    6" RC lift, 35x12.50x20 tires, 20x9 wheels with +20, tires are flush with fender flares, after being on here for some time now, I have learned from seasoned vets on here, yes the Tundra looks cool on a 6" lift, but ride quality is CRAP! BUT, for what I do with MY Tundra, suits me ok, I plan on starting all over again, don't get me wrong, I love my Tundra! But I also want ride quality as well, I don't live in the Rockies or out in the desert and the lift I have wouldn't work well at all, do your research and how you plan to use your Tundra, you wanna do a spacer or drop bracket lift, so be it, it's your money, you wanna Baja race, climb rocks and have a great ride and all that, then be ready to spend some money, you got lots of members on here that are willing to help you and give good advice on what you want to achieve with your ride, good luck

    I'm going with this setup. 6" ProComp, 20×12 rims with -43 and 35" tires. Hopefully tires only come out an inch or so past the fender flares

    Ok, so I am having the same issue. I am not sure if I should go with a rough country/ ready lift 6" or 8" or BDS 8"? Some people down here in south Florida tell me that R/C and ready lift are not as good as BDS? Being new to installing it on my own ride I am not sure what to go with. My 2012 GMC 1500 had a 6' pro comp and I loved it. never had any issues. I don't mud my ride, just use it for towing, going to the mountains in NC and when I go up north to NY/NJ

    I think BDS have a life time warranty. But I am sure someone with more information on this will chime in. I was told a bracket lift is a lift. Unless you go off roading.

    I loved my white tundra I lifted. Only aggravating thing was cleaning off the rail dust/rust spots every year.

    Here are a couple pics of the final build. It looks really good and it rides like shit. Stiff, stiff, stiff, I feel everything on the road. I also have a vibration / shudder in the drivetrain at 9-12 mph. The info I got on this forum leads me to the carrier bearing spacer being too small. Currently the spacer is .50", I have purchased the 1.25" spacer kit but I haven't installed it yet, I hope it fixes the vib20200103_144159.jpg 20200103_154119.jpg 20200103_154135.jpg

    .50” is only good up to 3” right?

    That is the way it was explained to me. 3" to 5" rear lift requires a 1.25" drop down spacer. Still not 100% confident it will fix the problem though
