You do not mention torque specs. To me it seems to be an important part of an install. Especially when tightening anywhere a bushing is involved and on top of the puck.
I have 35x11.50R20 (Nitto G2’s) on my 2014 Tundra. It has a 3”/1” leveling kit. I had to trim about 1” triangle off my front skid plate- other than that absolutely no rubbing no matter which way I turn on any terrain. There are times where I have less than 1/4” clearance but it clears!
2 questions. What ur offset? And If I have 1/2 inch spacers on the front bumper. Would that prevent the front from rubbing if I were to put 35s, u think? Obviously the skid plate I would also have to deal with.
@@j-cubtv3018 completely depends on your tire width (and I bet rim width would matter also with as tight of clearances as I have). How wide do you run or want to run?
Also too, a wheel alignment is recommended due to the lower cam bolts being loosened or removed. Headlights may need adjusting because the lift changes the angle.
If it isn't said below, on any rubber bushings you will want to tighten stuff down with the suspension compressed as to not put unnecessary twist on the bushings if its all tight off the ground and you set the truck down, it will twist the bushings and wont last as long.
295/70/18 tires. (34.5" tall 11.50 wide) fit with no modifications. I was misled for a while thinking I would have to do bmc and plastic trimming but they don't rub at all with my stock wheel.
Just curious, is there any reason that some cats have a 3 inch front and 1 inch rear level? This seems very practical and something I would like to do but I’m not sure if there’s a reason to lift the rear one additional inch.
I was interested in getting s kit for my truck I was looking at the mammoth and supreme suspension brands. I've read reviews where people say that the top strup cap has to be rotated slightly. Is that true or are both these kids both direct bolt ons.
For anyone watching from the North East, if your truck is anything older than 5 years in the rust belt, this job can be a nightmare. I suggest WD40 on every bolt/nut before even taking anything apart. Mines a 2016 and I spent over 6hrs doing this, and mainly because the lower control arms were stiff and every bolt seemed like it was ready to snap because of corrosion in the threads.
I tow a 6500lb travel trailer 4-6 times a year. Will the spacers cause a problem when towing that much weight. 800lb tongue weight and a Equilizer weight displacement/anti-sway hitch installed
You could always bring the rear up an inch with a small block under the leaf spring. They're relatively affordable and pretty easy to do if you have some squat that you want to adjust!

Hi Adam well done. Question will this mess up my factor front end alignment? Do I need to get an alignment after adding kit? Last question would you go with 3 or 2.5 lift I have airbags on rear-- I have pop camper on bed around 1000 lbs. I only use it for weakend Backcountry dirt roads in high country-- thanks Wyoming Guy

Hey I'm very interested in this same set up
Hey with the 3 inch leveling kit did u gave to change other things? And did it still ride smoothly like factory?
You failed to show that you will need to twist the lower strut eye link to line up with the lower A arm.
11:50 Looks like crossthreading in progress.
oh shit good catch ahahaha

Did you have to get aftermarket uca’s?
@@SBG_ARMS no but it is DANG close!! About 3/4” clearance at the closest part.
@@j-cubtv3018 completely depends on your tire width (and I bet rim width would matter also with as tight of clearances as I have). How wide do you run or want to run?
I feel like the front looks a bit higher than the rear 🤔
You can go to 34” or a 295-60-20 with a 3” level
hi, quick question if anyone still watching, for this 3" strut lift do you need to add diff drop spacer? thank guys
Do none of bolts need to torqued to spec?
What are torque specs?
I would have liked to see a before and after photo to compare the 2. Thank you
Do this kit fits 2021 trd pro ? Tks
Also too, a wheel alignment is recommended due to the lower cam bolts being loosened or removed. Headlights may need adjusting because the lift changes the angle.
Absolutely right! -Zach
is it necessary to add any additional suspension parts to keep parts properly angled? Maybe a deferential spacer kit?
So with 07 and newer i dont need a spring compressor to do this? I have a 2013

Do you have any pics anywhere I can see? I was thinking of doing the same.
Do u need a different drop kit with a 3 inch leveling kit or is it safe without it?

How does it ride? Any stiffer ride?
What about the wheel alignment cam on the lower control arm ?? That has to be put back in the same rotation position
You can do 35” on 3” little trimming and BMC body mount weld on kit and front bumper trim super ease BMC is only if you want no rubbing at full turn
I just put 33s 275 70 r 18 on my stock rims with no lift or body chop they fit with no rubbing
That’s basically the stock tire size.
@mikehughes8023 same width 2in taller
How do you line the lca back up? Killing me
I was interested in getting s kit for my truck I was looking at the mammoth and supreme suspension brands. I've read reviews where people say that the top strup cap has to be rotated slightly. Is that true or are both these kids both direct bolt ons.
No this is true. Or rotate strut at the bottom through the bolt hole.
is this bad if towing heavy? i have rear leveling airbags to level the truck when towing but worried about the front kit taking the weight.
That godam shock bottom can't align at is place and can't be turn what rhe heck.
R the tires on the truck 275/65/18? And after the leveling kit on stock wheels how big can I go 275/70/18? Or 285/75/18? What do I recommend?

Best video ever, thanks!
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Would you need aftermarket uca’s after it would be ok?
They're not required but it would be beneficial to add them to help with drivability.
You can do 35s with a leveling kit with a positive offset wheel. I had 35x1250R18 with a warlord named wheel. With a 2.5 inch
U only have a 2.5 inch lift?? I have 20x9 wheels with +22 offset. U think I can get away with 35s? I also have a 1/2 inc spacer for the front bumper.
You have any pics of that bad boy?? I’m trying to decide what to do right now. 2.5 sounds perfect
I tow a 6500lb travel trailer 4-6 times a year. Will the spacers cause a problem when towing that much weight. 800lb tongue weight and a Equilizer weight displacement/anti-sway hitch installed
what did you decide? i tow 10k lbs at about 900 lbs tongue, but i do have leveling airbags in the rear...
@@Evan721sxm I am going with the Firestone Air Lift bags and leaving everything else stock.
@@Dano-MX5 nice thats what i have. It does raise the rear a bit if you leave 5 psi in it though....
Make sure you get an alignment ASAP after installing, otherwise your tires will wear uneven after only a few hundred miles.
Absolutely! We always highly recommend an alignment after any sort of suspension modification. -Zach
@@ExtremeTerrainToyota Always, just not in this video :)
Didn't see you install the bump stop spacers. I'm installing 3' leveling spacer on my 19 tundra rwd. Do I still need the bump stop installed?
You can if you'd like however it isn't necessary/included in this kit!
excellent video, thanks for shairing.
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Hey would you recommend a front end alignment afterwards? Or not needed ?
Always! You want to get an alignment any time you modify your suspension with a lift kit or leveling kit. -Zach
I did a 3inch for the front and now the truck looks squatted in the rear.

I’d recommend levelling struts. Not these pucks. I have pucks for a year now and they are starting to squeak.
Is an alignment necessary after this installation?
Yes! An alignment is always needed after modifying your suspension. -Zach
What about the front sensor do u have to reset it too?.
Hi Adam well done. Question will this mess up my factor front end alignment? Do I need to get an alignment after adding kit?
Last question would you go with 3 or 2.5 lift I have airbags on rear-- I have pop camper on bed around 1000 lbs. I only use it for weakend Backcountry dirt roads in high country-- thanks Wyoming Guy
I have a 2019 tundra
This question is directed to from end lift- thanks
Front
The look with just the front leveling kit is not a good look. Rear needs another inch. Plus you lose so much practicality when towing.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! -Zach
Do you need to lift the back as well to be level or only front is fine?
Nope! Just lifting the front will level out the look of the truck. Thanks for watching! -Zach
Thanks man I was still insecure whether to lift just the font or the back as well 😅 but this help me out!!
@@josuemedina5902 it puts the front a tiny bit higher, but I’m waiting a few weeks to let it settle before considering rear blocks.
@@AudiSportFan1970 did your front settle enough to leave the rear alone?
@@jeremeywright No, I went with 1” rear blocks, looks perfect now. Fit 35’s no issues.
Have fun dealing w your front tire’s wearing on outside
That’s why you get an alignment after any suspension modification.
you can do 65" tires with a 36" lift kit. 😂
No, max is 5’
100 is too much lol $25 off ebay is best deal
Why would you even try to DIY this yourself on a daily driver or even a weekender? I would just buy a $1000 junk ride and experiment on it.
Bc some guys can actually do this no problem
