3rd Gen Suspension Lift - MEGA THREAD

Looks good! Did you keep the factory shocks in the back and just add the spring?

 

MT64 shocks in the back too. OME just didn't have a 1" spring option that I found.

 

@NMTIM would love to know how the ride compares to stock. I had OME on an old 4Runner and liked them. My goal is more plush (vs firm) relative to the tundras TRD OR Bilsteins

 

Definitely more plush and composed than stock. I haven’t had the truck that long but there are some crappy sections of road near my house that I gas through now instead of coast through. I still haven’t had it on wash board but I have a feeling it will be way better. I still haven’t figured out what I want to do with the front sway bar so there is a small amount more of body roll. I have the TRD skid plate so I don’t want to lose the ground clearance I just gained. Stock sway bar set up seems to be working ok.

 

Nice

 

2024 SR5 4x4 with 35" Falken AT4s, Eibach stage 2R, and JBA HD UCAs. Went with Yotamafia extended brake lines, but kept it at 2.5" in the front, so still running the black axles. I have silvers on backorder, so if these break, I've got backups.

Just had a C4 Fab Overland bumper installed as well. I'm guessing I lost about a half inch of lift from the extra weight, but it feels like it's sprung fine for it still. Handing is great, tracks straight, and the ride is greatly improved. I don't get the vibrations and jitters I used to get on the freeway.

 

Build thread or IG?

 

Has anyone had problems with tie rods after lifting? The TRD kit has the sleeves but their about $350 for 2. I plan on running 35s, very very little minor offroading. I do tow a 7K travel trailer and it makes me wonder how much stress will be on the tie rod since the front axle is already heavy.

 

Neither. Just a whole lot of trashing on the truck. Available for any questions though

 

Wheel and tire set up / specs please?

 

Icon 3.0 shocks. 3 inch front .75 rear coils. 37 inch coopers on 17 rrw rr7h wheels

 

What kind of trimming you do to clear, how much rub still happened offroad?

 

Looks good. Question for ya, is the P/N on the Dobinsons rear coils c59-835v? If so, do you know the centre hub to bottom of fender measurement?

 

Chopped frame horn. Pinned liner back, cut a little bit out of the active air dam. As far as trimming goes, about the easiest truck. Zero rubbing off road or otherwise

 

Any mods to the rear track bar?

 

Thought about the drkss but havent found a need with the minimal lift. 35 inch spare clears too.

 

Hey guys, hoping to get some advice or hear from anyone who’s dealt with something similar. I have a 24’ Platinum crewmax 4wd with 5-5ft bed.

I installed the Eibach Stage 2 lift kit on my ‘24 Platinum CrewMax 4WD (5.5ft bed). Up front, I left the coilovers at the preset height from Eibach (I’ve got the black CV axles), and in the rear, I used the Eibach 0.7” lift spring with their shocks. No spacers, stock wheels.

After the lift, I put on 35” Toyo AT3s, had them road force balanced three times, and got a proper alignment. That’s when I started noticing a pretty noticeable vibration — hard to describe exactly, but it feels like a shake/shudder from the rear, not the front. There’s nothing in the steering wheel, just in the seat and cab area.

Thinking the tires might’ve been too stiff or heavy, I downsized to P285/60R20 Toyo AT3s. Still had them road force balanced twice, and the alignment was double-checked a week later — everything checked out. But the vibration is still there.

To sum it up:

• 2024 Tundra Platinum 4WD CrewMax (5.5ft bed)
• Eibach Stage 2 lift (front left at preset, .7” spring in rear)
• Stock wheels, no spacers
• Now on P285/60R20 Toyo AT3s
• Vibration/shake coming from rear, nothing in steering
• Tires road force balanced (multiple times), alignment verified

I’m out of ideas at this point — just looking for suggestions or if anyone else has had a similar issue. Could it be a driveline angle issue from the small rear lift? Driveshaft? Something I’m overlooking?

Appreciate any help.

lol @ ChatGPT helping but I’d look into a track bar corrector kit: https://drkdss.com/collections/b-o-...-botck-bolt-on-trackbar-correction-kit-tundra
I honestly have no clue if 0.7” of lift in the rear is enough to cause this issue, so my first thought would be load the rear of the truck enough to drop it 0.7” and then see if that fixes it. If it does, maybe the rear lift changing the track bar angle is the culprit.

 

I went with the Eibach stage 2R, 2.5" front, with 1" lift in the rear. No issues at all. It's more smooth than it was brand new. Perhaps one of your shocks is faulty.

 

Event the “shorty” version of the track bar you sent says 2-3”. I have just over half an inch. Sounds like it may cause more harm than good lowering it. But idk. I know nothing about this 5 link suspension besides shocks and springs. Wonder how many lbs in the bed would lower it that much. May get a measuring tape and go buy some water softener salt till it goes down enough. Thanks for the reply

 

I feel if it was a shock it would be leaking or easy to push down or pull out. Or I’d get excessive bounce when going over a bump. When I installed them I couldn’t really move them up or down. Thanks for the reply.

 

You should be able to assess that visually, if not post a picture of your track bar. It shouldn't be too much off horizontally or your back wheels shouldn't be too much off center.

 

Good idea. I’m gonna mount a go pro under it and see if I can see a vibration

 

I have a 1" spacer lift in the rear of my '22 SR5. No vibration issues at all.
