3rd Gen Suspension Lift - MEGA THREAD

Yes their instructions on their website.. It’s not a tower per se, just a box around the bottom shock mount.

 

Ha! Good point. Fortunately, just a delivery from an out of state dealer!

 

I will be throwing on some King 2.5 shocks next month and was curious what everyone is doing for the rear? I would like the truck to sit nice and level. If I left the stock springs would it be nose high?

 

Any rubbing with that ? I’m on 285 -75r18 and have rubbing right now on a 2” level but zero offset wheel. I was looking at going to the ims kit

 

Quick question- installing icon stage 4 lift and it calls for removing axle nut. It’s listed as a 38mm 12 point on the icon instructions but it doesn’t appear to be a proper fit. The older tundras and other Toyotas have used a 39mm 12 point. Is this the case for the gen 3? Is it even necessary to remove the axle nut? Looks like coil over can fit with loosening the Lca and removing the lower knuckle bolts.

 

You can install them without removing the axle nut like they describe. Just make sure you control the loosy goosy axle and knuckle when everything is loose and able to freeley move around.

 

Planning to run 2" spring in the rear and a panhard... would I need an 1" inch extended shock?

 

Yes

 

Has anyone upgraded their non pro tundra with the trd pro fox suspension? Wondering how the ride improves. Also curious if anyone swapped their trd pro suspension to the trd 3” lift and changed in ride quality. I am going for ride quality and not looks but need to stay with Toyota products due to worrying about all of motor issues and something aftermarket being blamed. PFA of my truck.

 

Yes. Ping @ryanwgregg who, I believe, installed a take-off TRD Pro suspension on his truck. He can weigh in on the ride quality change.

I believe so. Check out the search function or the OE TRD 3" Lift specific thread. You'll have better luck reading through that thread for this answer.

In looking at your picture, if you're really worried about this, then you've already got enough aftermarket parts on your truck for a dealer to blame whatever they want on aftermarket parts. If they really wanted to be awful to you, they could blame interference of the electrical system causing whatever issue they didn't want to repair. lol. Honestly, you've already cracked that egg and I wouldn't worry about it...but I'm bias. My suspension hasn't been close to stock for a long time.

BTW Welcome to the forum! Good looking truck.

Would be curious to hear anyone who has a review on this. Particularly how it compares to something like dobinsons IMR.

 

Same here ! Are these linear or digressive ? I’m curious to what the ride is tailored for

 

Had the 3" Readylift installed yesterday and paired it with BFG KO2's (285/65R20's). I have AVS/Air Bags, so I bought the appropriate kit from RL and it looks awesome! I've driven it about 25 miles so far and its drives awesome. It actually feels like it drives smoother than stock! If you have AVS/Air Bags, I'm highly recommending at this point! I'll report back if I find any problems.

As a bonus, I found out that I had a TRD skid plate already installed. I've had the truck for a month and never even looked cuz I assumed it was a stock skid plate! The RL kit drops the front differential about 2", so I need to buy some longer bolts and steel spacers to mount the skid plate, but it was a nice surprise!

 

ADS/+2” Dobinsons heavy rear springs. Just needs 38s or 37s!!!

 

Toyota dealer installed Icon Stage 3 on my Tundra yesterday. This kit does not include UCAs and only lifts approximately 2 1/4 in. Plan is to eventually get aftermarket UCAs and adjust the front coilovers to 3 in. I'm happy with how it turned out and I can tell a difference in the quality of ride. Have 295/60/20 tires on it. Will eventually purchase 18 in aftermarket wheels and put 35/12.50/18s on it. This will do for now.

 

This is my buddies rig and he's enjoying the kit. Now on dirty sevens

 

Just installed rough country m1 adj strut, set at 1.75” and added 275/65/20 Nitto recon grappler.

 

Those struts are what I'm leaning towards. . How do you like them? Looks great! I think I want about 1.5" myself. . .

 

Anyone running the Fox setup yet?

Mine should be here pretty quick, then I'll just have to figure a time to get it installed.

 

Did you have to use wheel spacers?

 

It seems each truck is a little different based on mfg stackups. I have 285/65 on stock 1794 wheels without spacers. I'm fairly certain I could fit a true 35 without spacers.

 

Have 2” icon coilovers and 285/75/18 Goodyear duratracs (35.1” per manufacture specs) and it’ll rub just doing a u turn

 

What offset wheel ?

 

18x9 +18

 

Have pics of your tundra to see profile and poke? Did you leave the rear end stock with that tire/ wheel set up?

And post #3368 on suspension set up

Can anybody confirm we have 2 bump stops per side in the front? Have pics?

 

Just 1 per side… And their pathetic, size of an Oreo cookie

 

Huh? I had/have front and rear bump stops. Swapped out the rears for Icon extended bump stops and the fronts have a spacer (.5” or 1”) that came it my Icon kit.
