I am looking at getting the rough land three.v" elevator on my xvi crewmax. Can anyone mail up some pics of their rigs with this lift or any 3.five" elevator. I want to see real world examples not the marketing pics on rough state's or anyone elses site.
Edit - Or schoolhouse me on a amend lift. Just don't desire to spend g.00 on the lift if possible. Truck isn't my daily driver. Only probably put 100-200 miles on it each month, maybe....I like the 549.00 price point is the reason I keep going back to that lift.

Thanks in advance.

I am sitting at about three.25" in the front, 1" in the rear. ADS shocks with 700 lb springs up front. And yous won't spend $k. Information technology'll be more similar $3700 (and that is if y'all install it yourself).
Although information technology is hard to spend that coin, just it is well worth it IMO.

I'thou in the same boat! I currently take the 3 inch leveling kit by RC and the shop volition buy it back if I upgrade to the 3.5 in bolt on lift kit. My plan is to upgrade intermission next yr but in the meantime......do I add the front shims to give me 3 inches in the front end and add a 1 inch block in back or sell back the leveling kit and go with the 3.5 in bolt on kit???? This is the kit http://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-interruption-lift-kit-76720.html

Thanks! No cutting other than minor trimming of the front bumper to clear 35's. There are some good videos on YouTube to show how and where to trim to keep it looking factory. Lift is straight forrard as far every bit install. Fully bolt on. I did non want to void factory warranty by cut the cross member or frame similar you have to with the half-dozen".

I hadn't been able to find much information on the 3.v" rough country lift, only I tried information technology anyway. Most of the work was done myself except for the upper control arms. Those are a PITA. I am nonetheless on my old 275s but I have 35x12.5R18 and motometal +18mm rims going on shortly.

3.5" rough country lift Fender Flares 35x12.5R18 Atturro Trail Blade XT

Notes on the lift: Uppers required me to get a store to do it. Commuter'south side is very tight to get the bolt in and out and I didn't have the patience, right tools, nor energy to do it myself. I put it back together with the stock uppers for a couple days.
Directions suck. Some areas were good, but at that place is a lot left for you to effigy out. I know on the front differential I got the passenger spacer in easy, the driver's side required me to loosen the bolts on the bracket to the differential to line it upwards. The rear was very like shooting fish in a barrel. I had some missing nuts for the brake line brackets only they were cheap and easy to acquire. Have actress one/ii" drive ratchets. I bankrupt a 24" craftsman pause over, I also sheared another 1/2" ratchet on dissimilar parts just loosening nuts.

I ended up having to use strut compressors on the springs afterward I got the acme in place. Loosening the cam bolts dropped the lowers but I was about 1/2" shy of plumbing equipment them in there.

I ordered Billstein 5100 shocks for the front thinking they would have a 0" setting equally advertised only don't waste your time, for the Tundra the everyman setting is .8" so they had to be returned. I went with KYB Excel G

Biggest complaint is the rear shocks don't come with boots. Overall I'yard happy so far and take been driving for 2 days on it. Do not take it to a concatenation store for alignment. Take information technology to a shop that does lifted trucks. Camber and Caster are adjusted by the cam bolts and almost don't sympathize how to do that. My toe and camber is in spec, my Caster is five.3 on the driver and 6.2 on rider and the store couldn't get them closer. I will exist going to another store to get that fixed.

Haha point taken. I just have a hard time spending a ton of greenbacks on information technology when information technology sits 90% of the fourth dimension. I'm after a better await but that'southward about all.

I am with you. Only spend what is needed for the intended purpose. Too many mall crawlers with $10,000 suspension/bike packages out there. LOL.
Amen! To each their own simply if y'all want the extra ground clearance or but for advent sake and y'all don't plan on doing whatever heavy duty off-roading, RC is a skilful option. No sense in spending money on a ringlet over or other higher end options if yous aren't going to use them properly.

Yeah, the only off roading my truck does is during hunting season and most of the roads are farm or logging roads.
I love the kids around town that have the 10,000 ready ups on their rigs and they never leave the pavement.

3.5" rough country lift Fender Flares 35x12.5R18 Atturro Trail Bract XT

Exactly my thought. If I was truly offroading, I would definitely spend more money on a quality lift, merely short of the occasional muddy cook off sites or back roads, that is all mine sees. RC is riding smooth, and looks cracking. The extra $$ wouldn't benefit me at all.

Holy crap, is that an actual genuine VECTOR?
So I would simply like to requite y'all my two cents. Spend the extra cash. I had the 3/1 leveling kit from crude country. When I had my suspension installed they pulled me to the side and asked what kind of lift it was.. said it was the sketchiest lift they had ever seen. Plastic rear blocks and all... I will never go the cheap route again. Even if it's simply a couple hundred miles a week.. wait.. salve.. and get what you want. Something dependable.

3.5" rough land lift Fender Flares 35x12.5R18 Atturro Trail Blade XT

The 3.five" lift he is considering is not plastic in any fashion. This is not the cheap three/1. This one comes with steel blocks, upper control arms, rear shocks and all. The only plastic is the spacers for the front end differential mounts. I accept been running almost 1k miles so far and I love it. Merely issue for me is get the coachbuilder carrier bearing kit because you do get a slight vibration from 10-20mph due to the new drive line angles.
I wish crude country would permit you lot bandy the 3" elevator struts in that kit instead of spacers. If my truck didn't have many miles, I would for sure get that route. When I accept to practise annihilation else to mine, my truck will have quite a few miles on the factory shocks, and I want to supersede them all. I don't desire to replace rear shocks to compensate for a lift, then put some other spacer back on the front with the onetime shocks.

I had 145k miles on mine when I did it. I did keep the erstwhile springs, but I replaced the shocks. The ride is nice. You can however purchase strut assemblies from another brand to install and go out out the spacers. Might every bit well buy a more expensive kit at that indicate though. I don't know how wore out your springs are, but the KYB shocks with the springs actually ride prissy. But my truck was so ready for new shocks, annihilation would accept felt ameliorate.
My stock ones have 136k on them at present, and I'll probably continue them on at least through this new set of tires I just got, unless they offset leaking. I had thought most going that route with ownership unlike struts for them, but figured at that bespeak I would nigh be at the aforementioned price as the Eibach Coilover kit.

Leveling spacer in front end

Are the 35's 12.5 or 11.5?
