LX570 Tundra Suspension conversion. (1 Viewer)

[MILOWILLI]

Finally got the Tundra Suspension ready for installation on the LX to increase the wheel trac and travel. Will be using stock Tundra Lower arms, CV axles, tie rod ends and JBA HD Tundra UCAs . The sensor lift will be installed on front of UCA.
Awaiting custom spring seats for higher rate springs for bumper and winch.

Will be following this closely to see how hard it would be to replicate on my 2018.

Won’t be hard at all. The rim backspacing is crucial to avoid the tire hitting the fender. The Tundra 17in Rock Warrior wheels are just right.
JBA modified a Tundra UCA for my application. I just have to instal the sensor brackets. By the way 2018s look lovely with Winch bumpers.. makes the huge grill smaller!! Lol.

Awesome. Who are you sourcing the springs from? Did they share what the factory spring rate was? What are they building the new ones to?

IIRC, I also used a Tundra sway bar link on the passenger side as it has a bit of an angle.

What's the track increase per side? 1"?

 

[MILOWILLI]

About 230 lbs I’m going to fit 350lb King Springs. The lower spring mount had to be trimmed off and a special seat made for top and bottom. That’s my next project. The bumper and winch will be about 200lbs on the nose.

Looks like 2in. Will check when I strip. The CV axles are much longer.

Looks like about just over an inch longer on the tie rod ends.

Has anyone measured to see exactly how much additional travel you get out of the swap on an LX?

 

[MILOWILLI]

I will measure everything on the swap.

If you're curious about this swap, I already did this on my LX.

Thanks. Guess I missed that. I’ll check it out.

You didn’t keep AHC though right?

I did originally.
