Take a look at Elka suspension. Just got a set ordered up and the reviews speak for themselves.

Nice build. Any pics of the repaired cross member?

All those $$ gas cans on the side of the truck don’t actually have gas in em?!

Gas up at a quarter tank? Shouldn’t let it run down that far anyways.

Which tires? My KO2 have finally settled out after 5k miles. Shake at 60-65 initially.

That overload would have given you more lift (stating the obvious) but IMO sacrifices some ride quality. Also running the wheeler 3 pack and rear bilstein. Truck looks good.

04-06 are NOT safe. Inspect thoroughly.

Almost looks like it has a plastic floor? How do you like that steam cleaner? Nice truck.

Studded Nokian tires.

The 05/06 first gen tundra is still a 15 year old truck. It’s going to need routine maintenance including all the things mentioned in this thread. Just the cost of driving one. A lower mileage unit might prolong it but bushings wear out with age etc. Good luck with the search.

Typically you need to cut the cam bolts with a sawzall. Get the diablo blades. If you google it there is a good YouTube showing the job from 1stgenoffroad.

Re: LCA, the moog are fine. It’s not a critical component t. Plan to also install oem cam bolts as your old ones are likely seized. Havent done the rack yet but most people seem to get by with the reman racks and poly bushings. taking care of the maintenance would be priority over lift.

Kpack, did you use the same oem bolt specs on your rear shocks with your hardware store bolts? I have the same rattle you identified and swamped in new oem bolts but feel they are too small In diameter somehow. The rattle has returned for me. Cheers

Glad it worked well for you and great to see the results! I just laid down 2 cans on my rusty frame.

The 60-70mph shake appears to be common on the KO2. If you drive long distance on Highway I would think twice.
