2024 Factory installed TRD Lift

They are plugged into the back of the blanks where the fog lights go.

 

Anyone know the amount of labor time for a dealer install? Cost? Thanks

 

Modern Toyota Winston Salem, NC quoted $1589 which was $1500 install labor and $89 for alignment after (quoted in October 2023). Based on that I would say 8-10hrs maybe??

But I found my truck with it from the factory in TN

 

Wow, so 12 to 15 hrs depending on rate? I was thinking 8hrs. I was off a bit. Lol

 

You may have said, and I may have missed it, but how tall are your spacers? I did 1.5in based on another thread (apparently not TRD lift based) and they are definitely too short...

 

Yep they are blanks from factory and in step 15 I believe someone posted some where here for dealers to remove fog lights and install the blanks. Wires were there on my 2024 I ordered diode dynamics plug in play kit, works great.


this is pick I took when I got the truck home and didn’t realize that the were removed by lift kit option even dealer didn’t know thought was a miss build or something lol. This was in Oct 2023 when I got my 2024 platinum with the factory installed trd 3” lift kit. Tundradude34 did a you tube video on it as it was never mentioned before the trucks started hitting lots.

 

So how do you remove the 2024 tundra fog light covers to install the fog lights on a truck with the factory 3 inch lift. It looks like the switch is already on the normal lighting assembly on the left of the steering wheel. It also looks like there is space to put a longer middle light deal as well. Is that also pre wired

 

look on youtube supposedly you can pull out from center to ends as they are behind the mustache bottom pieces. when i did mine i took entire front off to do the pro grill swap so i did it from the back side not 100% on just removing it but seen video before just couldn’t find it now.

 

question why does the sway bar get dropped down (correction NOT forward, just looked that way)??? i have noticed non of the suspension systems by aftermarket does that at most a few will have drop bracket but not as much drop. i noticed yesterday im rubbing pretty good on passenger side sway bar and i can’t think of why it needed to move so far down (like right at the peak diameter of a tire)??? 35” tires. Why couldn't you just use extended links or something and leave it in the factory location (higher at a small tire diameter point)?

For example the ICON low level lift kits don't touch it (3" kits have a drop down that looks like at most 1" not 3-4 like the TRD kit), Wescott kit doesn't mess with it, TRD Pro with a 1" or whatever front lift doesn't move it. I'm no suspension expert or anything but movement up and down should be the same just the starting point is 3" lower at most with the TRD Lift. That is the only thing I hate about the truck is that stupid looking sway bar underneath and the fact it is the primary limiter on tire size I can put on the truck I wanted to go with 37x12.50's KO3 after these 35" tires wear out (GY 325/65R18 Territory RTs). But I really want to put the sway bar back in the normal stock position (TRD PRO) position, how bad would that mess up high speed (80-85MPH driving)? I'm not worried about off road as that is dirt roads and yards, farms, etc. not a rig for me to off road, I have a X3 and FJ Cruiser for that. This is my RV Toy Hauler and long trip ride.
