Toyota TRD OEM lift kit

I didnt pay anymore than 5100's for my TRD lift.
Some states dont allow fog lights above a certain height so legally toyota doing the install has to remove them for it to be road compliant.

 

Finally someone else gets it. However I would add a block and new stocks for the rear. The stock shocks and rear shocks should be the same for the best ride.

 

TRD Lift kit finally arrived from Passport Toyota. I was able to order the kit of 4 and the hardware without the grill for $736 shipped. Dealer is now quoting me $790 for install and alignment, still debating if I should do it to keep the warranty or save about $300 by having it done at a local reputable shop

 

They look like bilstein 5100s

 

do it yourself. Its pretty easy. front took me about 1.5hrs if that and the rear is pretty easy to. you dont need a spring compressor.
I did mine this way with no issues

Thanks for sharing, that does look pretty easy. However, I don’t have a garage nor the tools and I spend plenty of my time working that I rather just drop it off somewhere and get it taken care of.

How are you liking it so far?

 

I like it. I only did my lift on the middle perch for 1.5" front and I did a 1" block in the rear. The ride is nicer than the sport shocks as they seem to absorb bumps better and dont feel as much. The only downside is I got the needle bearing vibes right after. So I need to do the bushing eventually. I have it just not sure when I feel like doing it

 

I’m pretty sure they are. If I’m not mistaken, you can get the Bilstein 5100s kit for about $450 so I basically paid $280 more for the TRD labels, rear block, and warranty.

 

Any reason why you decided to go with the middle perch?

I did do some research before purchasing the kit and I read about the bushing, seems like it’s a common problem but I think I’m going to do the install and worry about it later if I also end up getting it.

 

I must be color blind, I thought 5100’s were silver and black? You can see through the shock body to see how it’s constructed?
It maybe a 5100, but a 5100 will not be covered by Toyota.
Saves on any finger pointing come warranty time.

 

Just preference. I didnt want 2" and I was up in the air between doing 1 or 1.5" so I went with a tad higher and went with the 1.5"

 

Where'd you get your 1" block from?

 

this is the one I bought

Picked mine up today with the TRD Lift, TRD Pro Wheels, and 285/70R17 Ridge Grapplers installed

 

I think it was a great deal. Got it on sale Memorial weekend for $1050 plus installation. I asked the dealership to leave on my fog lights; they did. Plus the rear shocks are a larger diameter and hold more oil, translates to better cooling of the shock. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the lift and the PRO grill was a nice bonus.

 

Looks good!

 

Truck looks awesome but ... Also looks like your trucks not gonna fit in your garage with the lift.. Going to have to lift your garage. Lol

 

Lol, it’s just the angle, I’ve still got about 6 inches above the truck. I pulled it in straight from the dealership to install the raptor lights, I was very nervous though.

 

Lift working out well enough so far on easier OHV routes.

 

They are!
