Lift/Wheel Help

Hi all,

New Tundra owner - I have previously owned 4 Tacoma's and 1 four-runner.

I'm torn between a 4 inch or 6 inch lift - the shop is really pushing me to get a 6 inch lift saying I will regret settling for 4 inch.

I live in the Rocky Mountains - tow a small travel trailer and often on back trails to find camp spots- nothing crazy though.

Also - if I go with a 6 inch lift - will 35's on 18's look good? I'm not a fan of 20's.

Thanks for the help/input!

 

The pro comp 6 inch k5069bps - I'm leaning towards the 6 inch not being as functional for my daily driver and what I use it for - the shop is just really pushing me on it - it's the same price basically.

 

I voiced concern about that - he assured me there wouldn't be cutting - but also stated that with this lift they would cover anything on warrenty that toyota wouldn't due to the lift causing the issues.

 

Hi Robyn.......Just depends what look you're after. I prefer as low as possible with tires that fill the wheel wells. I think if your going with 35's, I would do 4" max and probably more like a 3". Again, just depends on the look you're after. Keep in mind if going much larger on the tires, a re-gear of the diffs is next in line. There are some good looking 4-6" lift trucks out there, but here is a pic of mine with just a 2-1/4" lift up front and 37's on OEM 18" wheels.

 

Good looking truck! I like the wheel wells to be filled in and not have a ton of space. I'm looking at 35x12.5x18 tires - not sure I want to go much bigger then that.

 

Good ole altitude - that's why I upgraded to the Tundra - my Tacoma was struggling pulling my trailer up in the mountains.

I do work in Denver as well - The parking garage height is 7 feet 6 inches.

 

Thanks for the compliment. You may want to look at the Toytec store and go with maybe a 3" lift. I think in the end you will be happier with everyday use and functionality of your truck. Keep us posted which route you choose.

 

6" Rough Country lift 35s 20s... bought truck used with 26000 miles came into lifted scene blind not knowing what i got RC has rear crossmember cut spacers up front n blocks in rear spacer lift is a rough ride also i don't like my CV axle angles flexed out and turning radius decreases so do some good research before making decision IMO I'd go no more than 4" good luck and Welcome from Texas!!!

 

Do you have a good side pic of your set-up?

Also, who locally installs toytec?

 

I noticed the Yamaha in your bed first. You're not gonna enjoy unloading it with a 6" lift. Go with the 4".

 

Thanks for the feed back!

 

Great looking truck - I just emailed RSG!

 

Ha! Luckily I usually ride it up...or park in a ditch!

 

NP

 

I'm in the high rockies. Where are you? If you wanna see a 3 inch lift you can check mine before you pull any triggers on something higher

 

RSG did my Toytec BOSS

 

Do you have any pictures of your truck?

I know I just signed up today --- but I saw in another thread about your pick-up lines! Haha

How do you like the toytec boss? I had toytec on my Tacoma and didn't have any issues. I was looking at the 4 or 6 pro comp - the toytec is quite a bit better price!

 

You do not need 6. Keep it simple. Keep it practical. 35x12.5x18 will fit just fine on a 3". You will need a body mount chop which RSG can do for you.

 

Thank you! I think I've made up my mind - Four Wheel Parts was just pushing me a different direction!

 

My pickup lines are weak and are only meant for people with no brains....and even then they don't work it's quite alright to laugh at me....I'm used to these jackasses doing it daily. By the way..it's all just in good fun

These pics are after doing some hefty 4 wheeling on a toytec BOSS 2.0 setup..3 in front, 1inch block and an add a leaf in back with TOYO C/T 35s. It rides a little lower due to the weight of all my gear

 

Oh I know - all in good fun!

Which sliders do you have?

 

I didnt do a cab mount chop and I'm on 35 x 12.5 x 18s. I rub a little but not enough to cry. RSG installed mine and bumper chopped, then I carved a little more
I'm thinking of doing a CMC myself. They charge $250

 

About how much did they charge for labor on the lift? Just trying to figure out a price range.

 

P&P engineering. I would have gone full frame wrap under if I would have thought about it. At that time I wasnt planning on going as hard off road as I am....bt they've served their purpose. SDHQ and Demello does a nice slider that will give full frame wrap

 

I don't do a ton of hard off reading - mostly just getting into camp sites. Also, I like sliders for door ding protection - I work downtown in Denver and the parking is horrible!

 

I would have to look, but I did wheels, tires, lift, and some other odds and ends at the same time. Just call and ask. They also have been aligning me for free each time I go there
