so I upgraded the front to 5100's. It doesn't really show that it's much difference but I am running 34" tires (basically 35's) on 18" wheels and it's a heck of a difference. I am glad I have the running boards or I wouldn't be able to climb in nearly as easy lol.

                    I'm running Bilstein 5100 and Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/60/20 on my '15 Limited with stock wheels. Had to do a touch of trimming, but minimal. Added wheel spacers to give a wider stance. Better stance and look. Sits like the TRD Pro, with a little wider stance.

                      On my TRD Pro, I went with coachbuilder shims and shackles and would recommend going that route to anyone.
