Toyota Tundra 3 inch lift kit install I got a cheep lift kit for my 2001 Toyota Tundra and I did the work my self to install it on my pick up truck. #Toyota #liftkit
I installed this same kit and struggled like hell getting the old rusty parts out and the bottom bolt back in on the lower end of the strut. Wished you showed more of how you got yours back in. Either way the truck looks great!
My son just installed a lift like this in my 2004 quad cab Tundra but 3 inches in the back. Going to put bigger tires on too. I have these same rims but they might not be enough off-set. I may even add a rear spring to make it a little firmer and a touch of rake.
I’m was looking to do something similar to my 01 tundra but I was conflicted on new upper control arms with longer coil overs or just a simple block lift, but I think you’ve persuaded me! How does she drive now? Any issues come up in the months since you’ve installed? Thanks for the video, CZcams could always use more first gen tundra videos!
Did you do a carrier bearing drop as well? If you didn’t did you get any driveshaft vibrations? What do you think overall about the lift? Drives and feels the same as before? I have a first gen Tundra and want to do this to mine to!
I am ready to do this to my tundra, but I'm worried about messing up the camber/ alignment, or causing premature tire wear. Should I be worried with just a 2 inch spacer?
You’d be able to align it fine with just 2 inches. I’d worry about bottoming out off-roading and premature suspension wear. Not a big fan of spacer lifts. They’re only ok for the road. You’ll possibly run into issues for offrading
Okay that’s good to know , I used the exact same kit , last week my ball joint completely snapped on me , long story short , I did hit the driver on the curb a few years back , but I feel the clearance from the wheel to the hub is very minimal . Thanks 🙏🏾 again .
The only part I needed you fast forwarded through 😤

Fascinating, as always!

Could you post the link to the lift kit?
Nicely done! Thanks for the vid
Paint just sand it and prime it black and mate finish

Sweet bro, nice mild lift. Hey, did you decide what you wanted to do with the paint job? I thinking of either repainting or wrapping mine.
Nice video
Did you have to drop the lower control arm from to push the bottom of the shock back in to put the bolt back in.?
"I believe the front spacers measure are about an inch and 7/4s" 🤔 lol
Hi! I’d like to install this kit on my 06 I just have one question how was your high mileage affected I’m currently getting a avg of 15-15.5 mpg
Nice
Do you have to take the upper or lower control arm free to get the bottom bolt to line up with the strut? I can’t get mine to line up
Hey did u ever figure it out
Raptor liner for a paint job.
Did you have any trouble getting the leaf spring alligned with the block?
Im having this problem.
Yes I did you can git it but it is hard.
How much would they charge to do a 3’ lift?
what was the size for the front? 1 inch and 7/4 ?????
3 in the frunt and 2 in the back.
😂 weird I can't find that number on my tape measure
Did you do a carrier bearing drop as well? If you didn’t did you get any driveshaft vibrations? What do you think overall about the lift? Drives and feels the same as before? I have a first gen Tundra and want to do this to mine to!
No driveshaft Vibrations It does need a Frontend alignment But that is OK because I need new ball joints and tie rod ends.
Hey man, I have the same model and it’s 2WD, but I can’t get the front struts in with the spacer. There’s isn’t a rough space.
You need to take the lower control arm loose from the steering knuckle that should give you enough space to get it in.
Does this help with wheel clearance? I put some 2 in spacers on my 05 tundra and now they rub when I turn to far .
can u link where u got the lift kit or where can i find it
i have the same exact truck, following you along this journey as i am also doing some upgrades
That's cool thank you I bet your truck is going to turn out pretty awesome.
How much would they charge me for doing this on my tundra?
Did you have to undo the top ball joint to get the strut back in?
Did u ever figure it out i have the same question/problem
Did you have to change the rear shocks.
My mechanic says that i need extended rear shocks
I did not stock works good if you want more flex for off road extended rear shocks but for on road driving stock is fine.
You never said what brand the lift kit is!! What is it?
Rough country
Who made that lift kit?
How did you get yours in?

You should do a new engine for a Subaru wrx
No you should.😉
What did you do to make the front fit? Did you have to take UCA nut off and separate the 2 pieces?
Did u ever figure it out i have the same question/problem
Any upper ball joint issues ?
Nop.

How much is an inch and seven quarters? Around 8 minutes
It is a 3 inch lift.
@@AaronMartinCOOLVIDEO can you post a picture of a tape measure showing an inch and seven quarters? I can't find it on my tape measure...
