    Does anyone have this lift installed? Looking to get some options about ride quality and stance? They are pretty expensive but it does seem like an extensive kit. Would love to see some pictures or some price quotes that you've received for installs. Any info would help!

    I came from a Tacoma with Bilstein 6112/5160 and it drove very stiff for me.
    My goal with my 23' Tundra is to get a lift that drives as close as possible to the stock ride. I plan on keeping the 20" TRD OF black wheels with 35x12.50 tires.

    There is a ton of posts about lifts and tires here, on the suspension thread. Biggest thing I've seen people regret by reading through them is putting on heavy tires, if you're not going to be doing a lot of serious off roading. E rated tires weigh a lot more, and people speak of feeling that in the drive and with gas mileage. Your lower weight 35" tires are going to be around 48 lbs, and others can weight closer to 75, which is a lot for tires. But the lighter the tire, the less protection when off roading.

    Eurodriver is a living legend to show us what our truck can do.

    Mine truck is pretty dirty too, had a bird dropping on it the other day for almost the entire day before I wiped it with a QD and a clean microfiber towel

    Makes sense, I definitely am not going to be doing any crazy trails. Mainly just washboard roads and the occasional campground with the family.. I'm going to be doing a 35x12.5 C rated tire, I don't need the tougher tire.. Do you have any opinions on a tire brand for these Tundras? I was running K02 on my tacoma and it definitely felt heavy, but the Tacoma is notorious for bad gearing. Was considering running Wildpeaks on my Tundra when I lift it.

    That's the exact information that I needed!! I'm in the same boat as you, always been a K02 fan and they've never let me down. But I'm looking into other options, I didn't really look at weight on them yet, but the fact that they're lighter is definitely an upside for me.. I'm hoping going a C-load with a 35 wouldn't add TOO MUCH weight..

    I apologize in advance, as this doesn't strictly fall under this category, but I did spend about 2 hours looking for any relevant postings that answer my question, but haven't been able to find anything.

    I have a friend that has a TRD Pro Suspension for sale. It's just the Fox shocks and TRD CV axles, that he took off when the truck was brand new. It also has the longer brake hoses and ball joint mounts for the spindles.

    I've got a stock 2022 Limited with the black axles, with no suspension lift.

    I'm trying to figure out what this portion of the lift would gain me. I do realize the Fox shocks are a huge upgrade, and that the red axles with TRD CV's would be an upgrade for future suspension lifts, but does it gain me any lift/level in the front?

    finding a lighter or even ANY c load 35x12.5 I think will be harder than you think. I been trying like hell. I finally went 275/65/20 (34”) nitto recon which is 48 pounds and I’m still debating if it’s big enough for the trd lift, but I don’t want to go heavier. I made that mistake with my Tacoma

    @Tundra17944Ever should be able to chime in. He's got the Fox Set-up off a 2023 TRD Pro on his 1794.

    Dumb question, but is this 3" front 2" rear or is it 3" all around?

    Would this lift with a zero offset rim and 35 inch tires have any rubbing or needing to trim?
