What are Lift Kits? 

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s go over what a Toyota Tundra lift kit actually is. A lift kit is a chassis modification that is designed to “lift” your N Charlotte Toyota truck. There are multiple options you can choose from, but below are the most common N Charlotte Toyota Tundra lift kits.

  • Body Lift: Body lift kits are less common than suspension and leveling lift kits. Body lift kits don’t even touch the suspension to have more ground clearance. Instead, this increases the distance between the body and the frame of your N Charlotte Toyota truck. With this, your suspension will stay stock, and it’s not super popular for our off-roading lovers.
  • Suspension Lift: A suspension Toyota Tundra lift kit will increase the tire clearance in the front and back of your N Charlotte Toyota truck (rather than just the front). This allows you to have larger tires and more ground clearance, which is a win-win for off-roading. And, it just makes your new Toyota look super sporty, which never hurts anything. These kits will vary in size and you’ll literally have TONS of options to choose from.
  • Leveling Kit: When you first purchase your N Charlotte Toyota Tundra, you’ll notice that it has a “rake” in its suspension. This is basically when the front end of the truck sits a little bit lower than the rear (this happens naturally due to the engine’s weight). With this Toyota Tundra lift kit, you’ll be able to lift the front end so that it sits evenly with the rear of the truck. You’ll have more ground clearance and bigger and better tires to rock your N Charlotte Toyota.

Also, when you purchase a Toyota Tundra lift kit, you might want to or have to adjust other parts of your truck, too. Having a lift kit could make you have to purchase modifications like brake lines, driveshafts, differential and transfer cases, and ring gears. That’s why we recommend bringing your ride to Toyota of N Charlotte to get it leveled up.

Which Toyota Tundra Lift Kit is for You? 

Now that you know what Toyota Tundra lift kit you might go with, it’s time to get into which one is best for your needs. Below is what the experts at Toyota of N Charlotte have to say!

If you’re trying to decide between a lift kit and a leveling kit, ask yourself the following:

  • Are you going for an aesthetic appeal? If so, then you’ll want to opt for a leveling kit so that it’ll balance out your ride and give it a more aggressive look to it.
  • On the other hand, if you are going to tackle some rough off-roading terrain, then you’ll want to opt for a lift kit. This will help you go rock crawling, flying through mud and sand, and driving on rocky mountain trails with that extra height so you don’t wreck the bottom of your ride.

So, you’ve selected the lift kit, but want a few more tips? Check it out below!

  • If you’re tackling rocks, then you’ll need a 6-inch lift kit.
  • If you’re going on moderate trails, then a 2-inch lift should help.
  • And, if you’re tackling larger rocks and stumps, then you’ll need an extra 3-4 inches.
