Havasuhunter Report post Posted August 31, 2015 Look at Truxx. Their out of Tucson and make leveling kits. Not sure what your looking to do but a 1.5" or 2" will let you bump up a tire size and not drag your bumper goin thru washed out roads. Any higher than than is just for looks. Depends on what your intentions are?I used the Truxx blocks to level mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ringer Report post Posted August 31, 2015 No elk tag for the last 6 years so not much off road other than washboards and a few turkey hunts. I am thinking maybe a levelling lift for the new one. I had 93000 when the steering box needed the work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you want to waste money, ruin your truck and look stup--. waste of money yes. ruin your truck and look stupid, no. I agree with trphyhuntr on this one. I've found that the OEM TRD shocks on my Toyota trucks are solid but the after market coil overs and upgraded shocks (front and rear) are superior for continued off-road use and not failing on a long dirt road with plenty of wash boards is key to any travel. If I can increase the front clearance by 2-3" AND improve the off-road handling, I see it as a win-win. I am also only talking about suspension upgrades NOT leveling kits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trufletch Report post Posted August 31, 2015 Unknown on the Toyota lift products, but I would definitely shop around for a shop other than Desert Rat for an install. They did a 4" lift on my 1998 Chevy 2500, took them 3 times as long as they said it would, had bolts that were not torqued to spec, cross threaded 2 of the 4 wheel lugs and had to fight with them to make it right. granted this was 12 years ago and maybe their folks are better now, but I still won't go to them for anything.

208muley Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Just to keep from getting into a pissing match with some on this site my advice is to go to tundratalk.com and check out what some of the guys over there say. There are some real know-it-alls over there that will really help you to make the right choice and they are easy to talk to. Hunting sites are for BSing and truck sites are for trucks. The lift I have on my truck is pretty good, no issues at all, and it leaves the highway more than most. The advice I got there was solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rthrbhntng Report post Posted September 1, 2015 Suspension Connection - http://www.suspensionconnection.com/search_by_vehicle/toyota/tundra/2014?category=Suspension+Lift+Kits Good Company. Make sure to get Bilstien 5100 series shocks for the best ride. Do not go with the spacer unless you are a Boulevard Queen. Do not oversize the tires too much. Many issue arise if you go too tall and big on the tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattMan Report post Posted September 1, 2015 http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop/409-2007-up-tundra Buy once, cry once... the stage 1 or 2 is all you really need to never look back. The Icons are rebuild-able if they ever leak, and they've got the valving nailed for most trucks. If you can't afford it, leave it stock until you can. Bilstein is largely junk for an IFS truck if you actually drive your truck in the dirt much, I went through more of those than I'd like to admit before I learned... they heat quickly, don't dissipate that heat well, and the heated oil quickly ruins the seals, leaving you with a non-repairable and non-functioning shock. They're better than a spacer lift, but not by much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My leveling kit was just to buy me time and let me put ATs on the truck before fall. I will eventually go with some sort of adjustable coilovers like on my Tacoma.So many options, it can get confusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
