Strut size

Hey, Guys, I'm trying to find out what size struts to order with a 3-inch front lift on my 2018 Tundra. Oh yeah, i do have rear tow bags as well. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

 

Tundras dont use struts. What lift are you installing, a spacer? If so, you may want to rethink that. If you need new shocks then look at lifted coilovers instead of a spacer lift. Most reputable 2.5/3 inch lifts will be package deal, lifted front coilovers, matching rear shocks, etc. And ride and performance will be much better than a spacer lift.

Need more info on that you are planning to do/install.

 

Danm autocorrect. I meant rear end shackles. Don't know if i should order 2 inches or 3 inch.

 

2.5 gen Tundras have 2 inches of rake from the factory. So fully level if lifting the front 3 would be to lift the rear an inch. But if you to any towing or hauling with a level truck, it rides high in front with any loads or towing. So if it was my truck and I lifted the front 3 inches, I would lift the rear 2 inches to have an inch of rake.

 

and you know rear shock replacement is not going to lift the truck right? Ride height comes from the springs, not shocks. Shocks just dampen the suspension movement while the front and rear springs support the truck and any load.

 

Perfect, thanks for the information!

 

Also Coachbuilder 2" or 3" shackles don't lift that much. Slightly more than half that which is listed on the website.

Toytec advertises as lifted height

Check the 6112 wheel tire thread. Tons and tons of examples with CB 1/2/3 and toytec shackles at both 1" and 1.5"

Also what front lift? 5100? 6112? Hopefully not a spacer
