I probably would have separated the upper ball joint instead of loosening the lower control arm bolts as this is where camber/caster adjustments are made. Also you should never tighten control arm bushing bolts or the bottom shock bolt without the weight of the vehicle on them.
Westcott Designs has manufactured a 3” spacer out for all models of the Tundra! I’ll be installing mine pretty soon on my 2022 platinum with the AVS in the rear.
when you turn off the truck you have 45 seconds to push up the "mist" lever on the right side of the treeing wheel, this will deploy the air dam for better access to those skid plate bolts.
Westcott Designs kit is available now, there done several Tundras. It's not strict spacers so doesn't give the terrible ride. You definitely should check it out.
Looking great! I'll probably follow in your footsteps on this one. I know it's way too early, but have you given any thoughts on Speedometer recalibration and any impact bigger tires might have on the TSS radar system and/or transmission shift points? My only hold up on installing bigger tires right now is the unknown impact to these systems. Things have become a lot more complicated when lifting vehicles compared to my 2012 4Runner (my last vehicle).
Also, I would like to know if you will calculate the difference in distance traveled per tire revolution into your fuel economy numbers. I am really enjoying all your videos. I have an FJ, so those older videos are fun too.
Good instructional video. Has Toyota done a better job rustproofing this new Tundra than they do for the Tacoma and 4 Runner ?? I just traded my 2019 Tacoma for a 2022 4Runner. I’m hoping that I can stay ahead of the corrosion as I want to keep it long term as it is the last year of the current generation.
If you are in the rust belt it doesn’t matter what you drive. Go through the car washes with under carriage spray clean, dry and then add corrosion protection. It is also an issue near the coast.
Can you get an inch and a half inch spacer so you don't half to raise the back any to keep the front down a half inch. Or is it better to do two in the front and one inch in the back to have it a little lower in the front, if I am keeping the tires that came with it.
I don't understand why so many people use a spacer lift when you have the Westcott collar lift. It doesn't change the geometry of the axles so no need for a diff drop kit. The price is a little more but not much and the shock can still function the way it's supposed to. After 10,000 miles on the collar lift, I've been really impressed with it. I have no affiliation with Westcott, just really impressed with the collar style lift.
So I take it no one has had an issue with any of the electronics getting out of whack after leveling? (for I assume if anyone did we would be hearing about it?) I called a reputable installer and they told me that a leveling kit on the 2022's will cause sensor misreadings and other issues once it is no longer raked? Doesn't sound right to me but want to throw it out there as I received my 2" level kit today and want to install it to accomodate my Nitto Terra 295/70r18 AT AND get a little more clearance for offroad. Comments would be welcomed!
Why not unbolt the UCA to make it easier to get the coilover out? I know on the drivers side you need to remove the airbox and ECU to do it, but we're talking about a clamp a few clips, and some plugs.
I know I am late to the party but I just have to say I am not a fan of spacer lifts. I’ve done a lot of off roaring with off roading clubs and I’ve seen tons of vehicles break down in the middle of nowhere because it had a spacer lift. Here is four reasons why I think they’re a terrible idea. 1.) Your ball joints are your limiting devise on down travel and will wear them out or break them. 2.) your bump stop is no longer is the up travel limiting factor, your shock is and will cause your shock to fail on a large hit. 3.) the upper control arm can make contact with your strut or springs causing wear on the shock and control arms. 4.) the over extended down travel can cause your CV axles to over extend and wear faster than expected or break while flexed off road. If you were going to do it do it right. You’ll thank yourself later.
I’m having Trouble lining up the lower end of the Strut with the control arm , anyone else who was able to solve the issue? I’ve tryed prying it but bent every pry bar I used

Rough Country has a few lifts for this 2022 Tundra . Up to 3.5 lift nice too

I appreciate this!!! Ordered the part from your link and installed in 2 hours!
That was helpful. I may buy these spacers until I get my lift kit as well.
These videos are great! I just got a 22 Tundra, and I want to do some mods and these types of videos are perfect! Keep it up👍
Thanks for the clear puck installation!
great work bud! i have order mine. lunar rock limited with trd and your videos are treat to watch whilst i wait for my delivery.

Love watching the work Mike, but would not do myself. Nice work!
Can’t Waite for the 35s!
truck looks great!
Wow looks amazing !

I have a sport and started around 20.5 in front and ended up around 23 . My rear was also 23.5 prior now it’s closer to 23 after ..
Looks great. Can you give me the link to the 2 inch spacers you bought? Thanks.

I'm planning to upgrade suspension when better options are available so I figured I'd save a little money in the meantime to use toward that.

What part is your floor jack on? I see the jack stands are at the jack points.
well they voices your warrant if you do 3" lift
by the way it look great on your truck thanks for sharing with us.

Loooks wonderful!! Then you got some Fierce MTs!
Do the second gen spacer kits work on the 1794 trims with or without AVS/air ride suspension?

Good video. What tires were they?
Goodyear Fierce Attitudes in 35x12.5
@@DrivenCompanion they loook good. Can’t wait for the videos
Do you need to have an alignment done ?
Yes Absolutely, anytime you add or make any adjustments on front suspension it must be re-aligned
Yes, should have mentioned that at the end.
Can we get an update?
I’m literally stuck at the part where i have to put the bottom of the strut back into the control arm. What the hell!
I’m having Trouble lining up the lower end of the Strut with the control arm , anyone else who was able to solve the issue? I’ve tryed prying it but bent every pry bar I used
U should be loos the upper ball joints control arm to and not the bottom… u maybe need alignment now
Years later, cv axels are pulled out and he's wondering why it's leaking. Diff drop missed! (the guy he sold it to inherited an issue)
Amazon already charging 20%+ inflation since you got your spacers.
Toyota have the sloppiest feeling front end. The steering feels loose no matter what you do. Compared to other they don’t feel as nice 😊
Hell yeah. Zero torque specs.
