    Alright here are some pictures of my lift.. any idea on which brand to look into for an upgrade to the suspension? I most definitely cannot afford King or Fox.. I won’t be using this truck to off road up Rubicon. I’m looking for light off-road if and more stability. With this current lift, if I take a freeway exit loop over 20 mph, my traction control comes on and I instantly lose power. I’m hoping I can lower my truck a couple inches and have better, smoother suspension with this setup. Thanks again for being so kind and encouraging everyone!!

    That might be a little bit out of this thread's expertise, I would take the information we've given you so far and head over to the 3rd Gen Forum, or reach out to Rough Country to see if they have the parts to convert your kit to a 4". Bilstein might make shocks that work with this kit and they are usually priced lower than Fox/King/Icon. The rear suspension on this truck is completely different than what most of us are used to.

    Hard to say without looking in person at the quality of the install, but it's nice that whoever installed the kit marked all the bolts.

    Does anyone have a 3rd gen Tundra passenger side upper control arm? Stock or aftermarket. Got a buddy broken on a trail here in Big Bear.

    edit: got him off the trail and back to camp
