Toyota Tundra Forum

Thanks for the info Tox. I'll have it by the 28th. I put the promo code "hero" in at fatbobsgarage and it shipped for 270.68. Actually saved more than the actual shipping for once.

Tox this did turn out to be a easy install, with your very greatful above post. I just need to get an alignment. I had use of a lift, which made it a 1.5hr install, front only. But of course new camera crapped out. After getting it swapped in the morning, I'll post a couple pics. The Truxx made it as close to level as you can get without the rear blocks. Although after checking the sag by hooking the boat up, I will install the rear blocks after getting the rear dif sep fixed.

Wally world came thru for the third time with a new camera. Seem to be having bad luck with sony. Anyway, heres pics of the measurements with the Truxx 3in spacers and differential 1in drop. If anyone wants any other measurements with this set up, just let me know. I think this is as close to level as has been seen.

That truck is lookn fine Tox! I will be doing the same lift and you may be right; I will try it without the rear block. The after pic of yours shows your front tire in a bit of a trench so it probably is more level than the pic shows. Good idea.

Thanks for the install pics!
Frag

Stride, nice looking truck. Did you use the 1" block for the rear. It looks pretty level and the measurement don't lie.

Frag I didn't do the blocks yet but, I will. I have the leak on the rear dif, so decided to wait until the warranty repair takes place to install. Can't give the dealer any opportunity to not fix it under warranty. I just wanted to let folks know that like a leveled truck, this would be a easy way to do away with the rake of the frontend. The ride didn't change any. Tox started a great thread here, I probably would've never bought the truxx kit if he hadn't done such a great job documenting and following up with the video, of which made the job easy.

Looks good SRTRIDE. Yeah, the THQ video looked a lot easier than the way I "winged" my install. Wish that video was available before I started mine. I added the video to the first post so people watch it before reading through my instructions.

The rear without the block looks great and looks level, but anything in the back makes the rear sag. A set of bags would be great to keep it level if you really want it to stay that way. Course that also means more cost.

Be sure to adjust your headlights. You are going to be blinding EVERYBODY on the road after you raise the front. And be aware that they are probably going to max out your Camber when trying to align the front end. Take the Truxxx specs with you if you go anywhere other than the dealership for an alignment.

Thanks tox, I hadn't thought about the headlights. Had it aligned yesterday by a fella thats been in biz for 18 yrs and ended up he's done alot of the tundras. I've had him do 5 or 6 in the past. 45bucks and told me after installing the blocks and snugging up everything on the front, to return for him to check it again at no charge. Its worth giving the locals business.

45 dollars is a really good price. They charge $70+ around here.
