Toyota of Clermont’s Guide to Toyota Tundra Lift Kits

 

If you’re looking to upgrade your truck, then a Toyota Tundra lift kit may be a great option! A lift can improve the look and performance capabilities of your vehicle, and it’s important to choose the right one for your vehicle. Our Toyota of Clermont experts are here with a quick guide to choosing your lift kit - so let’s get into it!

Toyota Tundra Lift Kit Functions

Basically, a lift kit can be installed to create more ground clearance for your truck. There are several different kinds of Toyota Tundra lift kits to choose from, so let’s take a look at each option’s functions. 

• Leveling Kit: These kits will level out the rake in your truck’s suspension. The back of the Tundra sits slightly higher than the front due to the weight of the engine. So, you can add the leveling kit to lift the front which allows you to add larger tires and also decreases wear on the suspension caused by weight in the truck bed. 

• Suspension Lift: Lifting your Tundra’s suspension can improve off-roading performance as it increases visibility and allows you to add bigger tires. This kit will raise the height of the whole truck and is one of the more popular lift kits. 

• Body Lift: Body lifts are the least common kind of kit. They do not affect the suspension - instead they increase the distance between the body and frame of your truck. They are mostly good for aesthetics, as they do not do much for the vehicle’s performance.

Purchasing Your Toyota Tundra Lift Kit

If you don’t want to go with Toyota’s lift kit, here are some things to consider before purchasing a Toyota Tundra lift:

• 1-2 inch lifts are better for moderate trail driving

• 3-4 inch lifts are good for trails with larger rocks

• 6-inch Toyota Tundra lifts will be necessary for serious rock climbing

• Get your lift kit professional installed. You can always talk to one of our Clermont Toyota auto experts if you need advice. 

• Suspension lifts are the best option for someone who is looking to do major off-roading because you get more ground clearance and the ability to add bigger tires. 

• Leveling kits are better for someone just looking to make their truck look sportier. 

Again, you can always try to find a lifted Toyota Tundra for sale, but it’s risky if you don't know exactly what kind of kit that last owner purchased or who installed it. We recommend doing a lot of research to ensure you get the best quality performance from your truck.
