I have a 04 tundra srs 2 wheel drive (rear wheel). When I bought the truck about 7 months ago, the guy I bought it from, who is also my mechanic told me that it has a 3in lift.
As You can see the front is a lot lower then the rear. I want to try to put some height onto the front, to level it. But at the same time i want my truck to sit higher in general.
So can I add lifts onto each other?
And what should I be looking at to buy?
I want to stay under like $300 if thats even possible, if I have to go up in price a little bit more, i can. and i take my dirtbikes to and from races, so although i dont have 4 wheel drive, I do have to go offroad to get to these races, so i would like to gain more clearance in the front end.
Bilstein 5100's would be what fits your budget, and best suits your use of the truck. The truck doesn't seem lifted to me. Will need to see the suspension.
Ill try to take a suspension pic soon, But I agree, the truck dosnt seem lifted to me either. Thats what i said when I bought it. Ill have to check in with my mechanic.
Take a pic and I'll tell you exactly what is on it. I've had a few leveled gen ones with Bilstein 5100's or King/Icon coilovers set at 2.5" and they sat taller than that in front.
There are no pics of the top coil bucket, so I can't see if there are spacers on it, but by judging the gap from the lower control arm and bumpstop, I agree with dissipator. It looks stock, bro. Do Bilstein 5100's, you'll get lift and new shocks up front (from the pics, it looks like you're long overdue on shocks).
@acolytes ; Good to know, thank you for all your help. I'm gonna look into those Bilstein 5100's. Look forward to putting some height onto my truck. Thanks again.
No offense, but the best place to start is to read as many threads about suspension as you can. I was really confused at first, but a lot of reading helped me decide what was best for me.
There is definitely no lift on there, that's stock height. 5100's like said above. I would get a new mechanic to if the guy lied to you about a lift...
That's it.. Just make sure they are for your truck. I didn't see anywhere that mentioned fitment. Forum member Keith @dirtydeeds sell 5100's also. You may want to contact him to see what kind of deal he may be able to cut you. I heard the gen 2 5100's are scarce. I haven't heard any issues with the gen 1's. I think around $250 for the fronts is fair. You may want to price shop the labor. Pretty much any shop with a spring compressor can do the job. The rears are easy.
It looks like it'd give me +1" in the rear and +3" to level me in the front, so overall a +1" lift and level front. Which my understanding is the best I can do without buying a full on lift kit which I was avoiding because of $ and I thought my Bilsteins were great and an upgrade that I paid for!
Any recommendations? I'm mostly pavement, not doing crazy off roading (maybe light every once in a while) and will be pulling a light ski boat or jet ski trailer in the future.
I'm wanting to get a little bit of lift and then pull the trigger on after-market tires/wheels (whatever best fits) to give my truck a more aggressive stance/look. Some Nitto G2s that stick out a little. You know, nice and meaner
That's just spacers up front and rear blocks. I'd pass on it.
