A few months ago I just got my very first taco, its a used 2018 already lifted a bit. Have a few questions first Ive read about the 3rd taillight leakage issue im pretty sure mine has that (just purchased a new replacement light) but it also leaks on the other side through the passenger rear handle bar anyone know what that side could be?
Also I unfortunately already had a wheel bearing issue and had to replace both🤦‍♀️,the truck only has 59,000 miles on it, the shop guy mentioned that raised trucks have issues with them going often is this also true? mind you I do not take it offroad at least not right now
What other issues might I run into with this truck? I do have a warranty but it only covers mechanical issues
 
The taillight leak issue is a recall/tsb from Toyota and will be fixed for free at a Toyota dealer. It's likely from the same issue, but if it has a roof rack it could be leaking from where that attaches as well. The fix for that is removing the mounting bolts and filling the holes with silicone RTV.

In general, altering suspension puts more strain on the other drivetrain components, but there are a lot of factors to consider. It's not completely cut and dry, depends on lift height, alignment specs, how its driven, etc.
