Default What lift kit should i do for my truck

k. basically i wanna know how big of a lift i need to put on my stock 03 4x4 Trd Ltd Tundra so i can put either 33'' tires or 35''tires. and im not a hardcore offroader. i just ocasionally go out in the dunes and offroad or go out in the desert and offroad. i also go hunting every year and i wanna get more into camping again. do i reallly need a suspension lift or can i get away with buying a block body lift? Also i drive on the highway so i need to take highway comfort riding into consideration. thanks verry much if you have a good question for me

If you're on a budget and want a little additional performance offroad, check out Hugemoose's setup...Bilstein 5100s all around, and 33" tires. DeebsTundra has the same kit on his truck, it's second from the left in this picture...with the push bar.



The parts are available from Wheeler's Offroad, one of the site sponsors, for a little over 200$ for the front.

This kit will do everything you're looking for.

That's correct. Look up Hugemoose's truck, he's got a bunch of pics in the Offroad forum.

no, you will need aftermarket wheels or wheel spacers

Spend the money $900+ if you want a good lift or leveling kit. Go with a name brand, ICON, Tough---Country, PRO COMP, Skyjacker, Day Star, etc Don't buy a $150 kit because you'll pay for it later on.

$950 for the front coil overs, $950 for the upper control arms, $400 for the rear shocks, $600 for the rear springs, $95 for Brake lines, $250 for light bar, $70 for lights, $250 for rims, $600 for tires.

Total = $4165 + Shipping and Install

Worth Every penny. I've never said, man i wish i would of............. In fact ive never have heard enyone who have gotten Coilovers say they wish they hade spacers instead. Its always man I wish i did it right the first time and got coilovers
