3" Toytec installed - TundraTalk.net

Fastfresh · 06-16-2008, 10:30 PM

I've been reading everybody's input on lifts, then decided to go with Toytec. I did the Toytec 3" with the add a leaf and the 1" lift block too. I needed the extra lift, sitting level will only put me nose high when loaded. I'll be putting some 285 65 18 BFGs this week. I'm going to try to attach some pics too.

I'm just curious as to what you load up to make your front end sit a little high? This new Tundra has quite a nasty set of leaf springs and it will take quite a load to make it look that bad. I thought you got a Toytec level kit then you added a leaf and a block.

Hmmmmm

I believe he got the second kit down Tundra Shopping Cart for Toyteclfts.com

I farm tropical fruits and oriental vegs here in Homestead,Fl. I got this tundra to save $$$ on my fuel cost. My other truck is a F 350 powerstroke and all the work that I usually did with that I now mostly do with this Tundra, and by the way this Tundra has been doing better than excellent. Any ways I always pick up a ton of fertalizer at a time, 40 bags @ 50lbs per bag. Then I pull some equipment on a 20ft. flat bed trailer, the trailer alone even when empty puts the rear of the truck down.
I think that this add a leaf along with the block is really going to do the job.

The toytec 3" lift came with the add a leaf that bumps the rear 1.5" then I did the 1" block to put it 1" higher than level

Would love to see the pics when you put on the new tires.

Fastfresh · 06-25-2008, 12:45 PM

Here's a pic with 2500 lbs.

You need air bags

DrLivingston1980 · 06-25-2008, 02:19 PM

Isn't the bed only rated to hold up to 1600lbs? I know there is always a little give in the factory's specs for safety reasons but I don't know if I would put 2500lbs in there. More power to ya though for doing it.

kit · 06-25-2008, 02:35 PM

Yeah man, that's 1000lbs over the wieght limit. I wouldn't do it to mine, be careful. Check your chassis/frame from time to time if you always carry loads like that.

adazzleman · 06-25-2008, 04:28 PM

I would probably put it on something and pull it behind you. I don't think I have ever seen a Tundra bed that far down...lol

ramoine · 06-26-2008, 09:45 AM

Wow , that looks overloaded to be sure . I'd trailer that load .

Fastfresh · 06-26-2008, 09:56 AM

Here's a pic with a trailer, this was before the lift kit was installed.

Fastfresh · 06-26-2008, 10:02 AM

Notice how the bob cat is over the axles of the trailer.
