Suspension Question

I've got a 2023 tundra, and I just want to level my front and get a slightly better ride. So my question is if these coilovers would meet my needs and also require minimal modifications, i would pair with rear shocks as well. Also curious if anyone has these already and can share their experience.

My needs:
1. Doesn't void factory warranty
2. Levels out the front
3. Looks fine with factory tires
4. Improves ride quality
5. Easy/cheap installation

 

First, this will probably get moved to the Suspension sub-forum to get more responses. Mods will take care of that.

To respond to your questions:

1. Doesn't void factory warranty - The only way to guarantee this is to get the 3" factory lift from Toyota. You buy it and have it installed through a dealer and it comes with a 3 yr/36k mile warranty. Anything else is at risk of being a warranty issue. Most dealers won't make a stink about an aftermarket lift that is installed correctly, but you always run the risk that you'll get a bad dealer that will use the lift as an excuse to deny a warranty claim on something drivetrain and/or suspension related. No dealer is going use aftermarket coils to deny a warranty claim on an unrelated component, like your radio or air con system.

2. Levels out the front - This kit will do that.

3. Looks fine with factory tires - This is subjective to the person and is totally up to you.

4. Improves ride quality - Again...subjective. You have a platinum, according to your profile. Are you saying that you don't like the ride quality of your Platinum? What suspension or package do you have? Do you have the air suspension, the basic black coilovers up front, or the TRD OR package with the Billsteins?

5. Easy/cheap installation - This is a pretty easy swap. It's a 2-hour job for anyone who's done it before. It might not be "cheap", but I would say that your install cost is probably $500-$750, including an alignment (which you'll need), depending on where you're located and local labor rates.

 

Thanks for the info, to answer a few of your questions. I don't hate my ride quality, but I have the basic suspension, I more so just don't want the ride quality to go down, I like it currently so just want any aftermarket upgrade to only improve on it. The installation costs sound to be about what I was hoping for. Only thing that concerns me is the warranty. Maybe I'll just off until my warranty expires. I don't really want to drop 3k on the toyota kit.

 

Don't buy from Yota garage, there almost is always a better deal out there then those guys. Just an FYI.

Pretty much what @KroppDuster said answers your questions.

 

You could always just throw a spacer in there and remove it before taking it into the dealership for warranty claims (unless the spacer indeed caused the issue).

 

Thinking the lift may also require the Red TRD OR axles. May want to check on that just in case. If you have them then I'd say you are good to go. Installation 45 minutes per side if you have the tools. And yes an alignment.

 

That link is very misleading. They're making it look like you get a pair for $599.95 (as they've made a photo with 2 coilovers in it), but they're actually sold individually, so it's $1200 for 2.

The only thing that voids your factory warranty is things that directly affect whatever the issue is. For example, if you throw on a 2" lift and then blow out a wheel bearing or CV axle, they may raise questions because it's not stock anymore. But if you blow your engine, that's not because of a suspension lift.
