Need advice (Lift/Level Kit)

Hello.. so I just bought my first Tundra. 2010 LTD that is all stock. I want to lift/level it but nothing drastic. I'm hoping ya'll can post a pic of your ride with what lift and what tire size. I will warn you, I'm not made of $$$ and am hoping to lift w/o breaking the bank. Lets see what ya got....

 

What are the intended uses for the truck? Pavement princess, offroading?

 

What Tundra234 said. If you're a mall crawler, throw some spacers in and be done with it (cheap). Otherwise the standardish affordable option is Bilsteins 5100s all around at 2/0 or 3/1. Tire size is generally up to 33" before you start getting into other mods. Wheel offsets are generally around +25 or +0 if you have flares or want some poke. Just a generalization, of course there's shit tons of factors affecting all those numbers and ymmv.

 

Thanks for early replies. Not much off roading minus hunting season... but nothing major. I have always just brought the front up level with rear in past 4Rs and Tacomas. I'm thinking the rear needs to come up just a bit too. Would I be looking at 3"front 2" rear? Are brake lines good with length?

 

I think you should be ok at a 2" rear if you want to keep some rake. 2" front is the standard to bring Tundies levelish, or 3" and 1" block in back is common. If you have OCD, most tundies are about 1/2inch lower on drivers side and they make spacers to correct. I think alot of the suspension components are still backordered everywhere, so finding something will probably be your biggest challenge. Check with toytec, maybe they've gotten some stuff in. You should be able to do the Bilsteins all around for 700ish, and they are adjustable at .75, 1.5 and 2.25 if I remember right. 1" blocks in back are cheap, or you can get some shackles, toytec has those too, coachbuilder makes an awesome set, OME etc... I don't think you have to worry about brake lines at 1 or 2in in the rear, but yeah, they are pretty tight back there.

 

Thank you. I do t want any rake. Want her level. So maybe 3" front and 1"rear? I did put toytec on a tacoma with 5100s a few yrs ago

 

Yeah, 3/1 is fairly standard, about as far as you can go without getting into big money. I just mention the bilsteins because you can use your oem coils with them.

 

Now if I can get some members that have the 3" front 1" rear setup to post some pics.... that would be great
