Previously a RAM owner, just made the switch to Toyota Tundra

Just bought a 2020 with 13K miles. Picked it up on Wednesday. Windows tinted Friday. Ranchand bumpers going to be installed this Wednesday, after which I am considering a 4" chassis lift and better tires.
Any suggestions from the more experienced modders here? TIA

 

Welcome from DFW.

What are you wanting to do with your truck? This way relevant mods can be suggested

 

Well, lifting it for starters. Exhaust after that.
Was considering 3.5 Rough Country lift with coil spacers in the front and N3 shocks in the rear, but I was told that I might have some bumpsteer issues if i went that route. So instead it was recommended to go with the 4" RC lift, but it's twice as much. So I'm looking for knowledge based on experience.

 

@BCP with adding a Ranchhand bumper (which adds a bit of weight) it would be better to go with new coilovers instead of blocks in the front.

What type of driving are you doing? On road, off road, dirt roads? All play a factor in what will get recommended. Normally the RC lifts are lower on the recommendations but they are also more affordable. If you are mainly on paved roads this will probably suit your needs.

Many folks will ask your future plans because many of us have paid for mods, then had to re do them since we bought a cheaper version initially and learned we needed better just trying to help.

 

Most here, myself included would suggest going with a coilover lift for 2.5-3”. A good basic option is Bilstein 5100 adjustables. You can also get beefier ones like the 6112s, Old Man Emu coilovers, Eibach, Ironman, toytec, Icon, the list goes on with lots of options and prices. For the rear I really like a progressive Add-A-Leaf as it improves the ride IMO and decreases sag for hauling.

When lifting I’d also consider a front differential drop, and a carrier bearing drop kit.

 

Welcome from NY.

I'm sure Keith @dirtydeeds is going to have a sale next week on the exhaust system.

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Ranch hand bumpers are heavy. I’d look at old man emu heavy duty springs and their shocks to give you a roughly 3” lift up front. Better ride and handling if you off road at all.

dobinsons is another good option

 

Yes, what are you wanting to DO with it?

 

Welcome fellow double cab owner. Dirty Deeds exhaust was my first mod, worth every penny. Do yourself a favor and get a decent coilover for a lift up to 3". Here's mine lifted 3" with Fox 2.5 coilovers and on 35" tires.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome and helpful ideas.
I live in the country and most of my driving will be on roads with some farm use, nothing too hard-core.

I'm looking to level with a small lift. I ran Bilstien 5100s on my RAM, set at 2.1" with no issues in over 80K, but I was always concerned about the stress on the UCA's. So I am considering other options that would hopefully allow the front suspension to remain as lined up as possible, if that makes sense.

 

Dirty Deeds exhaust

Tires personal preference but I’m partial to Wildpeaks

Wescott Designs for lift needs.

Not a forum shill - you will find all 3 have good reputations amongst this forum and have provided excellent support to their customers.

 

Welcome to the crew.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome and greetings from Minnesota. Nice looking truck.

 

Owned one for 13yrs now with only a few minor issues. * fingers crossed.

 

Welcome.

 

Welcome!

 

Sweet truck, love the color! Out of curiosity, what prompted the switch from Ram?

 

Thanks!
I really enjoyed both of my Rams, the only issue I had with either of them was the typical "hemi tick" caused by the warping exhaust manifolds. The reason for my switch was primarily due to the Toyota reputation. I was at 112K on my most recent Ram when I saw this Tundra for sale with such low mileage, I just had to. LOL

 

Just be sure to change the oil every 5k miles and not 10, and ur truck will last you a long time

 

I agree, with Amsoil if possible.

 

Oil change every 5k with amsoil? What kind of ams oil? @Tyman ... I thought amsoil was high milage anyways?

 

Yes every 5,000 with Signature series.

 

Welcome from Nevada

 

You should always change your oil every 5k miles or 6 months which ever comes first. The high mileage crap is a gimmick. You can watch the car care nut channel on youtube and he explains and more importantly shows what happens to the engine when you dont do oil changes every 5k miles.
