Just got my 2024 Platinum Tundra (non-hybrid), and I love it! The only thing missing is that 3-inch lift I wanted. Any recommendations for lift kits on the 3rd gen Tundras? Looking for something that’s reliable and won’t mess with the ride too much. Thanks in advance!
I’d go with Bilstein 5100s if you’re on a budget. They handle great and make the truck ride like a dream.

I don’t think they have 5100s for the 3rd gens yet, do they?

Good point, they might not. In that case, the 8112s could be a solid option.
I’ve got the Dobinsons setup on mine—did a 2/1 lift with 35s and Icon UCAs. Really happy with how it handles.
Wescott lift with some 35s or 37s would look awesome on that truck!

Does the Toyota Safety Sense still work with that lift? Do you need to recalibrate it?

I believe it works without needing any recalibration, but double-check just to be safe.
I went with the 3” ReadyLift and 35s. It’s been awesome so far. Haven’t taken it off-road yet, but it rides smooth on the street.

How’s the gas mileage with the lift? Noticeable difference?
@Venice
Yeah, it definitely dropped. Went from 18 to about 15 in the city and from 19.5 to 16 on the freeway. Still got good power, though.

Good to know, thanks!
If you’re keeping it mostly on the street, block lift kits are pretty affordable. But if you’re doing off-road stuff, a full suspension upgrade is worth it. Bilsteins are solid for light off-roading too.
For the lifted look and to fit bigger tires, ReadyLift and Wescott are great options. But if you’re serious about off-roading, go for a proper suspension like Icon, Eibach, or even King 2.5s if you’re willing to spend more.
Fox 2.0 lift kit is pretty legit. I’ve had it on my ‘12 for 5 years without any issues.
Rough Country has been awesome for me. I’m running Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 35s, and I get a ton of compliments. Looks like it should’ve come that way from the factory.

Got the 3.5” Rough Country lift on my Tacoma—super happy with it! Planning to get it for my Tundra next.

Same here! I’ve got the RC M1 struts and spacer in the rear, and I’m running Nitto Recon Grapplers. Smooth ride, even the family likes it.
