Leveling question

does anybody have any recommendation on leveling kits? Does this impact warranty? How much do they go for on average with install?

 

Really depends on what your doing with your Tundra. If you will be on the street 90% of the time, then spacers would suffice. From experience with this situation if I had to do it again , I would wait and do it right the first time. What I mean is spend the money on a better setup. To answer your questions, 1- If you go the spacer route get a billet aluminum spacer vs steel. Supreme Suspension's has a good kit. 2- No it wouldn't impact your warranty. 3- You can get quality spacers between $75 and 150. Figure around $150-200 for install.

 

A spacer is a cheap way to get into the leveling game until you know what you want.

For the same price as spacers you could go with Bilstien 5100 at mid setting for the front which gives you a slightly better shock then OEM, but with the height adjustment option they provide.

I hemmed and hawed over this same question and figured if I had to tear apart my front end (or pay someone to do it) and then get a $100 alignment, I'd wait and save and get the best option. I found a set of 6112s last Black Friday for a great deal (still a lot of money) but absolutely love the way it drives.

 

Again, it really depends on what you do with your truck.

Mine is a daily driver, and I rarely haul a load and I don't tow because my truck is set up as a 'sport truck' for the street. I leveled the truck by lowering the rear suspension to match the stock height of the front suspension. The leaf springs are relocated under the axle, and air bags & a rear sway bar were added.

 

Does that only work with a dump exhaust? Trying to get my head upside down with those leafs under the axle, lol

 

Yes, the stock tail-pipe is cut & dumped in front of the axle.

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks

 

Mine will be 90% on the street but I get some rubb on my new wheels and tire so I’m thinking spacer would be good enough from all the recs

 

I'm going to do Bilstein 5100's on the middle setting.

 

Do you have a url to this? Where do you get yours installed at?

 

How many inches is that and does it impact warranty?

 

Didn't do it yet. I'm going to do it myself.

 

Not sure yet, it should be level to the rear. No it shouldn't.

 

Jim, are you just doing the 5100’s up front?

That was my plan too- middle setting also. I am going to stick (for now) with the 4600’s in the rear, and I am hoping that will take most of the rake out without creating TSS issues.

I can order my 5100’s, but I won’t have a chance to install until mid July most likely. I’d be very interested in seeing how yours turns out if your plan and mine are similar.

 

I'm going to do 5100's, on all 4.
Can't do the install until after 7/8-9, because truck is going to dealership for the TSS recalls.
I'm going to set the fronts on the middle setting.

 

What about rears? Top setting?

 

Tears? Top setting would bring the nose up higher then the rear.

 

I did 5100's on the 2" raised setting. It rides better than it did with the stock 4600's.

 

I corrected my stupid phone- ‘“rears”

 

Lol
Putting 5100's there also.

what are the TSS issues by leveling?

 

Did you do the 2” setting in all four corners?

 

There are some having TSS malfunctions after doing lifts.
Some dealerships are refusing to fix or re calibrate TSS on the vehicles stating that the owner has altered the vehicle and voided the warranty.

Not all, but some.

 

Just the fronts, rears are still the stock 4600's.

 

any, issues with your tss sensors?

 

I have a 2016 so no tss sensors.

 

2/1 on my 18’. All tss systems function perfect.

 

That’s was my first mod.
I went with pro Comp and so far 40k miles no issues.
It took me 45 minutes to put on.
