New Factory Lift Kit Enhances Toyota Tundra’s Off-Road Chops

• The Toyota Tundra is now offered with a factory-backed lift kit that adds an extra 2.6 inches of ground clearance.

• The $3995 dealer-installed kit includes Bilstein monotube shocks and new upper control arms from Roush Performance.

• Unlike many aftermarket kits, Toyota’s package is designed to be compatible with the Tundra’s standard driver-assistance features like forward-collision warning.

Toyota truck fans with a penchant for off-roading and $70,000 to spare can already buy the capable and brawny-looking Tundra TRD Pro. But for those looking to save some coin while still tackling challenging terrain, Toyota is now offering a factory lift kit for lower-priced, non-TRD Tundra models. Crafted by Toyota Racing Development, the kit provides the truck with an extra 2.6 inches of ground clearance, thanks to new parts like Bilstein monotube shocks in the front and rear.

Toyota says these shocks use digressive pistons to balance high-speed stability with low-speed body control. Along with the new shocks, the package adds taller front coil springs—painted red and tuned by TRD—and forged upper control arms from Roush Performance, known for its aftermarket parts for vehicles including the Ford F-150 and Mustang. The kit also brings lots of other gear, with front extended driveshafts, rear spring spacers, and front stabilizer links, as well as new lower knuckles, bump stops, and outer tie rods.
