Question Options: 2010 CrewMax 3/1 lift kit?

I was considering a ReadyLift, but they don't list one available for a 2010. What are my best options. Thanks!

I put the Toy Tec 3/1.5 on my 2010 CM 4X4. Went on without any problems. Also installed the differential kit. Check out Toy Tec they list everything for the 2010.

anything that fits the '07-'09 will fit the 2010 too - they are all the same suspension.

Thanks...good to know. That should open up my options. Now, what is the best? ReadyLift, Toy Tec or another?

Low Range Off Road? Bilstein 5100?

If the suspension is the same for 2008, then that should give you two more options..

Okay:

ReadyLift vs. Low Range vs. ToyTec

Help me pick.

BTW: my driving habits are 80% road, 20% off-road miles

You can throw the truxxx into the mix as well, they are all good. I personally went with the low range because their kit was complete, including tapered rear blocks, which nobody else does. Both the Low Range and the Toytec are made out of aluminum, the truxxx and readylift are steel. The other major difference is the readylift, truxxx and low range go on top of the strut assembly, the toytec spacer gets "sandwhiched" in the spring.
The ride height adjustable bilstein 5100s is another good option, many people have done those and are very happy. Rancho makes a quick lift version of a ride height adjustable shock as well.
Probably the best option, however the most expensive, is going with a full coilover setup with replacment upper control arms. Camburg, sway-a-way, icon, toytec, king, kore and probably a few Ive forgot, make adjustable coilovers for the tundra.
So with all that said, Id suggest you visit all those manufacturers websites and spend some quality time with google and then decide whats best for YOU.

Thanks for taking the time to supply such a thorough reply, mhollack. That helps a lot. I'll spend some time doing the research and the math.

ON my non trd 4x2 Crewmax I have 5100 all the way around with front full lift gave me an extra 2.5 of lift.

So measure your stock truck front and back, both sides on level ground and add 2.5 inches up front to give you idea.

The rears gave me a 1/2 inch higher then stock height as measured before.

LOOK is not over powering and most will never notice lifted truck but you will notice it when driving and when getting in, for a very noticeable lift you need 6 inches.


On my crewmax I would jack 5100 at full 2.56 all over again for it gave me 1 inch rake with all 4 and it looks great IMHO.

Just remember that results do very.

I went with the Low Range kit for my 2010 DC 4x4. Very nice kit and easy to install. All I had to rent was a big torque wrench. Kit went on in about 3 hours.

I also was going to put on a set of Ride Rite airbags from Firestone. However, with the spacer blocks the bracket that comes with the kit did not sit on the axle like it was designed too. I have heard that quite a few people run it this way but I did not feel it was right.
I contacted firestone and they told me I need a spacer bracket part number 2507. However I could not find that item anywhere. I called several "dealers" but they were useless. Firestone is also not very helpful. Can't order from them directly according to the rep.

I emailed Chris at Low Range Off Road to ask about the issue since his website says the Firestone kit #2445 will work with the lift blocks.

To make a long story short he is in the process right now of making a spacer bracket custom fit for his lift blocks. Since his lift blocks are just a bit taller to accommodate the 3 degree taper the one from Firestone probably would not be 100% correct.

I should also mention another thing.

I spoke to Scott at Camburg. It says on their website that their UCA's are not designed to work with spacer kits.

However, Scott clarified to me that I could in fact use their UCA's with my spacer kit. He said the problem comes in when you try to use a coilover and a spacer kit to get more lift.

I will probably be putting in at least the UCA's and maybe even their custom 5100 coilovers but not anytime soon.
