@MTKID work to enable 200-series body lifts

NST Spec Body Lift Kit

Let’s get this party started… I’m starting this thread to discuss the options, share some installation tips and see how to get this out to you guys that have been asking for it. I installed a body lift on my 80 series, my 100 series and also my 200 series and feel it has it’s place along with...

What did you do for the restoration? My 15 is hurting with the headlights. So milky.

Just a $20 off-the-shelf Turtle Wax headlight kit will get them looking pretty clear, but they wont stay that way for long. This time I used the Turtle Wax kit and then treated with Opti-Coat Opti-Lens. We'll see if it holds up over time.

Post in the NST thread but never here. These are in normal mode and tires are just under 35"

Sensor lift + 1" body lift + tires does a lot to change the vehicle.

Yes they do. Makes the LX look smaller.

This was a pleasant surprise on my road trip home. True calculated MPG was 18.7. The 5.7 in the LX does much better at 80+ mph than my 100.

Snagged some Tundra Trail Edition rims on the way home. Hopefully the dark metallic gray looks good on black.

Drove through the woods and found a Rangers Military Base. Pretty neat

Rockin’ new 285/70R18 Yokohama G003 on my ‘15.

Finally got some rims and 295s. Looks pretty good in high mode so it might be time for a sensor lift too. Shout out to @tbisaacs for all the help.

Thanks man. I thought the LX looked pretty nerdy stock, but with different wheels and tires plus a smallish lift, it completely changes it. I'm pretty stoked.

Do you have any tire rubbing on the control arms with the +40 offset rims?

I don't think so, but I'll take a look. I think a tundra rim with a 1" spacer is like +35 so it didn't even occur to me that it would be an issue.

Edit: Looks like I have about 1.5" of clearance

Cool stuff(ed)

New wheels, maybe for winter? Enkei st6 in 20” and sadly now discontinued from what I hear

You're probably okay. But heads up there's a chance it can still touch and could be a watch item. The tightest clearance against the UCA is full compression with steering lock. My 35x12.5 at +35mm looked similar yet will get into the UCA on compression.

Thanks for the tip. I checked closer and there are indeed witness marks of rub. Seems to happen with larger compression and limits of steering input, so in low speed maneuvering. It's almost on the underside of the UCAs. I'll keep an eye on it and see how significant it is, and may go up to a 1.25" spacer if it's worthwhile to address. Sounds like you also went with aftermarket UCAs that may give more clearance?

This is also a good place to note that the Toyo AT3s are a middling aggressiveness, yet tidy tire. There are definitely more aggressive 35x12.5 tires out there with higher profile tread which may create more fitment issues.

Thanks for the heads up!
