throwing on a set of bilsteins, steering rack bushings, front sway bushings, and a rear hellwig bar should firm it up for ya. if that don't do it, a set of 24's with low profile tires definately will 
Comparison of Double Cab TRD or w/o TRD vs Access Cab with TRD
Hi all,
This is my first post although I have been lurking for a while - there's great support info here!
Here's my question for the Tundra experts: I am looking at replacing my existing 01 TRD Access Cab with a recent model double cab. I thought I was looking for a Limited Double cab, but after driving one I was shocked at how poorly it drove compared to my 01. When I say poor, my wifes quote sums it up: " it drives like our old RV" (class C). We are used to firmer riding responsive cars, and the our current Tundra fits in well. This 06 DC we drove was slow (seemed to be noticably slower than ours) and while the ride quality was better, the handling response was poor by comparison. The brakes were lousy too! And my 01 has 175k miles on it - and it drives far better (tighter). Is this normal? Do the TRD packaged double cabs respond more like the access cabs (from a handling perspective)? Is the acceleration noticably slower?
I really like the creature comforts on the limited models, but TRD equipped limiteds appear to be rare. All comments are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.:ts:
