3rd gen 3 inch lift kit

Any Recommendations on 3 inch lift kits? Will be going off roading every other weekend.

 

Welcome to TW! I’ll give ya the nice answer before you get a buncha not nice answers haha. It all depends on what your budget is, what you’re willing to replace/cut off your brand new truck, what type of off-roading you’re going to do, etc. I am by no means an expert but I did a lot of research before I arrived at my 2” OME full suspension kit. I recommend you do the same because you’re going to get too many different answers. You could spend a couple hundred dollars on a Rough Country lift (would NOT recommend for how often you’re wanting to off-road), all the way up to close to 10k+ on a high end King kit. You kinda need to decide what you’re going to use the truck for and what you want/need first, then start researching/shopping around.

I’ve seen this message a lot too while researching, “try the truck out as is for awhile before you go spend a buncha money upgrading. You may find out you don’t need what you thought ya did.”

 

I went with the ICON stage 4 kit ($3200). Yielded 2" of lift on 2022 TRD OffRoad. Ride on pavement is greatly improved. Haven't been off road yet.

 

Depends on your budget.

Front coil overs and rear shocks.
High end

If you go 3+ upper control arms are a good idea.

That’s a start to look at. There’s a lot of variables for a straight answer.

 

What kind of shoes should I wear on vacation?

 

Depends on how much you want to spend and where you’re going.

 

The only obvious answer is flip flops. If you gotta wear shoes, it’s not a vacation.

 

Nailed it

 

I only wear shoes at funerals and when someone is paying me (sometimes).

Fuck shoes!

 

Do a 2 inch lift,then get larger diameter tires for the extra lift,3 inch lift kit will cause you lots of problems.

 

why do you need a 3 inch lift?

 

@Xero gave you the perfect answer. I would do a lot of research on those things and really figure out what you’re looking for. There are some great videos comparing options on YouTube.

After tons of research I just ordered 6112’s/5160’s from @memario1214 to pair with Icon RXT’s. he is a great resource and great place to buy from once you figure out what you want.

 

Great setup

 

Lifts are over rated honestly save yourself the future head aches toss some armor and good tires on and get out there. As much as I like my truck having the lift and tires the more I go and the more I use it the more I realize it really isn't needed.

 

Get a lift, taller tire, full skid plate kit, and stay away from any area call The Rock Garden.

 

The rock garden is the funnest parts though.

 

Not when truck is one month old and you get into it and not be able to back out or turn around. Those noises are bad.

 

Wrong! Currently on 3” with Toyo AT3 285/70-17’s. Zero issues! Zero rub!
