tundra lift setup
#3
Well I hate nothing more than when I get told there is a search button on here, so I'll try to help.... no offense to anybody, but when people throw the "there is search button on here" line I want to tell them "you have 10 fingers, pick one and shove it up your ......" Geez, that wasn't nice... I hope santa isn't reading this...
Okay I lost my measurements for my lift, but I estimated I got 2.5-3" up front with the tundra 4x4 extra cab coils and 3/8 spacers from bamachem. I say this because I really did do a ˟˟˟˟-ton of research and my CV's were as high as anybody's even with the differential drop kit. Just recently, I feel like it really dropped a lot. I'm feel a bit bad piping up about it, but I started a post yesterday where I went on to say my 32's are rubbing again when i turn at the right spot... So I guess you can just realize that all springs settle at least SOME. In all honesty, I rate my mechanical ability as above average, my experience as average, and my tool selection as below average, but I thought doing the front suspension was a big pain in the butt. I had a tough time fitting that OME/Tundra coil with spacer in there... I mean it took me at least 8 hours of solid work to make it fit. That said, I wouldn't attempt anything higher. If you're really just looking for a number, I'm going to say I got about 1.5" of lift.... maybe 2.... I'm giving my honest opinion but my numbers are very un-scientific unfortunately. Note that I do have limited flairs and my right side rubbed before when most peoples don't with 32's... Otherwise, I'm very happy with the lift but would get softer rear springs if I did it again.
