    I am so happy with this lift kit. When I picked up my truck, I had two surprises: 1) they didn't mess with my fog lights and 2) they only charged me $1038.74 for installation!! In case anyone is curious, I'm posting a few before/after pics with measurements. The before/after measurements are with the same tire (Toyo OC AT3, LT 275/65/20). As many people have stated before, I think the truck drives/rides much better than stock.

    How is the ride quality. A dealership has a hybrid 1794 for $7k off and said they would install this for $3k total. Bringing my OTD on it at $65k. Almost too hard to pass up lol

    Nice looking truck. I have a 23 Supersonic Red 1794 with TRD OR and thinking about doing same as you. Saw the install price you listed. Do you mind me asking if you used original Toyota lift kit and cost for kit? Your truck looks great.

    What’s deal with fog lights? Does this kit mess with them?

    I think it’s for regulation purposes and lifted trucks. Most of the dealers just unplug the fog lights.

    Well the lift itself is a 3inch lift. What tires and rims you want to put on, that’s your decision.

    But let’s just assume you want to use your current tires/wheels. It would just be 3 inches higher. You can measure from the top of the shark fin antenna to the bottom of your garage door (in the open positron)to see if it fits.

    I purchased the kit from Sparks parts online. I think it was around $2600 delivered to my door. My dealer was going to price match the kit but didn't know how long it would take for the kit to come in. I ordered my kit from sparks parts on a monday and it was delivered on Friday the same week.

    You happy with the 275s? I was going to do that, but worried they might be a tad too small, so I went with 285s. Not a huge difference, so I am sure yours are good. The picture looks great.

    edit: $1k for install is a killer deal. Very cool.

    I'm happy with the 275s. My last Tundra had 285s with aftermarket wheels. From the front/rear view, the wider tire looked awesome. This time, I wanted to stay around 34inches to make sure the truck would still fit in my garage once the lift was installed. I wasn't looking to put giant tires on my truck so overall, I'm happy with the 275s. Regarding the install, my dealer originally told me it was a 14hr job @ $105 per hour. This was their second install so maybe it didn't take as long. When they told me the price was $1038, I didn't question anything, just paid the bill and got the hell outta there!!!

    I sold my tundra so I can’t measure it. I’m possibly shopping a few deep discounted hybrids and if I go the 1794 I’d do the lift but otherwise if I did the platinum it would be AVS
