Need some help kids (Lifting a Tundra) (1 Viewer)

[retrofive]

My good friend from HS picked up a 2011 Tundra. He is currently living in Bend but moving back down here in May.

He wants to lift it about 2-3" to put some 35" under it (no bro-ho lift, just enough to fit). There seems to be a brazillion options for lift kits for these Tundra/Sequoia's. He also has 17' travel trailer, light but airbags??

Thoughts on what to help recommend?

Make sure its something that doesn't make the rack and pinion harder to access.
Afaik these lifts are basically the same as any 96+ strut front. So trust reputable parts.

I guess that is my question. Something like this??

In my brief reading sounds like you need to do some quick notching or cutting to get the 35"'s under there or some wheels with different backspacing despite the lift.

Nah, OJ. I met Ryan in 2004, OJ in like 1994. But Ryan still has his quad cab Taco.

@mr jits is running 35's on his Tundra and it looks perfect. Nice and low. Maybe he will chime in on what he did.

I think the wife's is running a 3/2 leveling lift (https://www.amazon.com/Readylift-69-5276-ReadyLift-Lift-Kit/dp/B00IOYRFO8/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1521499377&vehicle=2016-76-1033-13-130--6----8-1--299-7-0&sr=1-2&ymm=2016:toyota:tundra&keywords=readylift&dpID=51ehSXjOy9L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch). I can't remember the bs of the wheels on her truck (level 8's), but the factory wheels have too much back spacing for the tires. There's a picture of it in the photo thread.
You will need to trim the stock skid plate, but it wasn't much.

The only thing I'm going to add is some upper control arms (total chaos, etc.) as the front is maxed out in adjustment to get to an acceptable alignment (camber).
