May want to upgrade the tires though...I only got 23K miles out of the stockers.
Just had new Nitto Terra Grapplers in 265/70 load range E installed. Rides even better than stock!
'05 Tundra DC Limited 4X4, Nitto 265/70's.
'94 4Runner on Mogs, locked up, Hummer double beadlocks, 40"MTR's, Marlin Ultimate, CTIS, yada, yada...

yup, i'm definately gonna get some new tires. i just broke 20k on my Tundra so i'm just waiting till they're worn out. the "Prodigy" brake controller i do have and the weight dist. hitch is on the way. i didn't start towing my rig untill Dec of last year so i'm still trying to get my Tundra set up to do the job. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I haul a camper and boat. I've found the Firestone sport air bags to work pretty good. Can handle 100psi of air. The place that's the biggest concern is your brakes. Performance Friction make a Carbon Metallic pad that eliminates brake fade and the all too often warped rotor problem. I now have 85,000 miles on these brakes, have almost 40% left, no rotor warp and very little brake dust. I also installed a sway bar on the rear axle housing for better stability. K&N, headers and Borla exhaust for better performance and stay with regular grade fuel.

I don't see how pads could eliminate warped rotors.
And high performance pads can help reduce pad fade, but not fluid fade (boiling). Carbon metallic pads also generally have worse cold performance (lower friction when cold), but some people are willing to take the tradeoff. Other pads like Hawk HPS and Raybestos Brutestop work well both hot and cold, but they are also dusty.
The swaybar and air bags are good ideas though.
