Leveling and mild suspension kits are among the most popular aftermarket products for Toyota truck owners.
These systems transform trucks into taller, better-looking vehicles while providing a more commanding view.
SST Lift Kits from ReadyLift Suspension Inc., a leader in suspension leveling and lift systems, are safe and economical, allowing consumers to upgrade their tires to a larger size.
This complete lift kit includes a powder-coated steel strut extension, front differential drop bracket, sway bar drop brackets, skid plate spacers, and a 2-inch rear lift block.
The SST strut extension and diff drop bracket are designed to provide 2.75 to 3.0 inches of front suspension lift while retaining OEM safe suspension geometry.
Unlike other kits, no cutting or strut spring pre-loading is required.
Installation is quick and safe using the provided hardware, and quality step-by-step instructions are included.
A new tapered 2.0-inch rear lift block is included, allowing owners to upgrade to larger wheel and tire combinations up to 33 inches in diameter while retaining stock ride and handling characteristics.
A 32.5-inch tire diameter is recommended.
To fit 33-inch tires, minor trimming of the inner fender well may be necessary.
Note: The objective is to have your truck sit level or slightly below level.
Each truck is different, so the amount of lift achieved may vary between 2.75 and 3.0 inches in the front.
TRD-equipped trucks often have less rake compared to non-TRD trucks.
Measurements on customer trucks have revealed as much as a 1.0-inch difference in factory front end height.
Some earlier model Tacoma trucks came factory with a 2 leaf plus overload rear spring pack that had sagging issues.
Toyota is replacing these with a 3+1 rear leaf pack.
Trucks with 2+1 packs will want to take advantage of this lift system, which includes a 2.0-inch rear lift block for a complete lift all the way around and a stance with approximately a 0.5-inch rear to front rake.
For 2011-2015 Tacoma applications, Toyota made minor changes to the Tacoma upper control arm suspension geometry.
In some cases, adding a leveling kit may affect the ability to correct the caster alignment to within factory specifications.
If you have a 2011-2014 Tacoma with a leveling kit and the caster alignment specs cannot be returned to factory, your truck will require an aftermarket upper control arm with adjustable caster/camber.
