    2012 4x4, 5.7flex, just hit 170,000miles without a hiccup.7th Toyota truck, 3rd Tundra in a row. Looking into a new 2017. Looking at raising this 3-4" before giving to son, has anyone tried a 3" front, 3" rear kit? Seeing more and more of these

    The typical lift is a 3/1 lift to level the truck out. Gives a much nicer appearance when lifted. I would only suggest going with the 3/3 if planning to tow alot.
    3" rear block is just too high. No shackles that I know of give 3" lift. Your best bet would be Dakar rear 2" lift springs with 1" block or 1" lift shackle.

    What about Dakar rear springs? How much actual lift do they give? Could shackles be added?

    Dakar spring will give your about 2 & 1/2 inches of lift in the rear. I think shackles could be added, but with 2 & 1/2 inches of lift already, how much more would you want to lift?

    I think it would be much too high in the back with a 3". If you tow a lot, I'd go with some Firestone airbags. Most I would consider going is 2"
    I have a DC and put a 3/1 and the rear sits 1.25" higher in the back. Perfect look IMO

    agreed.
    aside from the aesthetic appearance of a 3/1 being nicer there will be less axle wrap to deal with and you won't diminish the function of the rear shocks and leafs nearly as much.
