My new Baby - Few questions regarding lift upgrades

Hi all,

Not new to the group since I've been following for almost a year now. I just wanted to formally intro my new ride. Been busy for the past 3mths but finally came around to taking some pic, esp for this purpose.

Question: Which brand do you prefer: BDS/Zone, ReadyLift or Toytec? I am thinking of adding a 4-5" lift but need it to fit into my garage. I have an 7ft door with about 81" clearance due to the trim and 1" raised floor. Others have indicated that they were able to fit without any issue . I even seen pic of someone with a 6-7" lift said they were able to squeeze in however was extremely tight.

Just trying to get a real feel for what everyone think is the best overall esp at the 4-5" height. Looking for best handling, ride and most important fitment. All 3 brands have good reviews. Can i get pic of those 4-5" lift parked inside the garage esp with the 7" door? thanks in advance for your help and recommendation.

Btw, i am considering selling some of the OEM parts. Shoot me a pm if you're interested. All parts have less than 500miles and 1mth
OEM Front Sway
2018 SR5 Headlight
2018 SR5 Foglight
Chrome Bulge and Surround.

 

I just saw a thread with lots of info on lifts and garage door heights... Lemme see if I can find it.

Good looking truck, btw!

 

Thank you. I too have seen few threads about it but i was just hoping to get a more real pictures and primarily focus to just these 3 brands.

 

Nice truck. Love that color

 

Gotcha. It sounds like we read the same threads. Can't really help with the lifts. Good luck!

 

Will the honeycomb insert be included with the surround?
If so, I am interested.

 

Nice rig!

BTW, anyone in TX or houston area recommend a great installer - esp from a well known reputable shop?

Hello, I'm new to the group and just bought my first tundra. I live in the woodlands area and just got a 3.5" lift installed at USA Tire and Wheel. They have a couple different locations but did great work at a reasonable price. They've also installed a couple of my buddies lifts as well but there's weren't Tundra's.

 

Welcome from Lake Houston @krazyTundra . Your ride is sharp as hell!

Down South Customs in Humble gets a lot of praise from guys I know, but I haven’t used them. Mine came with the lift and all. You might check with the Houston Tundras FB group if you’re not already on there. Those guys always respond quickly with recommendations, and several shops are part of the group.

 

How big of tires are you wanting to run? That’ll help you determine what size lift to look at. If I remember correctly, BDS is up there as far as taller lifts.

 

Thank you sir. I'll have to check them out and will need to join the houston tundra group.

 

To be honest, i dont have a clue. Probably 33's but i want to fill in the gap as much as possible after the lift.

 

I’m having a 4.5” BDS 20” rims and 35 toyo tires installed as we speak. My garage is full of flooring for my house and saws right now but I can take some measurements when all said and done.

 

From your view, do you think you can make park it inside without a problem? I believe thats the exact height and setup I am wanting to get.
4.5” BDS 20” stock rims with 33-35 Toyo/Nitto tires.

 

It’s being installed right now. I haven’t even seen it yet or taken it home to check. Once I get it back I’ll take some measurements for you. I have a basic cookie cutter house with a standard CA garage size. I’ll get back to you.

 

Nice looking truck.

 

Pics when it's done!

 

You got it!

 

If you only want 33’s, level it with Bilsteins. If you go with a 4-5” lift, I’d recommend going with 35’s or even 37’s if they can fit. I’d recommend thinking about doing a 3/1 lift on 295/70R18’s or 35’s. You don’t have to cut the front crossmember on that size, and those size of tires on that lift seem to fill out the wheel wells nicely.

 

Oh i see. Didnt realized the cross member get cut for a 4.5? Never thought about that.
