Lifting the 2018 Tundra - Experiences to improve the process

Hi All,

I have begun the build of my 2018 Tundra 1794 edition. I have elected the ICON 3.0 CO for the front with their adjustable UCA. Out the back is their 2.5 remote system with leaf springs, I intend to do the full 4 due to the weight being added with the decked system, rack, RTT, and bikes that attach. Truck has a gun safe bolted in the center console and a line-x liner. During the build what has been the experience with carrier bearing drop and with a lift like this front end diff changes? I am going to run 35x12.5x17 and have not decided on the tires yet for the ICON wheels. It will get plenty of highway to get places so thoughts on an AT tire? I was going to go Open Country AT2, but want a 3 peak snow tire so maybe other options, General Grabber? I appreciate any feedback and like seeing all the awesome trucks on here.

 

Wow man. Nice pile of parts there! You’re gonna love the end result

 

Welcome from NC!

 

Just did the same build 1 month ago. Love the ride from the icons. You will need to find a good Alinement shop!

 

Man that looks good. How much did you drop the carrier bearing and did you do a diff drop?

 

Haven’t done either yet but plan on both in the next week. I can feel a slight shutter taking off from a light so a carrier bearing will fix that. Otherwise she drives amazing. Who’s doing your Lift for you?

 

I Still haven’t done the rear hydraulic bump stops. Way harder then they make it seem in the instructions.

 

WOW, sweet setup!

 

I am doing the lift.

 

Welcome from Ventura California OP, cant wait to see end result, @Sabalo22 which bumper is that?

 

Nice, I did mine. Again a lot harder than it made it seem on the instructions, But I’m not the most mechanically inclined person. It took me a solid two days but totally Worth it. The bump stops were a nightmare because of all the grinding and trying to hammer out those bolts were impossible. I was lucky to have a good four-wheel-drive shop close to my house and they knew how to do the alignment on the icons. Cost me 300 bucks but it drives awesome. Didn’t have to do any cutting and absolutely no rubbing.

That’s a nice bundle of parts adding up. Subbing to see updates.

What rack is that?

 

The KB Voodoo Max Modular rack....

 

Sick, I just got the same rebounds in black, I went with nitto ridge grapplers love them. I'll be hitting Joshua Tree next weekend.
