You should bookmark these links, I did. Why? So that when a new member such as yourself joins the forum with the same question as you just asked, and we've all asked it, including me, you can help them out the way we've helped you. Pay it forward brother. Most will be happy to help, some will tell you to use hockey pucks....

 

Diff drop for 1st gen is ok.

Diff drop for 2nd gen is a bad idea.

 

Oh, why do you say that? Anyone else have this opinion?

 

hahaha your the fuckin man! thank you!!!!

 

The answers you seek are in the thread I linked to.

 

I do.

 

I see what you did there, and HOLLY FUCK!!! Good thing my truck is a Street Queen but still, I think I'll get under there and take that thing out. Thanks for the heads up Wile!!

 

You're welcome, that's what we're here for. I'd like to say it's to help but it's to live vicariously through you as you spend your money. But really, you've stumbled on a site full of enthusiast who are happy to help.

Nice truck btw. I had a deposit on the exact truck in that colour but with a 6MT. Only reason I got the SR5 is because there is a $3K difference between the TRD Sport and SR5. Figured I would rather spend the 3K on a lift and cap rather then a scoop and painted bits. Not knocking the Sport, love the truck but I couldn't justify the cost difference. Now if the Sport had the mechanical goodies the OR has it would have been a different story. Before you say it, you can't get a TRD OR DCSB in Canada. The TRD OR only comes in AC here.

I'll PM you some links that I found handy.

 

no way thats so weird! i wonder why that is! i should of had the forsight you did! beause now i want a light and a cap. and i can do one or the othe other because i spent so much on the truck i dont want to cheap out on the lift thanks for all the support!

 

incredible awesome truck love the white! thank you for that condesned point of view i would have had to searhc hi and low in threads to get a take on lift under 3" like that thank u

 

Lift*

 

Where we at with your truck after this statement dude....??..haha

 

Don't cheap out on your lift, trust everyone here when they say if you do you'll regret it. I didn't have my truck long enough, less then a week, before I lifted it and did the tires so I can't 'really' tell you if there is any ride difference. The only thing I noticed was that the coils in the front made quite a difference in how the truck handled, in a good way. I ran the stock tires for a couple of days after I put the lift on and once I put the bigger tires on the steering became a little more....vague but that was because of the taller side wall. Much the same feeling as if you drive a car with stock tires (vague) vs low profile tires (more responsive)...less tire role. A couple of days driving though and I got used to it.

Don't bother with the search feature on the forum, like all other forums it doesn't work very well.

If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

 

Lifted on stock tires.

 

Thank you and you're welcome. I'm no different then anyone else here really, just an enthusiast who wants to help a fellow member make the right choices for his ride. Like I said, you stumbled on a really great forum, it's the best I've ever been on in nine years.

If I haven't said it already, welcome to the forum. If I find anything that might be of interest to you I'll PM you the link.

 

Not sure how the 6112 rides at stock height but the more preload you add the rougher it'll be.

Kings only come with a resi for 2nd gens

 

Just traded my 2011 TRD sport for 2015. I had 3" toytech lift kit with adjustable UCAs. Has anything changed as far as set up or same set up is good? Been out of the forum for while so any info is appreciated.

 

Sweet truck man. Even better flag too!

 

Out of curiosity why don't People recommend body lifts? You won't fuck up the suspension geometry and they aren't too expensive. Though they are more work.

 

Thank you. It was hard to let it go but new one will look just as good lol
