    2007 5.7 tundra 4x4 regular cab 6 inch lift
    Hello everyone, I'm from AZ trying to have some fun off road adventures. I had a few already with my 2010 2wd trd off road tacoma. But now, I have a 2007 tundra 5.7 4x4 regular cab. When I bought the truck, it already had a 6 inch pro comp kit. This truck was 15k with 83k miles one it ! Very hard to find here in Arizona. So I'm not going to sell it because I can't go get another lol. I been doing some research to get the crossmember back to operation without the drop bucket. I'll post the things I'm doing to achieve this. Some tips and advice would appreciate it. Even if it's to not do it the swap ha.

    It's just metal, weld it back up. I dunno why people make such a big deal about it. Cut the ends off flat, weld caps on them. Then weld a tube in between.

    Wanna trade? I'm wanting to put a 6" lift on my regular cab, you can have my stock one lol. :rofl:

    Any pictures?

    2007 5.7 tundra 4x4 regular cab 6 inch lift

    I still ask because it is nerve racking hah but I did retrieve the crossmember from the junkyard. The truck was striped, didn't get to take the knuckles or shocks. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I could just keep my shocks but definitely i won't mean trading.

    i have stock steering knuckles if you neeed them.

    If you have spacers on top your current front shocks, you could remove the spacers and reuse the shocks and coils

    What sucks, the suspension kit doesn't use spacers. How much for the knuckles ?
