Do you think Double Cab Long Beds 4x4’s, all stock look to squatted?

6" lift on my DCLB since new in 2018, no issues whatsoever.... rear end does seem slightly lower now than when I bought it but I tow a fair amount and probably time for an upgrade.

 

I added a 3leaf to my stock leaf pack and it definitely flattened when I towed a travel trailer. The next year I went with a dobinsons leaf pack, towed and that worked great no issues afterward.

 

Re: >>>"does my truck look saggy"<<

No.

I actually think a worse look is a lift with no corresponding tire/wheel increase. The wheel arch is now suspended above a big/dark blank space and "way up there"; and your 15/16" wheels/tires now look like small 14" (or worse: 13") clown-car wheels lost in the crowd. I think if my truck had a sagging look, I'd just add a leaf. YMMV

 

No not at all. Totally happy with my 9.4” of stock ground clearance. I did go one tire size up tho. However it’s all subjective. To each their own.

 

What a dull place this would be if everyone made the rational choice and left their truck as-is from the factory. What would we even talk about? It's almost like this is an enthusiast's forum, where people tend to modify their vehicles, for better or worse.

Obviously a bone stock truck has a better chance of outlasting a heavily modified truck, in the same way that I'd probably live longer if I never tried a cheeseburger.

Sometimes you gotta live a little.

 

thats a sick rig! lunar rock toppers are rad

 

This is how it looks now w/ wheels and an AAL

 

Hell yes! LR is a really rare colour out where I'm at. Hardly ever see them.

 

I've seen a few DCLB TRD Sport's here in Southern California but not TRD OR in this colorway (yet)

 

Nah

 

Nope .just right with a topper.

 

So I put on a set of FALKEN WILDPEAKS in 265/65/18 looks somewhat better. Might still need a lift.

 

@atc250r What lift did you end up going with?

 

No lift for me yet. But I believe it needs a lift though. I figured I would see how my truck looks with a new set of tires. So I got the WildPeaks, they ride nice. I am going to look into the adjustable BILSTEIN 5100 set. With 1 inch blocks for the back.

 

You'll like the Wildpeaks. That's what I have on mine. I put a 2" spacer lift in front and 1" block in the rear. Whenever I need shocks, I'll go with the 5100s I had them on my Tundra and they were great!

 

Any issues with your lift? With radar cruise not working etc. or needle bearing noise. Just checking I am going to do a lift. Do not want any issues that is all.

 

My previous '07 Sport was a long bed and I thought it looked squatted; even with Dakar leafs and a 1.75" front lift.
These days, I have more of a function-over-form mentality.

One thing that I think would help, is black fender flares; gives the illusion of space above the tire.

 

I have not had any issues, yet anyway. It's a pretty mild lift though. I did not do a diff drop either, although I have the stuff to do it, I've read things that would indicate that you don't really need it until you go beyond 2". I'm pretty happy with the lift. I only paid $130 for it and it included the spacers, bolts, spacer blocks for the rear and new U bolts/ nuts, also the diff drop kit. I know a lot of guys don't like the spacers, and honestly, if I planned on doing any major wheeling, I would have done something else. Didn't want to spend the $ yet on the 5100s until the stock shocks have gone for a while. Although I'm not knocking the 5100s by any means. They are great shocks.
As far as the radar cruise, I had some issues with that whenever I put the Pro grille in, but I solved that by shaving some of the plastic down on the rear of the garnish. Haven't had any problems with that since

 

100% agree. Bigger tires are a must if you end up doing it. I went with 33” Ridge Grapplers and method 704s and love them.

 

2" via 5100's all around. OME springs up front and Headstrong 3 Leaf AAL with 1/2" block in the back. Very happy so far, especially with the front. Sucks up bumps nicely.
