Bruce – I believe the instructions are referring to a “body lift.” Body lifts are a special kind of lift where the body itself (all the exterior panels) are “lifted” off the frame. Body lifts allow you to put very large tires under a normal suspension. They’re a poor man’s lift kit. Because body lifts actually move the body of the vehicle in relation to the engine, an aftermarket air intake might not work. For any other kind of lift or lowering kit, there’s no issue. This kit flips the rear axle and releases the pre-load tension in the front springs. The basic geometry of the vehicle is unchanged, hence my comment. There are no issues with using this kit alongside any number of aftermarket products. Think of this kit as a stock vehicle.

i got the K&N cold air intake. if i lower the truck would it hurt the K&N intake. on instruction it said it won’t fit if body is lifted. now you said the payload and towing be the same cause it won’t move the suspension. that mean the i be lowering the truck body then.

Bob – Not at all. If installed correctly, the kit will have no impact on the operation of your truck. The axle is being attached to the top of the leaf springs instead of the bottom – not a significant change as far as the mechanical function is concerned.

I just had my 2009 Tundra CrewMax lowered with a Tundra Racing kit. My mechanic although it was the first time, had no problems with the installation and advised me that all parts were first class. I am certainly happy with the look of the vehicle being level without the original rake that I didn’t like.

To minimize sifting through all the info out there about lowering the Tundra, is there a kit for a 2003 Tundra? Thanks……….Craig

Fred – It’s not our kit. If you’re looking for stiffer springs, TRD has a kit as does McGaughy. http://www.mcgaughys.com

your kit looks good but i’d like to stiffen the front end so it’ll handle better
