I order the 5100 Bilstein Struts for my tundra, is there anything else I should replace while doing this? They will be here Tuesday evening along with the LED's I've ordered. I will post before and after pictures. Any opinions or comments are appreciated.

Are you lifting and putting tires on?

Steering rack bushings would be a good idea. Maybe a diff drop kit and UCA's depending on lift height.

Not really lifting, just leveling the truck.

I installed the diff drop with the 5100's at the 4th notch, still had grease seapage form the boots. Installed clamps, good to go.

My tundra is 2wd.

Then, install and enjoy. Make sure to have an accurate alignment completed after the install. Use DJ's alignment specs.

I know I know, not very useful. But I'm just a punk kid.
