    Hello everyone,

    Brand new to the forum. I ended up here because I own a Maroon 2001 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab Long Bed. 8 words needed to describe my truck. I’m glad I found yall.

    Anyway, I am wanting to do a lift on my truck as well as maybe space the tires (bulldawg em out a lilttle.)

    I need some advice on the lift height and if I should just do a level kit only. Also would it be better to get spacers for the tires. I’m thinking maybe 33’s or 35’s.

    I usually can find info about pretty much anything but not apparently for my specific truck model. Couldn’t find anything about the regular cab long bed.

    Anyway thanks for the knowledge.

    I’ll post pics soon

    Welcome!

    @BestGen has a sweet RCLB with a 3” lift and 34’s. Coilovers or 5100’s will be a better route than a spacer leveling kit.

    Let’s see a pic of your truck.

    It’s my Dads old truck. He sold it to me for cheap. He decided he wants my moms car and she is gettn something new. Anyway I really like it because I rarely see these models but I feel they would look awesome with a good 5 inch lift and some 35’s on 15’s.

    Black tires black rims is the plan

    What would the best lift kit be to get a good 5 inch lift. The back would have to lift up too I assume so that would be a full lift kit. Those can be costly correct.

    I’d also like to straight pipe it even tho it’s a v6. Maybe add a turbo or supercharge it.

    I just want it up up a good bit higher with some bull dogged out tires. (2” spacers??)
    35’s on 15’s with straight pipes.

    Who do I use and how much will it cost..?

    Thank you

    Don't do anything until you research this thoroughly... your list as written will turn a great basic truck into a slug that rides & drives like crap.
