I checked it out here:

4" 07-09 Toyota Tundra X-Factor Suspension lift Kit - Top Gun Customz

The pictured trucks look good without a massive dropped crossmember like you have with a 6" kit, but I am curious how much they drop the front diff enough to ease up on driveline angles, and how they go about it without cutting/permanent mods. They claim the truck can easily be returned to stock, as with other leveling kits. Seems kind of pricey, but it does come with new upper control arms. Pretty much looks like a leveling kit plus upper control arms and ball joints.

It includes shackles for the rear lift, but this link is a little vague, not indicating how much the rear is lifted. The trucks in the pictures appear to be a little nose-high IMHO. My '09 is lifted 1.5" in the rear, and I was able to use the OEM rear shocks, but I feel they are actually too short and will definitely limit articulation. If the shackles lift the rear more than 1.5" new shocks would be required.

yes i have the same concerns.i'd be nice to hear some feedback for someone whos used the kit. I definetly agree you'd need to change rear shocks, but they dont mention that at all. Ive heard you need to change them with 2" or more in the rear.

Found this.

thanks for the help!! you saved me a huge headach!! i'd say best way to go is either the truxxx or the low range kit...it should be okay to put 1.5" blocks in the beack with it, i think?? a friend was saying i should definetly change the shocks in the back when i do the kit...can anyone recomend the best shock to use? closest feel to stock ride would be nice

go with the truxx i got 3" in the front, my buddy still has his tundra in stock ride so i measured the other day & i still get 3" on him
