What Lift Is This????

I purchased this truck used from dealership, original owner did a trade in so no info on lift was provided.... Pro comp brand.

1- from Google searches I believe it's a stage 1 but not 100% sure
2- factory struts
3- I've assumed it's 4" but not sure (currently have new 35" tires)

I would love to upgrade but have no clue what I'm working with and hope someone has something similar or at least knows what the heck it is. Thanks in advance.

 

Not 100% but it looks something like a 6-7 inch bracket lift. Also looks like they cut out the crossmember. So you will either need to source one and have it put back in if you want to get rid of this set up. Or work with what you got and upgrade those springs and coil overs. Somebody will chime in and give you better insight.

 

Icon makes a coilover for 6” bracket lifts. Part 58651. Is that rear shock messed up?

 

Looks like a 6" trailmaster. 4wheelparts should be able to tell for sure if it is

 

Thank u

 

I think it's that crappy rubber sleeve but I'll check it out. Thx

 

Oh good they didn’t cut your crossmember!

 

This is how it sits which made me think a 4" lift.

 

Mine isn't either, but it's an older kit

 

This is how my R.C . lift is also not cut but everyone is telling me to get the longer dif drop and cut the cross member idk what to do at this point. I assume cv axles in the future but I would rather throw 100 dollars a pair of them on the truck then to cut that out .

 

Looks like a 6" to me .And after seeing the spacers they used.

 

I wouldn’t want to cut it. I also don’t know what to think about a diff drop either. Ive read some negative affects about changing that angle and possible oil issues. I’d rather change a CV than the diff. But I have no real evidence other than what I’ve read.

 

Yea I just changed my driver side because we pulled on the knuckle to much trying to put the new struts in. Our fault because we didnt loosen the Axel nut at all. But the new cv Axel was only 59 dollars .With the core charge .

 

Does your truck ride stiff? Just curious because it also has a big pre load spacer as well .The one directly on the spring .

 

Longer diff drop??? Explain please

 

My R.C . lift is the first one they made then they revised it I guess where now you have to cut the cross member .Mine has a dif drop but my guess not as much as the second lift kit they came out with .

 

You n must have same kit, my RCM is not cut at both ends, I seen another Tundra with a RC kit n CV axle angles were not as tweaked as mine, I've sent pics to RC to show em, they said it's an older kit, and I do have diff drop bracket, I did order there extended struts but look cheap, so I haven't installed, @Les7311 has done this and says the ride is better

 

Yep I also have called R.C they told me I would have to buy the dif kit and new skid plat they come together they are around 350.00 for the kit. I did also change my struts but to the n3.0 lifted struts they make a huge diference .

 

@rycherd where are the rear blocks between the leaf springs and axle, get a better pic?

 

/\/\ same it looks like small spacer and maybe some shackels ?

 

Yeah they not like mine

 

Cud be a 4 1/2" kit, I spoke with RC, they have some items that cud put mine at 4 1/2", believe also RCD lifts has extended Bilstein struts n rear shocks for 4-6" kits

 

Nope thats My next move get the back to ride better maybe a leaf pack. Or small spacer and shackles

 

Stiff as hell, the bed gets the hops sometimes on the hwy

 

Yep and wondering about the front also like even cracks in the Rd. You can feel all of them too .Well hopefully you find out what kit you have. Then get some nice coilovers to help with the ride.

 

What's your tire n wheel size, see your CV axle angles

 

You must have shackles or more leaf springs, my rear blocks are way bigger

 

I'm running 35 12.5 18 on fuel krank 18x9 s
Pic of cv angles and a not so good pic of the rcm.and truck as it sits now

 

@rycherd . My lift spacers before I put lift struts on see the pre load is not as much as yours looks to be .but pics are hard to determine .
