4" lift suggestions

I'm looking at lifting my 2020 Tundra TRD Pro and have been looking at a Ready lift kit to get it down so i can retain my OEM Fox Shocks. Anyone have any suggestions on something else? I'm gonna upgrade rims and tires at the same time so any suggestions on tire size would be great! Not looking to mod anything to fit the tires but I'm sure people on this feed have ideas to help.

 

Not needed. Chop the body mount and you’ll easily fit whatever tire you were thinking about running

 

As Jeff said, do the body mount and you should be able to fit whatever you’re looking for along with the right offs at wheel.If you insist on getting a lift out of it, coachbuilder makes a kit specifically for the pro, retaining your OEM shocks.

 

Coach Builder TRD PRO kit or Readylift TRD PRO +2 kit which makes it 4"

 

I think coach builder gonna be the route for me so i can fit 35s on it. I really like the aggressive look with larger tires. I don't really like the small feet look on my pro. lol

 

You should be able to fit those 35s without a lift and just retaining the pro suspension

 

with the TRD Pro coach builder yes. Hopefully i wont have to do too much mods to prevent rubbing.....

 

There was a member or two around here that fit 35s with no lift on an SR5 suspension. Obviously he had to do a little trimming, but the 35s did fit.

 

did he have a lift? Reading coachbuilders i should be good to go with 35s. I'm positive that without a lift or coach builder there will be rubbing.

 

Nope zero lift no pro suspension or anything. I’m sure he had to remove the mudflaps front and aft of the tire as well as a body mount chop. Which really isn’t that extreme to do. It’s literally taking a cut out of the body mount and having a welder weld a plate back in and a little spray paint. For the pro suspension, it should be even easier.

You could just add a couple of shims from coach builder or his pro suspension coach builder kit which I think gives you an additional 2 inches, on top of your factory 2 inches.

More lift really isn’t going to give you much more clearance for 35s. Up travel is not where the 35s will rub, it will be when turning. You would need a humongous lift to get the tires away from ever rubbing the circumference of the wheel well. They tend to rub Front and aft mudflap as well as the body mount. The offset wheels actually make it worse but become a necessity to get the fat tire away from the upper control arm. Too much wheel offset runs the risk of extreme rubbing because now the turning of the tire is a larger fulcrum.

 

That's the kind of info i need because i'm completely new to the truck lift area. I've always owned cars and never lifted them. So being the first time I've owned a truck diving into the lift arena is very rocky lol. My hope is to find a local install center that will help me get the look I'm shooting for and complete the job that doesn't murder my wallet. That's why when i saw the price of coachbuilder option i was happy. Just hope i can find a good installer that wont take my dumbness in this area for granted and try to get more $$ outta me.

 

Why not keep your PRO wheels and run a 1.25" spacer?

 

Just so you don’t get screwed. Don’t let anybody take those shocks off your truck and replace them with something else unless it’s superior to what you have. Replacing your current lift with a 4 inch bracket lift that comes with shocks, would be a bad move.
Your pro is already lifted 2 inches in the front factory over a standard trim. Your current suspension retails at around three grand. Overpriced, yes but still very desirable to some folks. It’s also the main reason the pro is priced so high along with the bed stamp and the seats with their pro logos.
If you don’t plan on doing the work yourself, I would suggest getting a few quotes and coming back to hit up a few folks here if the price seems reasonable for installation.

 

What would be a decent price for install of the TRD coachbuilder lift and checking to make sure the new rims and tires don't rub anywhere? I wasn't planning on getting rid of my current shocks because i knew that I'm already provided a 2" lift me adding another 2" would be perfect in my mind to equal 4".

 

i don't like the look of the 18" wheels. looks like a big truck with little feet lol idk if I'm the only one that thinks this or not lol.

 

Hard to say. I did mine myself and just paid for an alignment. Prices can be affected geographically. Basically depending on where you’re located the price can be driven up. I would be happy with $500 installed and aligned.I forget but I think the coach builder kit also comes with steering end links? That might cost extra to have installed.

 

That 4 inch kit is terrible.

The gen 3 tundra is really maxed out with 3 inches of jacked up lift. Going to 4 total will be hell on your ride, hell on the cv’s.

You will have no problem clearing 35s with the coachbuilder shim and a body mount cut.

The coachbuilder shims are extremely easy to install. 1 hour max labor time

 

For off-road 18s are a better choice because you get more tire instead of less tire and more rim. Most people stick with 18s and if they are buying a new rim, serious off roaders will actually step down to a 17 inch rim. Tires will also be a little cheaper. Once you put the 35s on the 18s it will look much better. Typically 20s are just for looks but not necessarily off-road inspired. Less rim and more tire tends to give a better ride off-road especially when aired down. Also less likely to mess up a rim. But if you just like the looks, by all means you do you!

 

Ok it finally clicked in my head! Sorry guys. 18"Wheels (rims) but 35 tire size! Yes I'm good to go with the same OEM TRD rims but want larger tires.

 

I have the coachbuilder pro kit on mine with 1.25” bora spacers. Had to remove the front flap and heat gun it a little. Replaced the rear flaps with Rokblokz flaps which are more flat. Running 35” Toyo’s.

the 4” trd pro ready lift bracket lift uses your OEM fox shocks in front and back. I think the coachbuilder kit is all you need.

 

Yes this is why I was asking....I would say the majority of people that come to this site don't like the look of the "Tundra who skipped leg days" aka small tires plus you could save some serious coin by just getting wheel spacers over new wheels...look at some guys that went with 285s in lieu of 295 also, you will be surprised at how much better it looks without having to really do any other mods for fitment

 

So excuse my ignorance seems like your saying just get spacers? or do you mean spacers with the coachbuilder?

 

The coachbuilder is a spacer that gives you 1/2 inch of more lift or so. Any more is too much

 

I was stating in lieu of new wheels, use your stock TRD PRO wheels with wheel spacers (you will need them due to the offset on the stock wheels will cause a larger/WIDER tire to rub your UCA) if you went with 285s instead of 295s you could get away without the full coachbuilder kit

 

Hey everyone, sorry I'm late. I just did a 4" rough country lift on my truck about 3 months ago. I'm running 35x12.50x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 20x10 w/ -24mm offset Fuel Coupler 375's. I am a non-pro version truck, The motto currently is "they don't rub, tires aint big enough" because I rub horribly. cab mount chop is needed and plastic trim in the front bumper and also had to trim some of the metal off the bottom of the front bumper.

Or if you really want to go 35s and stay totally stock on suspension get a new front bumper like C4 Fab or NFAB and just get a CMC done and you will be set and your truck will break necks everywhere you go (more than it does now )

 

I'm good with my current front end but i do hate the fact they didn't color match the entire front bumper. Why they decided to not is beyond me lol

 

Appreciate everyone feedback on it! I'm about to click the order button on the coachbuilder site! now just gotta decide on tire size and brand. (and cross my fingers for little to no rub action lol)

 

But really just get the coachbuilder kit and add the Bora 1.25" wheel spacers to your order and you should be set...just go with the recommended 295 70 18s.....I would at least if I was you install the bumper shim kit yourself to save some labor cost....the only thing that will take time is pressing out the old bushings and installing the new ones in your leafs for the shackle

 

COOPER Pros 295 70R18.....
