I have a 2014 tundra 4WD. I was planning on getting the BDS 7in lift but then i found the 7in procomp and its about 500$ cheaper.
My question is if anybody has the 7in ProComp on their tundra and if there were any issue's.
It looks like the BDS might be a better lift but theyre both using spacers for the front. so price wise it seems like i might aswell go with the Procomp. I dont want to skimp on my lift but if theyre both spacer's in the front i dont see why i shouldnt go with the cheaper lift.
Anybody's input on this would be greatly appreciated.
They are both good brands.. Both well established.. The only differences that I can see are that pro comp uses a spacer that goes on top of the factory spring/shock setup.. BDS uses a spacer that goes on the bottom.. Which one is better? Im sure you will get arguments on both sides..
The other difference I see is the BDS kit comes with replacement tie rod ends..
$500 would definitely be enough to sway me in this situation..
I have the ProComp 7" on my 2014. No issues with the lift on the truck. However, after some reading here and a couple messages with Coachbuilder, I am replacing the PC carrier drop spacers with larger ones from Coachbuilder. Once I make the time to get some measurements I will most likely put on longer shackles also from Coachbuilder to get rid of a bit of squat in the rear ride height.
I have the 7" Pro Comp and have no issues, 37x12.50x20 tires do rub at hard turn.
Measurements ground to edge of fender with no passengers:
Front 46 1/4"
Back 45 3/4"
I am considering replacing the front and rear shocks with 58651 - 2007 - Current Tundra 6" - 7" Lift Adjustable Front Coil-over Shock Kit and 57721 - 2007 - Current Tundra 2.5" Piggy Back Reservoir 4-6" Lift Rear Shock.
I have the PC 6" Stage 1 and initially had no issues with the kit. Components are well built and stout however the issue I had was with tire wear, dragging on turns.
The problem with it and any other bracket lift system that uses aftermarket or in this case, shorter tie rod ends changes the steering geometry to the point that tires outside edges wear extremely fast and drag.
Due to this, I had to look around for an alternate 6" kit which retains the factory tie rod ends and adopt it's knuckle.
You just needed an alignment tech who knew what he was doing. you have to have your toe/camber/ and caster all in the ideal numbers to have perfect tire wear. also if you go with really big tires sometimes you will get a little funny wear but not much.
Caster- will help with the steering wheel returning to center after a turn.
Camber- will help with wandering if they're uneven, an can wear your tire if its too far off.
Toe- is your main tire wearing angle but with bigger tires you also need to take into account theyre going to want to pull out from the truck while going down a road, so you'll want it toe'd in a hair. plus your right side a hair more than the left because of road crown so itll track straight down the road. an I mean a hair. like .2 of a degree depending on your spec's.
