Adding suspension enhancement does not increase the amount of weight that a truck can carry. What it does is help keep the vehicle level when under load and take some stress off of the suspension. The load-leveling capacity of the system is rated for 3,200 to 5,000 pounds meaning that at those weights it can work to keep the truck level. You will need to consult your 2006 Toyota Tundra owners manual to determine how much weight you can carry in the bed and do not exceed it.
