Vendeta2k’s 18 Cement Build

Ordered them from @Roman

 

That's a nice setup! That's a spacer lift/level, correct? Was it put on by the dealer? How's it been handling? Any issues with hauling/towing/off-roading? Thanks!

 

It is a spacer/lift level. It was installed by Lithia Toyota in Missoula Montana. Seems great to me. Been on there almost 2 years with no issues that I am aware of!

 

so the front is not a tad higher than the back? I'm looking for something like this but other leveling kits are a little higher on the front. I do not want higher on the front. please let me know how it fits. i'm ready to make the purchase on a leveling kit. thanks for your time

 

it doesn’t seem higher in the front to me....sits level. If I was home I could measure but I’m away for work. I’m more than happy with my 3/1 lift/level kit

 

thanks for replying. if it sits level i'll be getting this kit. next will be upgrading wheels and tires. not sure if 20's or 22's. would like 35s tires but not sure if I can fit that size without trimming metal. I do not want to do major trimming.

 

Truck looks awesome. I just purchased my second Tundra, (My son also drives an 06) and I'm fixing to start some mods. Mine is a traditional SR5, but I love the look you got with your TRD. I saw that you added a 3/1 leveler and I was thinking about doing the same. I believe that I have been told that the TRD's sit a little higher from the factory already, so I was wondering if I need to go 4/2 to achieve the look you got? All advice appreciated.

 

I have no clue as to the stock heights. I have had the leveling kit on for about 30k now with no issues. I think it all depends on your budget. I've been thinking about ditching the leveling kit and going with a full King Suspension setup front and rear with a rear shackle. Truck rides fine as is, but think it might be better with a different setup. Lots of threads on the site on different lift/leveling options.

 

Thanks! I'm just beginning my research. Your truck is almost exactly what I had pictured in my mind. Nice Ride...

 

@Vendeta2k Thank you for sharing your build! I live in Helena, nice to see some custom Tundra's in our neck of the woods!

 

There are a few of us around!

 

Thanks!

 

Do you remember part numbers for the black center trim and vents?

 

Looks great!

 

I don’t. If you contact @Roman on this forum he can help you out with the part numbers and getting them ordered

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks! BTW very cool looking truck!

Post #1 has the part number

 

Your 3/1 leveling kit, I assume it was a spacer/block set up? After getting your front alignment, I'm wondering if bump stops extensions are needed. I hear it is easy to taco a shock.

 

I never ran any…although my tundra is a bit of a pavement princess…..

 

This thread needed updating. Recently got rid of the 3/1 low range off-road spacer lift and went toytec coil overs with toytec rear shocks and total chaos uca’s….what an amazing difference!

 

Do you have any pictures since upgrading the suspension? Any plans to go with a bigger tire or are you sticking with the 275s ?

 

no pictures as it sits at the same height as the old lift. Sticking to the 275s for now

 

This rig looks sweet!

 

Nice build! I like your tasteful mods and the Cement color is so cool! How is the ride on your toyotec coilovers compared to the leveling kit?

 

Figured it was time for a bit of an update. I now have king coil overs with remote reservoirs front and rear. Went to a bigger nitto ridge grappler in 285/75/18 and added the magnuson tvs1900 supercharger. What a game changer on the truck.

Also I have upgraded the sound system again with JL audio VXI amplifiers, upgraded to 3 way hertz Millie front stage along with a new MTI acoustics enclosure sporting 2 13 inch JL audio subs.

 

We need pics!
