Leveling Kit Install - Eastern NC

Who knows of a place in Eastern North Carolina, close to Greenville that will install the Wescott 3/1 leveling kit on a 2023 Tundra?

 

I'm having this same kit installed on my 2022 on Monday at TEQ Customs. Good dudes. Fair prices.

 

Fayetteville here. Hit up local Toy dealer?

 

If you don't mind me asking how much are they charging you? I'm going to have 35x12.5xr20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers installed as well. A local shop doesn't want to touch the Wescott 3/1 as they've never seen or installed one. They quoted me a Rough Country 1.75" leveling kit at $650 installed. I have a TRD Sport 4x4, so would like the Wescott 3/1 to raise it up more.

 

Does that quote for $650 include suppling the kit as well? The kit sells for $99 on RC's website.

I had my RC 1.75" kit installed by a local tire shop that does alignments. They charged me $500 CDN to install and align the front. It took them 2ish hours to put the kit in and under an hour to align the wheels afterwards. They even made sure that my TRD steering wheel has the little red leather bit at the very top and centered

I plan on running this for a bit while I determine the suspension lift that I want to do. Maybe towards the end of this year, I will switch to coil overs etc...

The Westcott kit is quite a bit more involved so I can see their hesitance.

Here is my Limited with the RC kit. I don't have a rear air suspension, just the TRD offroad suspension.

 

Yes, the quote for $650 was for the kit, install, and alignment. My biggest concern is I have the TDR Sport 4x4 and know it comes from the factory lowered a little. So I want to bring it up to the ride height of your Off-Road with the leveling kit. Just don't know if I should go with the RC or Wescott because of my TRD Sport suspension.

All together with the RC leveling kit, install, alignment, mount and balance 35x12.5r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers is $2,550. Taxes included.

 

Only the Front is lowered on TRD sport btw. Rear is same height as TRD off-road. I have the Westcott front only preload collar on my TRD sport. It basically levels the front to stock rear.

 

Hey. I don't have the quote right in front of me, but I'm pretty sure it was under $650 and included alignment. I'm also getting my wheels and tires from them (35.12.50 KO2 and KMC Wheels). Just shoot them a message on their website. The owner, Hunter, is pretty responsive.

 

This place has done my last 3 trucks. Do a great job and fair pricing.

 

Do you have a pic of yours? I have a sport too and wondering if that's all I need to purchase as well in order to run 35s?

 

Pic of side when I installed my wheels, 18x9 +20 35x12.5 tires.

 

Looks great. Happy with doing just the front collar? How’s ride?

 

It sits exactly what I wanted with just the preload collar. The front is 0.25” lower than the rear when measuring center hub to fender.
The ride is good. At low speed bumps you can tell it’s firmer but on highway it felt stock. The fiancé didn’t even notice a difference on our trip to Canada after install. This is only a temporary lift for me until I get can King’s.

 

What did you have done to your Tundra?

I'm just debating on if its worth spending the $500 on the Wescott 3/1 kit or just go with the RC 1.75" leveling kit with 35". Not sure how much difference the Wescott will make.

 

The Rough County level. Kit, install, alignment total was $400. I really like this level. I know there are plenty of RC haters. Honestly, that is all I have ever had is RC level and lifts and have had 0 problems ever.

 

Do you have pictures of your Tundra? What tires did you have put on?

 

275/65/20 Toyo Open Country AT3

 

That looks really good. My TRD Sport is all black, but do like the white color match with black wheels.

The TRD 4x4 XP is the same suspension/ ride height set up as the TRD Sport 4x4 right?

 

I believe the TRD Sport is lower actually from factory.

 

So yours is considered a TRD Off-Road with the XP package and 20" black TRD wheels?

 

I'd recommend hitting up the gang over at Apex Overland in Reidsville if that is close enough?
They are fantastic to deal with! Been working with them for better part of 8 years now!

 

No mine is just an SR5 4X4 with XP package.

 

Appreciate ya man. Ya I need to figure out if I need the rear lift or not. I'm just using it as a costco runner, so just want the look with the 35s.

 

The TRD Sport is about 1" lower in the front than the other trim levels. This video will explain it a bit better and what you may need, not necessarily from Westcott:

How long have you been running the rc kit? Considering it for my trd sport. I read in another thread that after a while the ride was not the same and they had to replace the struts. Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

Almost a year. No issues with mine at this point thankfully.
