3rd Gen Suspension Lift - MEGA THREAD

do you have any grease bleeding coming from the upper control arm bushings?

 

Quite a bit as I grease them often given the amount of dust they see.

 

ok right on it’s my first time having to do maintenance on bushings so wasn’t sure what I should be looking for. Thank you!

 

what grease do you use for the uca bushings. Do you have to loosen the uca to grease? I only ask because it takes some convincing to get grease to go in for me. But than again it could be the grease gun that I’m using. Ball joint I have no issues it’s just the bushings

 

It's a low demand application, anything will work. I use Lucas red cause that what I've got the most of. I've had bushings that won't take grease, if it's not a clogged zirk then it's just too tightly to accept grease. Seems unlikely with the bushings icon uses but possible

 

Are all Icon UCAs like that. I figure at one point I’ll have to service mine. I hope the guys at Toyota initially greased mine. Thanks for the feedback.

 

I finally bit the bullet and ordered new wheels and tires, I went with 17" Method 703's wrapped in 35 x 12.5 BFG KOs. I've been waiting to lift the truck since May of last year (was waiting on the TRD lift) I abandoned that idea back in November and ordered the Icon stage 5 3.5" lift, but that has been on hold while I've been waiting for the passenger side red axle (on back order from Toyota). But the dealer says my axle will ship in a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to finally having the truck looking more my style instead of an old man truck.

 

have you thought about getting the Trd lift axles? they are a little cheaper and are in stock vs the red axles.

 

Looks great! I cant tell from the pics, but what is the offset on those RRW Wheels? and what size are the Coopers?

I have some 295/10/18 on my TRD pro wheels however I ordered the RRW RS7 wheels 18x8.5 +25 offset.

 

I noticed there were a few comments/questions about the rear of the lower control arm contacting the upper portion of the lower ball joint knuckle when turning. Did anyone find a solution to that issue? I recently lifted my tundra and the turning radius of the truck has gone to crap and I noticed the same issue. I'm curious if anyone knows if the lower knuckle on the TRD lift kit addressed that issue or if it is something we have to live with?

 

Nicely done. 3rd Gens need beefy tires to fit the rest of the truck and this looks perfect

 

Any one have the Fox 3.0 Factory Race Series Internal Bypass coilovers and rear shocks?

 

After lifting my tundra, it now has a worse turning radius than our 12 yard Dump truck, lol. Would be nice if there was a “fix.”

 

@Dirtsurfer83 I'm hoping I can get by a dealership at some point to look at a tundra with the TRD lift installed and see if the lower knuckle is different than the stock one. Someone posted in another thread that they replaced the lower ball joint knuckles and that solved their issue. The lift kit the used is different than the one I used but I'm hoping it will solve the turning issue. If someone, who has the TRD lift installed, can post a picture of the front and back side of the lower ball joint knuckle that might help.

 

I had it on a 22 DC, trade it for 23 CM so no picture available but there is this thread and a list.

Couple of questions. I have the OE TRD OR package on the truck.

What is the comparable aftermarket shock to this? The 5100? Or something else? I’m very happy with the ride quality of the stock suspension. Had Fox 2.0 coilovers on my F150, and while they were great off-road and washboard dirt roads, they topped out easily and they were pretty harsh.

I’m looking to level the front, not really interested in the rear for the time being and was looking at a full coil over setup at the outset, and didn’t want to sacrifice ride quality, just needed a bit more lift in the front.
Suggestions?

 

Hi everyone. This thread has a lot of great information. I'm about to install the 3" TRD lift on my 25' Tundra SR5. I'm trying to find any info on problems with the Toyota safety sense. Has anyone had issues after a lift? If so, what was the fix? Thanks in advance!

 

What are the spring rates front and rear on the TRD Off Road package. I searched but couldn’t find the info.

thanks

 

With an sr5, regular black axels. Did you add a diff drop for your 3" lift. Ordered UCAs , trying to make sure if diff drop is needed

 

37 cooper's. Rrw are 17s with 0 offset

 

i'm in same boat had a 2018 with the fox 2.0 installed with a 3inch lift, and it got totaled.

ended up getting a 2025 platinum with a TRD Off Road Package, but want to level it, and get similar from the fox shocks, but not sure what to get.

 

I’m very sure I’ll be getting the Eibachs. If nothing else, than for the warranty.

 

is the warranty from eibach? or from toyota?

Also what eibachs, have a link to them?

 

Eibach.

will that work with a 2025?

 

Was also looking at the bilstein 5100. Anyone use those?
