Toyota Tundra Rear Spacer Install!

[@MrAjay3234]

Good job buddy I am happy with your content and honesty. Makes average guys like myself confident to do it myself. ✊🏻

[@kccreations5945]

You e got it man!

[@robertfortner5782]

The fuel tank if pretty full will cause the lean on drivers side.

[@veronicaserrato9827]

Hi it looks great l! Great job and prompts to your wife for helping! Keep up the Tundra videos. Have a nice one.

[@Jason-ms4gb]

The differential in height comes from the 38 gallon tank on the driver side.

I’m 3 years late to this video and genuinely felt uplifted and inspired 🫡

Doing mine on Saturday. Hope the fronts go smoother. Thx for the insight,

@@miketyler4536 you’ve got this man! Glad to help!

[@Eric-fv4vv]

Thanks I just got a leveling kit on my 14 and I just got new shocks and struts. Now the front sets up a little higher which I'm not a fan of so I might need to do this..👍

[@kccreations5945]

@@Eric-fv4vv it definitely helps with that! Could also do airbags which gives you infinite adjustability! I have a video on those it was the same process just put in an airbag instead of a block and run the air line!

Same torque specs I use. LOL I try to use two to three umps when its suspension bolts. But 90+ lbs on the torque wrench works too. I just installed a Rough Country (RC) 2.5" - 3" level in front of my 1794. I went with all the shims and that put me way high. After contacting RC they said take all the shims out and should be level, nope! I still have to install a 1.5" block for the rear. So I just got the blocks for the rear and can't wait to install. Hopefully it'll be close to level or else I'll have to install shim by shim in front to level. Of course I'm planning on an alignment but not until after upgrading to 33" tires. Thanks for the heads up videos.

[@dhsw41800]

Nice video thanks. How is the ride for daily use and on bumpy surfaces? I see a lot of lift videos but no one talks about the ride after the lift. I really want to level out my 4x4 DC, but I don’t want to comprise the factory ride with squeaky noises and a harsh ride from the lift.

[@baine5.7]

So if you have 3 inch spacer on the front , I heard that stock shocks extend to much, now my question is would adding bilstein 5100 help this ? because it can be adjusted from o.85 to 2.5 inches. Thanks

[@mikegent2676]

Fuel tank on the driver side leans there's a spacer that you can put on the driver side. Some people call it the tundra lean..

[@rke1987]

Did you get an alignment after? That may fix the heighy difference

[@gordoelkis]

Getting my done next week,taking it to a profesional shop 2020 Tundra

[@dproulx7380]

Jose Moreno how much they going to charge you for that job the tundra definitely looks bad ass with lvling kit

[@wasachevyguy]

Look up Tundra lean! It’s a thing! My rear drivers side is lower than the passenger side after I installed my Bilstein shocks.

[@kccreations5945]

Really?? I hadn’t heard of that! I’ll look into it. I really appreciate the feedback!

[@wasachevyguy]

@@kccreations5945 You bet. I think maybe having the battery and the gas tank on the same side needs to be accounted for. I think the factory setup is different on the left and right side of the truck.

[@kccreations5945]

@@wasachevyguy Yeah I'm sure that plays a role. I also thought about since there is a driver always in the vehicle those shocks may have slightly more fatigue than the other side which could impact it a bit too I imagine.

[@LEVIPU]

Can i have a link of the same exact kit please? I can’t see it on the link provides on the description, i appreciate it

[@Sophara.R33]

I did 1’’ 3/4 on my Tundra and it’s sit at 39 in the front and 39 and a quarter in the rear.I think it’s perfect….

[@rnb0234]

hi buddy after the 1 rear block whats the measurement in the front and in the back? I have the same year truck thinking about the same thing.

[@f5fstop]

You do not have to jack up the rear. Leave vehicle on the tires, slide under, remove the four nuts from plate, remove bottom shock mounting bolt, remove the plate, place jack with a piece of wood under the spring, just in front of the spring perch and jack up high enough to place the spacer in place, lower jack, making sure pin and hole align. Install new u-bolts, plate and nuts. Torque to spec. Replace bottom shock bolt...torque. The tire on the ground will also help keep the axle in the correct position. Possibly, may not work on a non 4x4 that already has some clearance; or if the person is too fat.

[@kccreations5945]

Also an option, but hey if you gotta get the jack out anyway might as well give yourself some room!

[@robbierob187]

You have you buy a 1/4 shim plate to correct the lean. It’s like $30 online it’s known with the tundra to happen after a mini lift

[@kccreations5945]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

[@markdejonge9143]

Hope you can help me out with my truck. Having an issue after leveling kit install. Are the rear blocks square or tapered? Mine are tapered.

[@kccreations5945]

Mine were not tapered but from what I read the tapered ones are better so that's awesome! I believe they taper down towards the front but don't quote me on that! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@markdejonge9143]

@@kccreations5945 I fixed my truck. The fat part of the tapered block goes towards the rear.

Hi I bought a 2019 tundra TSS package.i installed the front 1/3/4 spacer and is to Hight.now I don’t know 🤷 what size block to put in the rear

[@kccreations5945]

I installed a 1 inch block in the rear and it leveled the truck out after putting a 3 inch block in the front. Hope that helps!

[@carmenrosas5805]

So do you have 3 inch spacer in front and one inch block on the back? I want to get a lift for my tundra to. I heve 2011 crewmax. ​@kccreations5945

[@stevenjacobs6934]

Great vid, love that color

[@pauldimascho964]

I'm able to get a very realistic feedback from your video. I think I can do the same for my tundra with your video.

[@kccreations5945]

You can for sure! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@maxbet3997]

Once the suspension settles in the height will be a bit more symmetrical

[@kccreations5945]

It has definitely settled now since we’ve put on 15,000 miles! But I think it’s about the same, the Tundras are known for having a little bit of a height difference!

[@maxbet3997]

@@kccreations5945 good to know. This is the first tundra I own. I’ve had plenty of 4runners. Really like that grey. I was between grey and Calvary blue. I ended up with the Calvary. BTW Your video is very helpful.

[@kccreations5945]

@@maxbet3997 oh man I love that Calvary blue too! Great choice! Glad to help man! Apparently on the front you can buy a shim to put on the low side and it makes up the difference but I didn’t know about this before hand. Just FYI! It’s such a small difference it really doesn’t matter but it’s an option!

[@josuemedina5902]

Got the link to the part?

[@mosemiller4856]

Nice I’m thinkin of doing the same thing to my 2016 crew max , very helpful

[@kccreations5945]

Go for it! You'll love it!

[@austincooper9869]

Most likely lower on the driver side because the gas tank is on that side

[@satx981]

Have you had any issues with your 3 inch spacer in the front? Had mine installed recently...anything i should be worried about?

[@kccreations5945]

No I haven’t and am still running it!

[@dixonsantana-lamboy8432]

The driver side will sit lower on the Tundra due to the fuel tank being on the driver side. There is a company by the name of "Coachbuilder" who make a shim to solve this issue. It's very inexpensive and makes the truck level from side to side.

[@kccreations5945]

That's awesome I'll definitely look into that! Thanks for the comment and watching!

[@jamessnipes6808]

Hey man, I had the same problem with my 07 tundra after I installed the 3" front leveling kit, none of the measurements matched up though it was on level ground with equal tire pressure and all new shocks if that makes a difference, must be a tundra thing. I am about to install the 1" rear leveling blocks so thank you for the awesome video!!

[@kccreations5945]

Good to know I’m not alone! So glad it was helpful and I hope you love the look of your truck!

[@jamessnipes6808]

@@kccreations5945 So I finally installed mine today and I think its worth noting the nuts that come with ready lift kit are actually 21mm vrs the stock nuts which are 19mm. Luckily I had a 21mm but not everyone does. Also the blocks were about 1/2" off from the pin coming down from the leaf springs when seated in the axel but once I raised the axel it forced the block in place, thought summit had sent me the wrong part once again. Thanks again for the great video man, it was a big help!! Lastly I measured my friends F-250s height all around and it was off just like our tundras, must be a weight distribution thing...

[@kccreations5945]

@@jamessnipes6808 Yeah that is good to not on the socket size! Thanks for pointing that out! Also super interesting the f-250 is off too, thanks for relaying that info that's really good to know! Thanks for watching man, and I'm glad the video helped out!

[@Wicho4414]

Great job, have you had any problems with vibration?

[@markdejonge9143]

How tall of a Jack stand do you need to raise the backend? I think I need to invest in a taller set of stands. Did you raise truck with Jack under rear differential or by the frame?

[@kccreations5945]

I need taller ones too since I only have ones for smaller vehicles. I used a jack with a block of wood on top of it to jack the truck up from the differential. And then used my jack stands on the frame kind of close to the center of the truck so they would reach for when I needed to lower the axel down to put in the spacer block.

[@grysnlvfr]

Looks nice, did you need to get your front wheels aligned afterwards?

[@kccreations5945]

Hey Randall! Yes I did get an aligment afterwards since I adjusted the lower cam bolts on the lower control arm. And even with marking where they were when I took it in for the alignment he said it was way off still so definitely factor that into your budget! I got mine done at Firestone since they offer a lifetime free alignment after you pay $180 for the first one. Then the rest are free. So that was nice. Thanks for watching!
