Lifting Gen 1 vs Current Tundra

[tundra61]

I have seen 100s of posts about installing spacer lifts/leveling, but I would like to hear some feedback from someone who did the same to a Gen 1 Tundra and now a new Tundra.

I had a Gen 1 with DR coilovers and although I did like the firm ride, it definitly had a slight negative impact to the overall handling of the truck.

I loved the truck so much that I bought the new crew max, so don't get me wrong that I didn't like the way the truck drove, but after the coilovers were installed, the truck was definitly more road sensitive.

So, my ultimate question to someone who had both truck and has lifted both, is does a spacer lift on the new tundra effect overall handling, more, less or the same amount as doing the same to the old tundra?

A good friend of mine has a 05 Ex-cab 2wd with the extended DR's, Chaos upper arm and mini spring packs. I would say that they have a similar feel to them as far as handling goes. The 07 seems to have a little bit more bump steer though.
