3in or 6in lift?

Depends on what you're going for and what you're going to do with your truck. Welcome from the college station area BTW

 

It all depends on how you plan on using your truck.

 

Haha! I think all great tundra owner minds think alike!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome
I’m going for aesthetics, first and foremost. I might do some playing in the mud on occasion, but I still want to be able to utilize my truck for its towing and hauling capabilities.

 

I had a 5/3 and then bought Fox coilovers/rears and replaced the junk Toyota leaf pack and ended up with 6/4. Very happy now! Truck rides great! Better than stock.

 

I’m not very well versed in the suspension lingo....what do you mean by “5/3” and “6/4”? ??Lift in front vs rear??

 

Yes, generally you want a slightly higher lift in the front vs the rear for a level look

 

Okay, so that is referring to a leveling kit only?

 

No ma'am, a leveling kit generally only raises the front (or levels the front) to match the higher stock rear

 

I’m familiar with the purpose of a leveling kit.....
And a suspension lift will also achieve that, right?
I plan on installing bigger tires as well.

 

Yes, use the search box on here to view all the threads about lifts on our tundras. Pretty much every kind has been talked about on this forum. .. you just have to find it. You'll see that this forum can make you easily separate yourself from your money with mods!

 

Lol
Oh, I know all about mods.....this is just my first time modifying my very own truck

 

Thank you for all your help, btw

 

Well once again welcome, have fun with your truck and making it unique in your own way. You'll have to keep us updated with progress pictures.... that way we can admire/ drool or day dream about what we want to do to our trucks

 

Will do!

 

Get the BDS 7" lift kit with Fox shocks and Atlas leaf packs. This is what my truck looked like over 4 years ago with the BDS kit and 37" tires..

Here's my truck today..

 

Oh my!! Rock crawler! Looks nice then and now

 

6” Fabtech Coilovers with coachbuilder +3 shackles on 22 wheels on 33’s

 

Welcome from Tacoma!

 

295/60r20 (34x12) on a 3 inch ToyTec lift, coachbuilder shackles in back. Rides better than stock. I'd definitely go 3 inch, however would dechrome first

 

Depends on how you want to use your truck. Also how tall you are and how and if you need to reach into the bed on a regular basis. As a shorter female 5' 2" I put 3" kit on and then added the Amp Research Bedtep2 so I can reach to open my Diamondback tonneau cover from the side.

 

I mean, I don't know what you want to do, but I like the plan above, a very good plan.

Also, if you want to change out all your chrome to black, good for ya', but a lot of people on this site have Post Traumatic Chrome Disorder, which causes them to 1) be induced into the group psychosis and 2) spend unnecessary amounts of money for no reason at all.

Personally, I like Chrome with white.

The #1 factor in affecting the over-all aesthetics of your truck is its stance [suspension and tire combination]: even then, it's a matter of personal preference [subjective perspective]. Of course, rims kinda factor into that.

It all depends upon what kind of look you are going for and where you are in life. What I like today is a lot different than what I liked 10 years go.

However, it's the person in the driver's seat that gives the truck character. Peruse the forum and then do what YOU like.

Nice rig, btw.

P.S. Oh, yeah, you found the right site.

 

It’s a lot more involved for the 6” vs 3” lift.
Look through this thread and see if anything fits what you want it to look like. It’ll give you an idea of a relatively inexpensive way to lift your truck. https://www.tundras.com/threads/6112-setting-and-tire-wheel-combo-thread.23699/page-26#post-1565387

 

Thank you for the insight! And the compliment about my rig. Lol. I call him Gary, he’s totally my boyfriend!

I’m definitely concerned about the “look”. My last lifted rig was a 2001 Chevy Suburban. This is new to me. But i have seen a ton of sexy lifted Tundras out there!!
Thanks again!!
