I've got a 2012 4x4 that sees about 80% street use. I've got Bilstein 5100's on there now, which are really nice, but good lord they're stiff. I sadly don't have a King or Fox budget, so these may be in my future! Thanks for the video!
Rough country N3 struts will lift you 2” give you a more level look and ride a heck of a lot nicer I don’t have them on I have an older design with adjustable settings. I just have it set to softest. Little body roll but not enough to cause me alarm.
Great looking truck. I have a 2019 TRD Pro, all stock, with the exception of the Go Rino running boards. Getting ready to put those same tires on it, but I'm going with 275/75/18's. Love the Fox suspension.
Did you have any issue with the passenger reservoir? Mine feels like there’s something in the way and I can’t mount it properly. Did you have to cut your fender liner?
I’m thinking about running this exact suspension and tire setup. The only difference would be tire size. How close are you to hitting the Body Mount? I have stock 285/55/20 (TSS package), and I wanna see if I could fit 285/65/20… Same width but different height. I’d need to run a small wheel spacer to clear the UCA. Any insight?
Any more height and or spacer will rub plastic and require trimming. Don’t think you’ll need a BMC at all, but definitely will be rubbing plastic for sure. It’s a sweet set up, you’ll love it!
@@jmltube41 alright, thanks man. I would probably just do a front bumper spacer up front. The back of my wheel well isn’t like yours- it’s kinda weird. I’ll have to have someone turn the wheel at different articulation heights to see how much room I really have back there. I doubt I’ll run the coilovers in the rear- could I just run normal RC shocks? Or even stock? I’d just be doing a 1 inch shackle.
@@texanerection492 i have this set up 285/65 20 i used to have the 275 65 u can still clear the controll arm with it or without a spacer as long as you have 3 inch lift on front
Check the tire weights out. Massive difference going from the 275to 285 in the recon grappler as it bumps you up to an E load. That’s why I’m leaning towards the 275. Just a heads up dependent upon your intended use.
Truck looks amazing…question, I have a 22 plat and have been looking for a black exhaust tip like the one I see on your truck, can you point me in the right direction, thanks
Thanks! The tip came stock on the Nightshade. It’s black gloss and has a Toyota emblem embossed on it. You may be able to ask Toyota Parts to try and look it up. Hope this helps!
Actually I wanted the more aggressive side out but the shop misunderstood and put the less aggressive side out… didn’t know till I picked it up. Haha all good though!
100% The ride is amazing and rightfully so since it is a brand new suspension system. The adjustability option puts it over the top in my opinion. Rivals anything Toyota is putting on their stock trucks from the factory, no matter the trim level.
@@jmltube41 I have the same but the passenger doesn’t clip in like the driver’s side. It only has these two round spikes underneath and the wife litterly has the mat underneath the dashboard. Lol
love the truck... wondering what mpg is at ... I got a set of billstiens 6112 ... wondering your personal opinion on fitting the 275 65r20 on a 1.9" level?
Thanks. I dropped about 2-3mpg depending on speed. City was not as noticeable, still shitty, but interstate 75+ it was noticeable. 13.8-15.8mpg at best with no load and 2 hour drive. With regard to your fitment, I’ve read some forums that say it will work with no issue with that setup... Good Luck!
@@samcoon6699 wondering is different than worrying... no one's worried. in case any one is wondering. 1.9" up front (leveled) with 27565r20 (Mickey Thompson, Baja boss AT on stock 20" wheels) yield between 12-15mpg on highway... at 5400-10,000ft elevation 6.5-9mpg with a 10k dump trailer... best ever of ~18mpg driving to airport with empty truck and no air conditioning
@@descendedmastery4217 I have a 2008 sequoia platinum that I lifted 2". I'm running the stock 20" wheels and looking for some 275/65/20 tires. How do you like those mickey Thompsons?
@@DSMownedU I got 5k miles on them... no rub, relatively quiet, even wear so far.. last had bfg at ... waiting on Colorado winter to see how they do... so far no complaints
I have a 21 tundra and noticed the same thing on your differential has like(sweating/oil leak) is it a normal think because dealer says it’s normal but just wondering cause I don’t think so
According to Toyota, it’s normal. I had a 2018 and it did the same thing as the ‘21. I took mine to the dealer and they sent pictures to Toyota to review and the manufacturer confirmed it’s normal.
Thank you so much my lifted 6” and was scared of paying out of pocket due to not validating the warranty I like your truck kinda making go back to leveled
@@jmltube41 Good to hear. It seems like Rough Country has stepped up in quality. A lot of people still saying to avoid it. I was wondering what someone with the lift actually on their truck had to say about it. Glad to hear you like it.
@howdythere2419 I've heard really great things about the Vertex kit. Supposedly designed by a couple guys who were at FOX until covid hit then went to RC.
Just installed these along with some 35” 22’s on my 2018 tundra and absolutely love them!
Awesome! Congrats!

Haha thanks!

MAN THAT IS CLEAN!!!!!
Thank you!!!! Appreciate that!
Clean
I don't think you need to do any trimming with the 3.5" lift kit. I put 33s on mine and there is no rubbing.
Great looking truck! Did you lose any turning radius with this kit?
@@EricMorgan-q8y thank you! Not sure, it didn’t seem like it but you know these don’t have the best turning radius to begin with.
@@jmltube41 Thank you!
Did you have any issue with the passenger reservoir? Mine feels like there’s something in the way and I can’t mount it properly. Did you have to cut your fender liner?
I had mine installed by a local truck shop. They didn’t say if there were any issues or trimming but it’s possible.
That thing begs for 285 65 r20s

Your truck looks great. I have 2021 Limited too. Do you mind to share a link to your lift set up? Thanks
Looks like RC doesn’t carry the same lift for the ‘21 anymore on their website. They have them for the ‘22-‘23 though.
Nice work

Did you try the other side wall design out or just not a fan of it?
Actually I wanted the more aggressive side out but the shop misunderstood and put the less aggressive side out… didn’t know till I picked it up. Haha all good though!
How does it ride??? Better an stock? I have a 2021 TRD Sport
100% The ride is amazing and rightfully so since it is a brand new suspension system. The adjustability option puts it over the top in my opinion. Rivals anything Toyota is putting on their stock trucks from the factory, no matter the trim level.
@@jmltube41 The Fox suspension on the TRD Pro is far superior to anything that Rough Country puts out.
Do you have the link to the kit you bought from r.c.?
Do you think these tires would rub without doing the lift?
I’ve heard some say they fit fine without the lift. I think it would be fine.
My is 2017 , but I don't want to cut or lift . What's the biggest size tire I can put..???
Hubieras puesto el lado más agresivo para afuera no para adentro es mi opinión para que se sacaras el máximo look
Great looking truck. What kind of floor mats are you running?
Weather Tech Floor Liner HP, front and rear… They are awesome!

You don't get a truck like the tundra, run tires like those or a suspension like that to worry about MPG.
Get a Prius if you want MPG.

None. Truck sits level all around..!

100% loving it..! No regrets and rides like it was just put on, nice and tight.
