Toyota TRD OEM lift kit

Correct, the TSS sensor was only on 2018+

 

okay cool. just placed my order finally

 

Unless your really hungry, then it’s a few more calories

 

Man that is tempting.... are there height options? I’m really only looking for 1”-2” of lift but want to keep stock rake.

 

Yes. Research or Google “Bilstein 5100”. 1-3” for most applications.

 

Been contemplating the 6112/5160 setup for a while, but it’s a smidge pricey. I know many have determined this is likely a rebadged 5100, does that mean it has the same adjustment settings?

 

What does the front camera view look like out of the grille that comes with these; is it still slightly offset on the birds eye function (as with installing a regular 2020+ Pro grille) or do they fix the alignment of the picture?

 

I didn’t have the oem camera but I have an anytime setup. I ended up with a different style camera to fit the cube of the heritage grill. It doesn’t fit perfectly and I haven’t quite gotten it angled where I want it (pretty much as an angle so I see in the blind spot, not down the road). I look around and see some OR grills and think about putting mine back on, but my new one had actually been recalibrated, so fuck that. In the end I don’t really use the camera anyways, today while I was out on a trail I had half the trail ina shadow and the other half sun drenched. It looked like shit on the camera, and I realized I know where my tires are going... mostly.

 

I think without it it’s just a hole then... but none the less overpriced and not really needed. Garnish

 

there are 3 notches vs the normal 5. The notches are 1/4” apart, so it should be 1”, 1.5” and 2” with stock springs

 

Got a little bit of rake back. Sits 3/4” higher in the back now, exactly what I wanted. Already had TRD Front Shocks on top setting, TRD Rear Shocks, and Wheelers 3 leaf AAL.
- Added a Headstrong 1/2” shim to my AAL
- Added Supreme Suspensions angled leaf shim (think it’s 2.5*). No more vibes!
-Added Center Bolt Head Lengtheners for shim install from AutoandTruckSprings.com.
- Added SumoSprings SSR-612-40

 

Interested in more details about the angled shim. What direction for the angle go, and it got rid of the common vibration problem without doing the ecgs bushing?

 

Slimmer side faces the front, Thicker side faces the rear. I did not do the ECGS bushing. Every truck will be different, but this worked for me. Here is the link to the tapered shims I got https://supremesuspensions.com/prod...1&_sid=d8370a141&_ss=r&variant=32886517563472

If you use these shims, also make sure you pick up some center bolt lengtheners so there’s enough bolt head that can seat into the axle. You might also need new center pins as well. https://www.autoandtrucksprings.com/center-bolt-head-lengthener-2-pcs.-cbhl2/

 

You could've left the stock overload leaf in there with the AAL and retained the height you wanted and better load carrying capacity.

 

You’re right I could have, but that’s not necessarily true or ideal with a 3 leaf AAL. See this thread for pics and reasons

hey there.... truck's looking good a lil higher in the rear....what tire size are you running?.....are they 265/70r17 ko2s?

 

why does everyone seem to get new springs (ome) when they put on 5100s instead of using the factory ones like this kit?....
also, ....why are some of you using the aal instead of a block like is used in the oem kit?... everyone that has the full oem kit installed says that the ride is exactly same as factory...

 

when you use your stock springs and compress them to achive the higher lift....you are loading them up and making them stiffer so the truck wont ride as nice anymore.

Blocks are not that good for leaf springs. makes them easier to warp and you get more diff movement because of them under acceleration.

 

sounds like toyota didn't really think this kit through then....makes me nervous to install the oem lift on a brand new truck....
