Has anyone ever done a ZUK mod on a tundra

I have a 2000 tundra that I took the lift off of because I had an AAL and it rode like a dump truck. I have never seen or heard of anyone trying the ZUK on a tundra, is there any reason why It wouldn't work and if it would work what springs would be heavy enough to raise it some? :wabbit:

Have to ask why. Are you going for lift or load capacity?

A little bit of both but mostly I want the back to Match my spacers up front. I did one on my 86 runner and it helped with both. But my leafs were super saggy. My tundra leafs are fine

Funny, I am planning on doing a ZUK on my 2000 Tundra soon. I have the coils. Hopefully they will work. I bought some lightly used coils off an '08 Jeep Rubicon. I have both taller, front springs and shorter rear springs from the Jeep. Im going to try the shorter ones first. I cant see any reason why the ZUK won't work, but the only issue I can MAYBE see is the inverse shackles. Maybe....

Should work, but ride quality suffers whenever you increase load capacity. If you want lift and stock ride, it's either blocks or aftermarket springs like Alcans. Blocks obviously being the less desirable option.

If you do Zuk a Tundra, be sure to do a write up!

Are you doing it for lift or just for more load?
