Adding to TRD Lift, 2016 SR5 Doublecab.

Hi, I just got my first Tundra, it is a 2016 SR5 Doublecab TRD Offroad.

The original owner had a TRD lift installed, which appears to be the same Bilstein Piggyback Red Spring Coilovers that are found on the TRD Pro model.

It rides quite well, but id like to get a little more height out of it without compromising the ride quality. I am not sure on tire size, I like a bit of space in the fenderwell.

My questions are as follows:
1) I have read that this coilover will allow for more travel than stock. Does the TRD Pro have different upper control arms than my SR5?

2) for a lift i was considering 1” coachbuilder shims ( these - https://shop-coachbuilder.myshopify...der-strut-coilover-shim-provides-1-00-of-lift), a 1” lift block for the rear, and diff drop from toytec. And possibly bumpstop extensions, or a few fender washers, if anyone knows how far i would need to space it. Would this work?

3) my center of hub to fender measurements are 23” on passenger side, and 22 3/4” on driver side. From what I can find stock is about 22”. Is this right? Have these springs sagged? If so I may look at the westcott lift method (preload spacer and small top spacer) to firm up spring a tad and get an extra half inch. Both rear measurements are 24”.

4) Any concerns with ditching the front sway bar? Id leave the rear. I dont think ill ever fill the bed more than 600lbs, but may tow a small tent trailer.

Thanks in advance, I am really liking the tundra. Here is as she sits with 285/65/18s that came with.

 

They all have the same control arm. I think you’re chasing margins that are of little benefit. Half inch of height is nothin man, just enjoy it

 

Thanks for the reply, Good to know the UCA”s are the same.

I did some more research, and it does appear that i am at or under one inch of lift from stock. I am going to be making a front bumper for winch probably which will not help much. It seems these springs are pretty soft.

The TRD lift wasnt really a factor in me buying the truck, I did not realize it was something special until after.

This truck will be off road alot, not 4x4ing per say, but lots of washboarded forestry and crossditched deactivated roads, also driving through up to 10” snow in the winter.

Research ongoing.

 

Ah! It is possible that the springs are a little worn as well. You could add a spacer, you’re gonna lose some up travel so check with coachbuiler if bumpstop spacer is needed too, depends on the collapsed length of that shock model. Uca is needed if your shock has more down travel than the stock balljoint would allow. I suspect the swaybar could be the limiting factor though before hitting max. Youd have to check with/without it connected, which could be tested now
