Truxxx 2.5" Lift / Leveling Kit Install for my AWD Hyundai Palisade Overlanding KIA Telluride 4x4

[@vcolamonico]

Put a 2" lift from these guys (TRUXXX) on my 2023 Hyundai Kona SE. Not too hard to put on just the struts are always a hassle by themselves to get off and on. I put on larger all terrain tires and went a hair too big, so out came the sledge to the inside fender well & spray undercoat to stop the tires from rubbing ... now it's time plastidip to black out the wheels

[@directsound]

My Stock tires are almost done so the AT will ve on soon! I might have to give a few love taps to the wheel well as well but we will see 🤞🌴🤙

[@BACARD1BB]

They are called Nivomat self leveling, Volvo and Saab have been using them for years. Its just filled with hydraulic oil once you start driving it will adjust itself.

[@directsound]

Thanks

[@ksmiles5333]

I am going to do this to my 2020 kia telluride. I'm running TOYO AT3 right now awesome 3peak AT Tire.

[@directsound]

New tires coming soon!

@@directsoundAwesome videos. Did you get tires please share size and brand. After Lift do you see drop in MPG. Thanks

[@directsound]

@@devbhardwaj1048 not at all... not tires yet but I hope soon Nitto Nomad Grapplers

[@storagebox6577]

@@directsound Great what size Nitto Nomad Grapplers are you planning to get.

[@romagrigorenko]

Installed the 2 inch kit last month. And man, that sway bar reset up front is a huge pain.

[@directsound]

Right and on the ground to boot! And I'm Fat but now fit under my car so I guess that's a win!

[@romagrigorenko]

@@directsound I feel you. Had to bend myself on the ground in ways I didn’t think are possible. lol

[@directsound]

@@romagrigorenko I was right there with ya!

[@danjohnson5952]

Did you get an alignment afterwards ? And how does it drive?

[@directsound]

Yes and great! Give the alignment guy the specs in the instructions 🤙🌴

[@jimmunoz6455]

Nitto Nomad Grapplers are good tires if you planning on keeping the stock wheels

[@directsound]

Thanks

[@justinboone4787]

Where did you find all the torque specs and do you still have the list you can post?

[@directsound]

I just used Google lol, sorry I didn't save 🌴🤙

[@69Runner]

Nice job Mike, do they make aftermarket front struts?

[@directsound]

Not sure but I did see performance springs for it

[@RN-bb7qb]

Looks good , i have a 2023 Palisade calligraphy thinking to lift it but not sure if its a good idea or not cuz i had a 2021 highlander that i lifted but man it give me problems Do you had any problems sense you lifted it and what is your advice to me should I lift the 2023 palisade or not cuz i use it a lot on off road

[@directsound]

Works great not to high keeps the stock geometry. It's not a jeep but I can tackle aggressive fire roads lol

[@RN-bb7qb]

😂 thanx

[@69Runner]

Hi Mike good job i have a 2021 SEL i was thinking of doing that to mine plus all terrain tires. i have a question actually 2 maybe you can answer them lol first one is do you notice a vibration in the flood or gas pedal when going over bumps from the right side?? And second what do you think about no U joints on this truck do u think its tuff enough to handle off road?? thanks

[@directsound]

I have felt a little have at very low speed on Acceleration but only every once in a while. This happen even before the lift. I took it in and they didn't find anything wrong 🙃

[@hansenb25]

@directsound hey Mr DJ, can you send me a picture of the sway bar extension, how it attaches? I put mine in the bottom as well.

[@directsound]

Can do, let me take a pic 📸 where do I send it

[@R6_Nitty]

@@directsound I’ll take a pic or that sway bar extension

[@sundarasim4659]

Planning to install myself very soon. Is it possible to install by myself, or is it a 2 person job? Also, if you still have the sway bar photos, I'd love to see it since it sounds like the extensions can get installed incorrectly. Thx in advance

[@directsound]

Yes it will take some time but just ask Truxxx and they will text the pic lol I got it wrong twice! The swaybar I'd the hardest thing to get to because it has to be done on the ground

[@sundarasim4659]

@directsound I have some ramps that I use to change my oil. Hoping I can use those to put the suspension under load but also elevate off the ground

[@directsound]

@@sundarasim4659 I think that will work!

[@jesseh1376]

Looks great! I’ve got a 22 limited AWD with the tow package & I’m considering doing the Truxxx 306016 kit which is 2” front, 2.25” rear but there isn’t too much info on that kit as most people do the 306015 2” front & rear kit. I want the rear to be just slightly higher than the front but not too much higher. Did the 2.5” kit raise it evenly or did the rear go slightly higher than the front?

[@directsound]

Love the lift and it seems to be the same all the way around

[@cjeymburu9002]

Make a video of your palisade lifted with off road tires

[@directsound]

I will just as soon as I wear the stock tires out. I know what tire I want its just going to be a bit longer to get some new tires. I think I have 25000 on the sock ones now and the new tires will give me another 1.5" ground clearance 🌴🤙

[@hobonatilife9357]

sway bar link is wrong

[@directsound]

Yep and I even said that in the video. I moved it to the top but put it in upside-down as well and bent the link. So got new links and extensions and did it right this time by placing the extensions facing up. Hyundai wants $133 for a new link arm but I found 2 on ebay for about $40 and replaced them both. Wow that is the hardest part of the install tighten the sway bar when the car is on the ground. Thanks for the comment! 🌴🤙

[@aceryn2341]

Did you test the ground clearance after? I'm considering this kit.

[@directsound]

Going out tomorrow to see how it does!

[@yogyogcivic]

you didn't have to remove the axle nut and tie rod

[@directsound]

It said it in the instructions but I may have gotten it wrong! Just did the best we could, so far so good !

[@DJDaddy-O]

What's important Mike is that you don't have extra nuts and bolts laying around after you're finished. 😳 Seriously, nice job and it looks great.

[@directsound]

@@DJDaddy-O lol right!

[@aar0nsky]

Does this step require an alignment after removing?

[@fritzolivercabaral3401]

how is the ride? does it intefer with your sensors?

[@directsound]

Just like stock but up a bit higher!
