I did the Dobinsons 3/2 with 35s a couple weeks ago, and love it so far!

No other kit on the market is as comprehensive as this Factory TRD Lift Kit. You have heavy duty extended cv axles/ heavy duty knuckles/ heavy duty tie-rods & inner-sleeves which you don’t get with King/Fox/OME/Icon etc.
It is Factory warrantied and you can get it as a Factory option which you don’t have to factor in labor charges.
The only thing I would upgrade is a 2.5-3” body shock and piggy-backs.

Highly recommend switching out the 2'' trd rear coil spacers for 2'' Dobinson coils springs. Rides so much better and doesn't sag like it does with the spacers.

I have this kit as well. It’s a good kit but they need to upgrade the shock to a 2.5 mm shock for better off road . It is a good option and has true travel when off roading but from a ride quality it is good and height is about right with good appearance . One last thing that would have been good is also being able to fit 35’s without a wheel upgrade . Other than that it’s good option with capability for off roading, height, n appearance. I’ve had mine on my 23 since I bought the truck. 35K later no regrets.

What is the tire size you have with this 3” lift kit?

I’ll get around to watching the video but, what are the mountain decals on the Tundra emblems you have? I’ve seen them in an ad but can’t find them. Thanks. Nice truck by the way.

So what are your wheel & tire specs (size, offset, spacers if any, etc.) I have a 2025 Tundra Platinum 6.5 w/ the 3” TRD lift (and TRD OR pkg) coming and I’ve read some reviews where a 285/65R20 slightly rubs on the sway bar at full turn. Appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks. (Nice truck BTW)

I think it’s worth it if you can find a good price for it. Parts + labor for me was $3400. I wouldn’t pay for this kit if it was $4000 and above. It rides good. Sure there are better shocks out there but this kit is sufficient enough for my needs

Did the dealer adjust down your fog lights when they installed the lift?

[kennethsmith]

Great videos, but you should consider the easy step of balancing the sound between the interior and exterior shots. It is easy to do and would make the videos easier to watch.

What mpg are you getting with the lift now that you’ve had it for a while?

[maximus]

I been trying to get the kit but Toyota is not selling it anymore, or at least for now, anyone known when they may get back in the market?

[Goducks]

I tried to get this kit but every dealer I called (SoCal) wants an arm and a leg for labor. Came out to $6k-$7k total! For that, I rather run King’s

[nunya]

what gears did it come with from toyota ? 430's ? and do feel it up shifts more?

[Logan-yy]

How tall is your garage door? Mine is 82”. Not sure I’ll be able to clear post-lift.

[ElTacoXD]

What about get the kit and change the shocks to fox or kings shocks?
