3rd Gen Suspension Lift - MEGA THREAD

Nope no codes. The drive modes still work.

 

Here read this for a better explanation of what I did:

Nice. I would be interested in the rear sway bar they mention if they have a matching front. I prefer to not mix manufacturer brands.

 

Yes, mine is SR5 with no special package upgrade. I got the Icon Diff Drop coming in. I've talked with a few people who have fairly extended lifts and they report that their axles are doing just fine. So, this may just be precautionary. But it's a $200 piece of insurance and peace of mind.

 

Hey @Sparky916 Do you know you hub to bottom of fender measurement on the stage 6 fronts ? that would be great info

 

King has Billet rear sway bar links available. PN 21047-104. Unfortunately they are for stock ride height and per their support, most likely won’t have an offering for lifted ride height.

 

Yup. That's my truck. Got a few friends that work there so I was able to grab a set of prototypes. Good things coming from Eibach. They tested their external reservoir damper as well.

 

Interesting, I know the @TOTAL CHAOS 3rd gen tundra is running them with King shocks and all the other goodies they offer for the 3rd gen tundra.

 

Any of you have strut mounts/top hats you want to part ways with? Looking for a pair

 

Yeah I saw them on a few of their Proto trucks. I was surprised when King responded with they only have them for stock height and not a set for rear lift. Still better than stock even with a lift. Im waiting on a set of Baja kits links to arrive since they are adjustable.

 

I think you mentioned this before but what ride height/lift were they testing on your truck?

 

Dobinsons have some in the works. It will probably be June/July at the earliest until they come in though.

I don't, but I can take a measurement if I remember to do it after work lol.

@jgoliath @AND @crikeymike yall already might know this, but Baja Kits has some adjustable sway bar end links. Looks like 8-10 week lead time according to their site.

Yeah, probably the cheapest route too. If you buy the TRD axels from the lift I think its like $700. My truck is TRD OF so not worried about it. Another option is to find someone that swapped them out for the TRD lift that has a TRD OF.

 

Here’s a pic of the Dobinson’s adjustable track bar, for anyone interested. I lifted the rear 2” with Dobinson’s springs. The vehicle shifted approx. 7/8” to the driver's side. I adjusted the bar to move the vehicle back toward the passenger's side by ~3/8”. The track is now sitting evenly.

Dobinson's track bar is super heavy duty. It makes the hollow OEM bar feel flimsy. I may consider getting their other link bars.

 

Red calipers? Why not dobinson green (or teal?)?

 

Actually, I ordered black springs, but they sent me teal ones. Being impatient, I installed them anyway. They're growing on me. As for the calipers, the color is just cosmetic but I've always had a thing for red calipers. Flashy but not garish. Teal calipers would be a bit much for me!

 

This is a lot of money for what seems to be a simple design. I wonder if I can fab this from parts at the local hardware store. Also, the rear sway bar links on my Tundra have 90 degree fittings at top and bottom.

 

Damn you got it super fast, still waiting on mine to deliver on Friday .

I read you adjusted the bar, is there a “how to” you followed to get it as perfect as possible?

 

Adjust it by adding half the length that your truck shifted.

So, if after lifting your truck it shifted to the left 1", then you should adjust the track bar to be 1/2" longer than the OEM track bar. Get your measurements from eyelet center to eyelet center.

 

just got my dobinson's kit in the mail, with C59-841V 2" rear coil springs. i guess i'm going to need a panhard bar as well?

 

Those are the exact ones that I bought/installed. If you read up, you'll see what I had to do. I'd recommend the adjustable track bar for sure.

i hope they offer tundra specific links but I'm sure the universal kit will be a solution for our lifted front end.

 

Yes, 2" of lift requires a panhard rod. Or your back end will be offset to one side.

 

yeah i ordered it last night. Wish they would've mentioned this on the website when i ordered the lift. just saw it as an optional item when buying my lift and figured if it was a requirement they would've included it.

 

Yeah, they don't show the greatest details, unlike our website that shows why you would add all the parts.

 

They don't usually make them for IFS vehicles. Dobinsons have relocation brackets on some IFS vehicles to lower the mounting point down, as it's much cheaper than new links.

 

I maxed out the oem load leveling arms and i think the drivers side sticks out farther than the passenger. Definitely interested in the bar now that I'll be going higher

 

Incase anyone was curious. The ARB OME 2863 coils in the rear take about 1250 pounds in the bed of the truck to level out with the front when the fronts lifted about 3 inches.

 

dang...how does it ride when empty?

 

So you have a 3" front lift, and it takes that much weight for the rear to settle down to the same hub to fender height as the front?

Do you have 5" of lift in the rear then??
