Elka Reviews

Planning to lift the front 1.5" to 1.75" and improve the ride/suspension performance over the factory Bilstein's.
Very interested in the Elka 0-2" kit.
Dealers I've called in the area don't much feedback for this setup.

Wondering how the overall on and off road ride changed when you switched from factory suspension to the Elka's.

Not many online reviews for the 2" body and just a few for the 2.5"
Reservoir models aren't required and even 2.5" may be more than needed for the amount of gravel/fire roads we'll be driving although washboard isn't uncommon.

Considering coachbuilder .625 or 1.25" to retain 1.5" rake for towing and not throw the Toyota TSS off.

The Icon expansion pack may be an option for the rear (advertised @ 1.5") although the finished result seems to vary from truck to truck.

Does anyone know the approximate amount a front can be lifted without throwing the TSS off or causing errors on a 2020 or newer model.

A few threads mentioned around 1" although a heavy load in the back could represent a fair bit more than 1".
I'd imagine a little of tolerance would be built in to account for heavier towing or load situations causing the sensor angle to change.

3/2 here on 21 no tss issues.

 

Thanks for the link. Checked out those posts although they don't
comment on the 2.0"
Many will say too small for the Tundra although they seem substantially larger than the factory shocks which aren't difficult to outperform.

 

Good to hear.
I said f*k it and hit the order button.
Will be sure to give a review in a few months when they arrive and are installed.

 

Interested in this set up as well, let us know your experience once installed and driven

 

Suscribed... Looking forward to your reviews.

 

Will be sure to post results.

 

What's your suspension setup with the 3/2?

 

Front Fat Bob's Garage Vated adj. Coilovers with 700# coils, SPC adj. uca's. Sway bar drop spacers, diff drop spacers, timbren active bump stops. Rear Dobinson's HD 7 leaf packs, yello Sumo Springs, Roadmaster HD active Suspension kit, BDS traction bars, Bilstein 5160 shocks w/ res, Ironman greasable shackles and poly bushings, OME brake line relocate, Ironman carrier bearing drop kit. Set up for weight here. My point is a slight lift doesn't bother my tss function.

 

Copy that on the TSS. Impressive package.

 

Too bad you aren't local in YYC @BCTRD - you could come drive my Tundra and get a feel for the Elkas.

 

Be nice to compare the ride, we're over in YYJ.

Decided to go 2.5 Elka on the rear as well.

Probably set the fronts @ 1 5/8" to 1 3/4" with CB shackles or an aal type pack in the rear for around 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" rake.
If there was an add a leaf set up with decent ride & a little extra capacity I'd be set.
Will look into firestones at a later date if required.

I'll install everything in the new year due to delays in production.
The Toyo Open Country ATIII's are backordered for up to 2 months so no rushing this build.

 

You’ll love the set up I have 2.5 non-res all round set upfront at 2.5” with a CB 2” shackle with open country at3 (285/75 18) and it’s awesome all around for everything I do which is tow, off road it does the job is comfortable I have JBA UCA’s no issues with the sensors only had to recal. Cause the size change I do need to get the 3” Shackle replaced cause I’m just about level and I want the take back cause of the sag while towing my camper
