    2017 Tundra 4X4 Going from a 6 Inch RCX lift kit to a 4.5 BDS Coil Over Kit. Need Factory OEM Diff mounts for the BDS kit. Anyone do a lift kit recently that has OEM mounts and hardware. I'm happy to buy them from you.

    Thanks!

    Sounds like you're asking for the crossmembers that are cut out (and usually thrown away) in order to make room for the drop brackets on 6"+ lift kits. If you found one it would need to be welded back on - might have to remove the engine (not sure) in order to weld the top part of the crossmember. The other problem is that the crossmember you do find may not be the right length you need (too short) and you would need to add more metal to it, which if you do, then might as well just go with a custom crossmember.

    Edit: Once your diff is at the stock level, regardless of the type of crossmember used, you can then swap out the knuckles to go back to stock form and proceed with the new lift kit installation.

    No don't need cross members...need differential mounts for the factory differential. RCX uses their own diff mounts. BDS 4.5 kit uses factory diff mounts.

    So I have the bottom two mounts. I don't have the bolt that mounts to the crossmember though. If you have a friend with a Tundra you could remove the crossmember bolt, one at a time, to measure it and then order replacements online - don't have to buy through Toyota. If you still want these PM me your address and I'll ship it to you - free - doesn't cost me anything to ship.

    I need the same bolts since I'm removing the leveling kit and Front Diff drop rubber bushings & bolts from my 2007 DC. Anybody else happen to have the two vertical bolts, or know their part number so I can order them online? It would save me from going to the dealer.
