2020 Tundra Lift kit help!

So I’m looking at getting a lift kit and have a few questions. I don’t plan to really go off roading but want the cool off road look:
* Ready-Lift 6” lift with Bilstein Shocks
* Fuel 20” x10 wheels
* 37x12.50R20 Toyo Open Country A/T III

My questions are:
1) they use factory spring and use blocks and all I read is to get OME spring?
2) if I use my factory 20” rims one place said use spacers and another said never use spacers as it’s bad for the nuckles and wheels can fall off.
3) Read Coilovers are best but someone said the only kit that has this was a 7” lift with Fox accessories.

just looking for advise on all of this. I’ve been shopping around and reading posts on here.

 

Most high lifts like that, bracket lifts, will not use stock offset wheels. Check Readylift for their requirements.

You need new wheels, dont use spacers running tires as heavy as 37s. Thats a lot of weight and leverage on 1.5 to 2 inch spacers. Scary.

Also factor in cost to regear the truck, you will need it with 37inch tires.

Consider lifts in the 2.5 inch range, you can still run a 35, fit will be much easier, costs much less, better performance and less stress on the truck and at that height, you can still use your truck as a truck.

 

As an offroader when I see a vehicle with more than 3-4” lift and 20” rims I know it’s not an offroader haha, unless it’s a mud truck. The whole point is only lifting enough to fit the biggest tires possible to increase ground clearance under the pumpkin. Otherwise that’s a parking lot princess by design. A stock 2020 can run 35s with no lift, 2-3” quality lift you can run 37s but like frichco said it’ll lead to alot of follow on issues/extra money. Also the ride and resale with a known 2-3” lift maker (OME, Fox, Bilstein, etc) will be much better.

 

I have the 8” Ready Lift with 5100 Bilsteins all around. Running 37x13.50 R18 Toyo MT’s, I changed the wheels with the lift. Didn’t keep the stock ones. You don’t need to regear, my truck runs great. However, I did do a BMC for better clearance of my tires.

Okay, with your recommendation I’m looking at getting a leveling kit or some people reference it as a 2-3” lift in the front. The plan is to install the 6112 Bilstein Suspension kit for the front which leaves the rear the same height and will replace the rear shocks for the Bilstein 5100! So aligned, mounted and balance of the tires = $1,900.00 out the door.

Questions:
1) Is this a good deal for $1,900 without the tires? I’ve already bought the tires, BF Goodrich KO3 295/65r20s so just paying for kit and rear shocks.

2) Do I need shackles? Someone else added +3 Coachbuilder shackles and the guy said not need but can add?

3) Control arms - he also said not need for this?

6112/5160 with a CB shackle to get the desired rake

 

So you say get the 5160 instead of the 5100s and to get the CB Shackle. I read the 5160s are really better if you plan to take off roading. If not the 5100s should be fine. And you think I need the CB shackles?

 

Anything above 2” added to the front and nothing added to the back will sit nose high (Carolina squat). A crewmax looks nose high from some angles even at level (2” raised front), Double Cabs don’t seem to look as nose high even with the same set up.

so you will want to add an inch in the rear if you want to keep any rake or “level-ness” which the 5100s can handle 1-1.5” of lift (likewise with the 5160s)

 

With 37s that's just not true. You may not perceive it, but it's running at a different ratio and regearing would be of great benefit. Your subjective preference doesn't change the fact that regearing with 35+ inch tires is a good idea to reduce stress and improve/restore performance.
