Nice looking Tundra, DrBrown! I did almost the same build on my 2014 Crewmax Limited and it worked well and looked perfect. I used Ekstrom Coachbuilder +3 lift shackles for the rear, who also makes a set of front bumper shims to help clear the front tires on turns. I briefly ran wheel spacers too, but 20x9" aftermarket wheels with zero offset really made the truck look amazing, plus the slightly wider stance made the truck feel more stable than I expected and I then no longer needed wheel spacers. Bushwhacker paint-to-match, no-rivet fender flares brought back the flush look and gave it more of a factory-ish clean appearance.
Nice platinum, super clean!!!! I’ve got the Barcelona red platinum with a shell, six inch lift, fixing to install painted to match bushwackers, rock sliders, and overland high clearance bumpers front and back
Damn! Clean ass truck! I just got a ‘21 nightshade with a level kit on it and an ARE camper. I wanna put an actual suspension lift on it and remove the spacer lift. Your truck has given me some good motivation
I don’t see the leaf spring shackles listed in the parts list where do I find them ??? Thanks love the look of your truck that’s exactly what I’m going for!
I'm running the Toytec Boss (the old one) with their shackles, Total Chaos UCA'S, and Bora 1.25" spacers. I'm running 35/12.5's on the OEM SR5 18's, they rub the bumper plastic in reverse while turning, but not bad enough to modify. I have not chopped my body mount, but I have cut off the ears on the OEM skid plate that stick out past the sway bar. 2011 Crewmax
Could you tell me what brand are your rear shackles? I can’t find it in the description, notes or comments. I’d like to duplicate what you have done. Thank you in advance!
Thank you for taking the time to make the video, I’m going for oem+ look as well but got a 2” leveling lift on front and nothing on rear. I did get 1.25” spacers and so happy to see you running the same size spacers! With this said, do you think I can run 35 12.50 20 tires?
@@RockyTopSplash No I think 5100 only lift it 2.25” But the ride quality is day and night difference I did it to my ford and rode smoother than stock ima do it to my new to me tundra
I mean you can run stock upper control arms, I just wanted the most adjustability to make sure my tires didn’t wear funny. 35s are expensive man. Also a heavier tire, so I figured I should beef up the stock
I have a 35 foot camper that weighs 10,000 dry I’m probably 12,000 with everything I bring generator etc. do you think if I did this it would affect the way it tows because it pulls like an absolute animal right now. But if it will change it I won’t do it. I have a 2016 TRD with Bill Steins but there’s no lift just stock
@@floridalife7564 its not a cheap task but worth it if you end up doing it. Reason to install a Locker or LSD at the same time lol. I do recommend a DAP tune if you don't have it. Especially wo gears on 35s
I know the Bilstein 5160 can go up to 1.5" lift but since you have a 2-inch shackle, does that half inch effect and strained the shock from stretching half an inch or not at all?

@@matthewtomlinson7184 maybe not a full 1.25”, but I still wouldn’t feel comfortable with tire that close to UCA. If you stay with stock UCAs you would be fine to clear. However, I wouldn’t recommend the 3” lift in front, that you would need to clear 35s, without adjustable UCAs.
@@DbrownVision yeah i completely understand the necessity of the new UCAs. Have the 2-inch shackles caused any issues for you? I’ve read some mixed opinions on them. Do you prefer them over, say, 2-inch ICON rear shocks? What’s your thoughts on that?
@@matthewtomlinson7184 haven’t had any issues with shackles. I actually just re-purchased this whole shock/spring set up again, and it’s getting put on next week. 150k miles on that set up and it’s been great. I was about to replace with a whole icon set up, and really started digging and kept getting back to these bilsteins, because the bang for buck is just so great. I don’t think I use my truck offroad enough to use the icons (or kings or fox etc,) to its full potential. I remembered I was so pleased with these bilsteins that I had to make a video about them, and that reasoning sold me to buy another set after worn out.
Each 1/4" spacer should raise your truck 1/2". You should be at 3.5" total lift in the front. Beautiful truck, I just did all this to mine a few days ago. 295/70/18, though.
@@KurNorock I know you probably won’t see this but Incase someone else does. Your lower control arm compounds the amount of lift the spacer gives due to the angle and length. Manufactures vary but most will come out to a 2:1 ratio. Like mentioned above
Sound - not bad if you don’t mind road road noise. I don’t but a lot of my passengers get annoyed. Ride - not terrible considering what they are. I keep them rotated. I’ve put 25,000 miles on them and they’re at least half way
Leveling generally applies to making the front and rear if the truck level with each other, which can be achieved in many different ways as discussed in the video.
@@Nhoutdoor glad I tickled you enough to come back… shackles are adjustable. There is also airbags in rear (as shown) for adjustment of bed load is too heavy. Add a leafs are not adjustable for height, or ride quality… Next?

You look higher than a 3inch leveled out truck, I wonder if those 2 spacer gave you more than you think？
What brand rear shackles plz ? It’s not in the description
Where did you get the rear shackles?
That thing looks Great!!
Can I only install the front 3" ? I don't need the 2" in the rear or will this make it ride completely awful?
You can do just the front to level if that's ur case u would Wana go with Bilstein 5100s you don't need 6112s

Love the truck. What’s your fuel mileage after the lift and tires?
Looks Awesome!
Probably gonna be the most random question you’ve gotten but do you remember the brand of the rear shackles you have on here?
Do you have to re gear for 35s want my truck to look like this
I did not regear nor feel the need to. The mud grapplers were heavy, but no loss of power. 37s will require a regear
So I would need the spc upper control arms to run 35's? I already have the exact same bilstein set up.
I mean you can run stock upper control arms, I just wanted the most adjustability to make sure my tires didn’t wear funny. 35s are expensive man. Also a heavier tire, so I figured I should beef up the stock

Add some Firestone Airbags
What are your fender measurement from the ground on all 4 sides?
Omg so stunning beast💪💪💪❤❤❤
Would you still add shackle in back if you have air bags
Yes. Airbags are not for lifting the rear. Airbags are for leveling out the truck after its been loaded down. I have airbags installed on this truck
Are you running a rear CB drop and a front sway relocation bracket?
Nice truck !! Where can i buy those " shackles ?

@@Nathan-wn5mc yeah no problems with gears in these trucks. I would regear for 37s though.
