    I apologize if there is a 2.5 Gen thread on the Westcott lift, but i was unable to find one that answered all of my questions. So hopefully ill be able to help someone else a bit! Ive been posting in the "what have you done to your 2.5 today" but i thought this may help in the forum search.

    Jumped on the Westcott train this weekend! I've heard great things about their products and their customer service reps answer the phone every time. It's been a while since I've had time to play with the old Tundra. I've had 5100's on the middle setting for about a year and have loved them. I will be using the full 3-1 lift option for the Westcott. They say no BMC and no UCA (I will see what the alignment guys say and will possibly order a UCA depending) Per Westcott, i installed the driver's side 5100 clip on the second setting in order to compensate for driver's side lean. The passenger was set on the bottom. Everything measures evenly

    Also installed Daystar cradles for the airbags that I've had for quite some time as well. Toyo Open Country AT3 295/70r18's are going on Friday when she goes in for an alignment. Bilstein 5160 rears to come soon as well mostly because I can't find 5100 rears anywhere.


    Now that new tires are on! 295/70r18 on +25 methods. I tried to use the heat gun method and on while doing off-camber reverse turns still had fender liner rubbing. I didn’t want the funny line of a bumper shim so I compromised. I removed a small portion but left enough to protect the back of the fog light assembly. Now it is nowhere near anything. I attached some pictures to help answer the most common tundra questions :D

    I cant say enough about the product so far. Easy install and great customer service. The ride quality and handling is just as smooth if not more composed.
