Just installed a 2.5" spacer kit and a Westin front light bar, one can check out the tech articles HERE

My Tundra with the lift-

 

hey, how does ur truck run with the spacer? can u tell the diff besides it being leveled? got anymore pics?

 

I think is everything is much the same with it. There is a clunk I hear every blue moon when going over a big bump, I need to look more into it before I can see it is caused by the pucks. Maybe my wife did something without me knowing? :pat:

 

Looks good, but what about your CV boots? Did you replace those?

Your right about the nose down look of newer vehicles, I parked my Tundra next to a 2nd Gen runner the other day, and the 4Runner had more ground clearance than my tundra, very sad, very very sad indeed .

 

No, I did nothing with the CV Boots. I was told I did not need to. Hopefully that's correct.

 

You won't need to if they are strong enough to hold, but the earlier versions (2002 and below) had problems with weak clamps and the boots tearing as a result.

 

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

 

Won't installing spacers cause the tow in-out / camber of the tires cause excessive tire wear? I just want to know just how safe it is because I want to do the same and finding intel on such a lift is so vast that I would rather just ask one of you. Does anyone know the cheapest and easiest way to lift a Tundra?

 

Daystar's are your best bet for a short lift, and you're right about the alignment issue, that's why your supposed to go get an alignment after installing the lift,

 

And the Daystars are safe? What all is involved? I just want the look. Should I choose a body lift instead? Thanks for the input.

 

Safe? All lift are generally safe, it's driving habit that makes aftermarket mods unsafe. The reason why I suggested Daystar is it seems to be the only one out there that is gives as close to original ride quality (slighty stiffer).

It's simply a matter of adding a spacer to the coil (if you're going for a short lift) and either add-a-leaf in the rear or blocks.

Oh forgot about this too, seems like a good product: Extreme Toys EZ-Lift

 

Nice of you to spend the time to reply. What about the body lift? I just want the looks? Would this be a better way to go?

 

It's all about personal preference to tell you the truth, not too many people I know like the look of a body lift, shows too much frame. I don't know of the body lifts for the Tundra but I know a couple of the suspension lifts. It's what you prefer to tell you the truth, myself, in the future I'm probably going to do a small lift in the front to level the truck out with spacers. Then slap a slighty bigger tire (p265/75R16) than stock (p265/70R16) and call it quits.

 

Looks good! Gotta get some beefy meats on there now!

 

I've read that you should replace the cv clamps with new stainless hose clamps to prevent tearing and leaks. I'm installing an 2" cornfed spacer this week. I'll let you guys know how it goes I'm gonna do the cv clamps and new brakes while I'm under there!!!

 

I like your idea Mohamed. I think leveling the truck is the best look and way to do it.
