I like how the commentary is detailed and oriented. I’m definitely gonna buy this kit.
BEST step by step video on this truck to date!!
Thank you for this video. Helped greatly when I leveled my 2007 TRD.
Put this kit onto my 2007 Tundra today and just let me say..... Wow! I was amazed at how easy the installation was. Sure it took me and my brother in-law a few hours but we’re not professional and we wanted to make certain we got it all correct. I was blow away by the step by step instructions I got with the kid from the website. Do your self a huge favor and go get this kit and then download the step by step instructions. Not one step was left out.... Excellent work! I’ve since gone back to Low Range Off-road to see what other products they might have that I’d like for my Tundra! Thanks guys! Keep up the great work!
How is the ride after the lift, any usual noise or rough ride? I want to do the same with my 2007 4x4 but I’m concerned the ride will be compromised. I like the factory ride.
Do you notice a large departure from the norm in the angle of the front wheel axle CVT joints. Looking at any 4x4 Tacoma the lower body line rides above the centerline of the wheels, That is the look i want for my Tundra.
Did you have to get aftermarket uca’s
Thanks! This helped me a ton with my Tundra 3/1 lift - Two thumbs up
very well detailed explanation even an amature can do it with these instructions
FINALLY got these REMOVED after having them on for one year... I had no idea what a severe downgrade a spacer was, I just thought it was not the best ride quality. The reality is spacers REMOVE suspension travel. Spacers cause widespread damage across the board. Your UCA will rub the spring, you will loose droop articulation, you over extend the UBJ operation angle, cant reach your bump stops, the strut becomes your suspension limiter, either breaking the strut or its mount. DO NOT PUT ANY SPACER ON YOUR STRUT! Not just this one! If you need lift you MUST buy longer struts or you are downgrading and lowering the performance of your suspension. Fitting a high performance off road tire becomes useless when you have a downgraded suspension with 4" of articulation and bottom out on your STRUT MOUNT!!!!
Good video. I hope that Peruvian pan flute band heard in the video was performing live on set. The workers would love that.
Good videos
Very thankful that you show this...
Best video for the leaving kit helped me out alot
What a great instruction video!
The red thread lock is a very good ideal.🍀
Very nice explained 👍. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video
great video. got mine done, it was a real pain. 2hrs per side for me. i dont think i'd bother attempting this on jackstands again... next time shes going to the alignment shop and they can do it all!! very detailed and good. I had problems loosening the upper control arm bolts on one side and ruined a 24mm impact socket... loosening helps but on that difficult side i was able to put enough pressure down on control arm to get the strut in....
great video thanks.
WoW!..👍🏼 i need this for my Dodge RAM 2011😭
very good video frend. thankyu very much I'm Fans
Awesome video. I am getting a lift like this installed on my 2015 Tundra next month. I can't wait.
Do you mind me asking how much the install cost? I'm considering doing this lift as well but don't have the required gear or know how to install myself.
Are you satisfied with how it turned out. Also have a 2015 Tundra.
Did you get aftermarket uca’s
The best video !!!
GOOD work
I dont even have a truck, but is good information
I just did my 2017 Taco and I don't have a lift like a mechanic. So the procedure is a bit different as I discovered while doing it. This video is more for mechanics and not for guys like me without a lift. Well done video tho.
Nice video very good job 👍
Step by step, i love it 👌
Very Very good video. Easy install explained simple . No jargon and crazy tools needed. I only wonder why no red thread lock was needed for rear leaf nuts. ?
I think you are referring to the U-Bolt nuts, Right? We don't put red thread locker on those nuts because we recommend they be re-torqued after the first 500 miles. We should have put that in the video but didn't. I will add that note. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
love it
desde tijuana México y del taller especialidad automotriz agradecemos a los técnicos el realizar el video sin fines lucrativos mil gracias
De nada. Gracias por ver y comentar.

You are not required to display their logo with it positioned facing out. It is a symmetrical puck that can be flipped opposite to display a blank side.
Very well explain
I am getting it for my Ford Expedition
1/8 inch for cargo. Like a 20lb bag of flour. Good video. Opinions on lift shackles vs your lift?
good job
Hello, my name is Bryan! and I have a question, I have a 2014 toyota Tundra SR5 4.6L 2WD about 3 weeks ago I lift it 2 "in the back and the front, and then I take it to align and I have a pronlema that walks me spending the tires in front the part of the shore outside. My question is, do I have to change Control Arm or the Spindles? or what do you recommend? I hope your answer and in advance thanks
excelente muy bueno.¡¡¡¡¡¡..me servia para hacer lo mismo con mi hilux ¡¡¡
Great Video .just Curious , Does This Affect The Ride Quality ??
Is it recommended to replace the upper control arms to get a better alignment? I was reading that with a 3" lift it is best to also replace the UCA's. Any thoughts?
Great video 👏
Donde puedo conseguir estos aditamentos para un stratus 2006?
Something left out. When tightening the cam bolts it's important to load the suspension.
Yeah, I always thought you were supposed to tighten/torque the bottom shock bolts when it was back on the ground. 🤷♂️
Great video but the torque spec for the spacer to coil must not be 47 ft lbs being that I have 3 left now for the passenger side....
Kyle Riley yea that’s all bs I always tighten those to how I feel is right and no problems there
Did you just tighten the cam bolts while the car war up in the air? Did you notice the angle of your upper ball joint? You will be needing new ball joints in 3 months. Good luck. Spacers are bad.
I feel this method only works with a lift. There is simply not enough room to lower the strut assembly low enough to come out on the ground.
Good video though. Narrator voice and pace is great for this kind of tutorial.
Did you use 1" or 2" blocks in the rear?
hello dear friend can you show me the same installation on nissan pathfinder R51 . Thanks lot for this video
Are the steering stop brackets essential? What happens if they are not installed?
why the block of front strut is only 1 3/4 ? that's will give us 3in by the end ?
Need a Leveling kit for 2020 Chevy traverse
hey there i just got a 2017 tundra at the toyota dealership i work at, wanting to get your lift kit but i have a couple questions. is the front spacer actually 3 inches or is the lift it gives three inches? also the master tech that does the lift here says you dont need a diff drop kit for models after 2012. any comment? mine is a 4x4
Chase Tan The strut spacer is not 3 inch, but it lifts the truck equal to 3 plus inches and yes you need the diff drop.
I would like to do so.
Same steps for a 06?
I have a 2015 TRD. Any recommendation of just adding a front leveling spacer without the rear. Do you sell only a front kit?
Yes we do. It is not on the website, but you can email our sales guys at: sales@lowrangeoffroad.com or call us at 801-361-6115 between 8am to 5pm MDT. I believe the cost is $199.99.
@@lowrangeoffroad1 Now it makes sense why you guys promote 3" strut spacers and dont mention any of the huge issues they cause. Because you sell the EXACT same 50$ billet aluminum blocks amazon has for 200$ on your page. Im writing down this brand. I want to remember to avoid it.
You need a steering stop bracket?
Will this work on 2nd gen tundras?
Did anyone else break the spot welds that hold the nuts for the sway bar bolts?
Mine are still broken. How'd you fix it?
You have to cut out a section of the frame to get at the bolts. Clamp them from spinning, when removed. Clean the area. Grind it weld back into spot. Then clean and grind the section of frame and weld in a. Plate to seal it. Lots of work. .lol
My local offroad shop strongly advises me against using spacer struds, citing problems with stability and ball joints. How accurate is this? I see so many use it and have no problems - what are you guys take on this?
People don’t torque spacers properly and then bam bye bye insurance claim
You can use the subject of strut spacers to weed out worthless shops. ANY shop willing to associate with strut spacers for ANY reason off-road or not, steer clear, they have absolutely no experience or they would understand why they CANT BE USED.
Seems to me this can be done without removing the sway bar from the body, doing this job tomorrow I'll let you know
Well, what say you? Sway bar removal not needed?
No I did not need to remove the sway bar from the body
Toyota factory service manual calls for 45Nm or 33 ft-lbs for the 4 strut Mount nuts. Not 47 ft-lbs. Just spreading information, do what you please with it.
The man applying that red thread locker probably uses a breaker bar to install an oil filter.
hey do you have a lift kit for 2020 Fortuner? thanks
Will that stress my ball joint and cv axle ??
Yes, I’ve owned Tacoma’s and tundras for along time. Theses spacers will give you some extra ride hide. They eliminate almost all your down travel and put your cv shafts at angles that wear them prematurely. The last Tacoma I put these on, in 120,000 miles it went through 2 sets of cv’s and 2 sets of lower ball joints and 3 set of uppers. The tundra may have a little stronger components, but you still will not get the full service life out of your front end components.
I do not believe so... not the way they install this one... there is spacers in between differential brackets and the frame. So it actually drops ur different down a few inches to make up for lifting up the truck
I had this kit professionally installed along with new UCA's. Aligned Tacoma (2017 TRD off-road) to factory specs. I'm now experiencing a vibration at various speeds. Can you please help with some advice. Do I need to also drop the carrier bearing?
John, I would recommend using shackles for the rear instead of a block. This should solve your problem.
Did you drop the differential also?
Did u ever figure out the vibration? I have a 3/2 ready life which is similar to this and I am getting a vibration like u described on my 2021 tundra I have done the diff drop and sway bar drop bracket and it was professionally installed and aligned. Do u recommend the carrier bearing drop kit that’s really the last thing I can find to do everything else is good on the truck.
@@jeremeywright I did add the spacer to the drive shaft carrier bearing. Everything is good.
@@johncover9757 thanks i’m doing the carrier bearing drop kit next thursday i’ll let u know if it fixes my vibration/shaking issue also fingers crossed it does.
These spacers will fit 2007-2021 Tundras correct ?
Did anyone add a carrier bearing drop when they did this kit?
А скажите пожолуйста где можно заказать запчасти на тундру
Can you fit 35 on the 3/1 leveling kit on 2012 toyota tundra
Yes, with some trimming and more offset wheels or wheel spacers you could run 35s. You would need to trim the inner fender plastic and the front skid plate edge closest to the front inner edge of the tire. I you have further questions, call 801-805-6644 8am to 5pm MST and ask for Nick. Thanks for watching and commenting.
lowrangeoffroad would that be a negative or positive off-set to fit bigger tires?
Is it really necessary to drop the sway bar? Or do they remove it for working clearance?
I did this yesterday on my 2020 Tundra. Trust me, remove the sway bar. It's simple and will save you some grief.
Issue is the sway bar mounting bolts snapped and required some "surgery" to fix. I live in the rust belt and have a feeling those are not going to co-operate. So if I don't have to touch them it would be better. Lol
Can you installed these while you got a 6 inch lift I have a Toyota Tundra 15
Sorry. I am not sure I can answer your question. If you could reach out to our Tech Support guys at sales@lowrangeoffroad.com (or call us at 801-805-6644 8-5 MST), I am confident they can help you with your question.
JASON LY you can't put lift on with a six inches lift. however lowrange has a 3/8" spacer that will stack on top of your strut. that will give you another 3/4" - 1" of lift.
Will there be a problem with the oem control arm contacting the coil ?
There is a whole laundry list of problems. A 1" spacer is not ok, this 3" one is a total joke. The UCA is at full droop with it sitting on the ground..... ROFL
So just to clarify, levelling the front suspension with a 3inch spacer also ends up lifting the rear suspension by default?
Most kits come with a 1" or 2" block to go between springs and rear end and new u bolts
how much is the installation cost
Price ?
Hello, went on your web site looking to purchase the steering stop extension plates and could not find them!!! Where did you purchase the steering stop extension plates?
Please Advise. Great Video very informative

Is it the same for toyota hilux in asia ?
Y'all are here in Utah??

Is this way of lifting/leveling a truck safe?
yup, but will eventually wear out cv joints upper control arms after a good while
What if I have air bags on mine ???
Will this void any warranties?
I should not void the warranty. We sell these kits to many Toyota Dealerships which they install on brand new Tundras. There may be room for them to not honor the warranty if they do not do the install. If I were you, I'd check with the dealership you work with before installing this kit just to be sure. Thanks for watching and commenting.
After tha if fit 33 inch tire
Как можно заказать
Wait till you run over a rock and it shoves the Diff arm bolt up through your engine block ,due too the drop kit lowering the Diff arms closer too the ground.
By rock, you mean boulder?
Engine block is not right above it dude

Can i do the same with a toyota 1984 4WD
The 84 4WD has a different suspension system. However, we do make lift kit for your fig. Call 801-805-6644 and ask the guys to help you out. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Booo...avoid spacer lifts people. Coilover shocks like Bilstein 6112 is the right way to do it.
I'm a newbie: Why avoid spacer lifts?
@@EverythingisFire A spacer kit is generally a steel spacer that bolts to the top of the strut assembly. The spacer doesn't pre-load the spring, but instead, it sits like a crown on top of the upper strut plate, putting space between the strut frame mount and the strut itself.
Making a strut longer on any IFS vehicle is a bad idea. Increasing the struts length, and putting more space between the upper and lower control arm throws geometry way off. At static ride height, a vehicle wearing a leveling kit sits in a position where the suspensions down travel travel is at 2" or 3" (depending on the kits lift.) This puts the cv joints for the transfer case out of the normal operating range and angle they should function at, as well as causes the power steering rack (if applicable)to have poor tie rod operating angles. A tie-rod that used to operate nice and parallel to the ground, is now working at an angle.
With the kit installed, allowing full articulation of the front end causes even bigger problems. Now that the strut is displaced 2-3" lower in the strut tower/frame mount, it now fully extends too long for the other front end components, causing over extension of the cv joints, tie rods, and upper control arms.
Ive noticed that this translates into the upper control arm drooping down to the point where it swings into the struts coil spring, where it rests. This makes the upper ball joint the suspension limiter, instead of the strut. I can only imagine the shortened life the ball joint will suffer with a leveling kit setup.
Leveling kit companies such as "ready lift" and "truxxx" to name a few state that "our kits will not alter the factory ride feel" Although this statement is true, because the strut assembly's shock remains unchanged, it is doing a number on your front end.
@@ChannelOne-1 Thanks! I really appreciate your thorough answer. I'll have some things to think about.
How long does this take?
12 days.
Front shock hasn't got a chance. One good offroad session and that poor shock is gone.
why? im curious.
I was gonna do this until they said 10 mm
The most common MM bolt in the world?
@@ericperkins3078 the most commonly lost mm socket in the world.

Dont get suckered into this aftermarket crap. Just installing trouble.
One of the things you need to think of ,when the truck sits level with no weight in bed ,adding weight bow has the rear squatting and dragging azz .
