Just bought a Tundra

[joebattle1]

Just stopping in to intro myself and say hi. Recently nought a 2011 SR5 4x4 with 130k miles on it. So far I love this thing. Sold my single cab 2 seater Tacoma to get into this.

I’d like to do a real lift instead if this block lift it’s got. I bought an under seat storage and a 13” radio antenna but that’s it so far. I’ve gotta go slow with this thing since I just dumped a pile of money into my Fj60.

Looking for good lift recommendations.

Welcome to the new Tundra on the forum!!

We have many options for you to check out. Dobinsons has the most options that we offer for a full lift with proper rated coils and leaf springs as well as 3 different shock options for front and rear.

Here's a link for you to see them all: Full Suspension Kits - Tundra 2nd Gen Archives - Exit Offroad - https://exitoffroad.com/product-category/toyota/tundra/tundra-2nd-gen/full-kits-tundra-2nd-gen/

Welcome to the forum.

There's a billion lift options. Any idea what type of budget you're looking for?

I have a mostly stock crewmax that I recently swapped Fox 2.0 C-Clip on and I've been really happy with the ride quality. I have more info here: Swap Front Coils W/out Spring Compressor? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/swap-front-coils-w-out-spring-compressor.1331481/

That truck already has a lift. Unless I'm mistaken but it sure sits high in my opinion??

Yes, it has a coil spacer lift (OP called it a “block” lift) .

Welcome to the T/S section Joe. What are your plans for the Tundra? I honestly wouldn’t waste my cash on changing out the coil spacer lift unless you plan on desert racing or crawling with the truck. Are coil spacers ideal? No. Are they perfectly fine and safe for DD or weekend camping duty? Absolutely. Buy some nice wheels/tires that fit the current lift and put your lift cash into the 60. This is based on me thinking you will use the 60 for camping or “overland” ( might as well add the word extreme to make that sound worse) travel?

The 3” “block lift” seems to be maxing out my ball joints creating some toe in on the front tires.

My plans are wheels (when these tires wear) maybe Method fake bead locks or SCS and tint. That’s it. I’ve got my eye out for a camper which is the main reason I bought this. Besides always wanting one. I just got some Shear Comfort seat covers I’m gonna put in and ordered some OEM floor mats since it didn’t come with any.

Tomorrow it’s heading into the dealer for the 120k mile service, new, CV boots, and the infamous intake, manifold, coolant leak. Hopefully afterwards I’m good for another 120 thousand miles.

Yeah, 3” for strut spacers is a bit much. I have Methods on my Sequoia. They seem to be good wheels. They see a LOT of rough dirt use and no dings or dents after years of abuse.


Oh, and your 60 is freaking awesome!

We have something else in common! I bought mine in Feb/24. But sadly sold the FJ60.
