- Hey guys, Brad here with Custom Offsets.
Got another episode of Hot n New Suspension.
This one's going to be a Toyota lift.
This one, in particular, is a Zone 5"
and this is going to fit 2007 to 2015 Tundras
(techno music)
Like I said, this is going to be five inch, not a six inch.
We're going to run through the components with you,
so you can just kind of get an idea of
what comes in these kits.
The biggest thing you see right here,
obviously these huge a#& forged knuckles,
the lift knuckles that you're gonna get with this
kit which are gonna help you maintain your proper
ball joint angles on the top and the bottom.
As well as lower the, hub mounting surface there
will actually give you lift out of the truck.
The other things is, these, as you can see,
these are pretty beefy quarter inch plate
sway bar drop brackets, they're gonna lower
the sway bar down for you to keep maintain
the factory angle on that.
As well as these here, which are actually kind of an
odd for people who don't see Toyota lifts.
But they seem to do this on Toyotas for some reason.
This is actually gonna be a strut extension
for the bottom of the strut.
Rather than a spacer on the top.
And that's what these two pieces are gonna be.
Here as well as, they give you, which is really nice.
They give you these brand new outer tie rod ends
so you don't have to cut, or shorten, or try and lengthen
the factory ones, they just give you a complete replacement.
I think Eric just fell over (rattling metal)
outside there, I think he's drunk, I'm not sure.
- [Man] Eric, you good? - Yep.
- [Brad] Why did you... - Get out of here.
(laughter)
Okay, anyway.
Back to this kit, this is on five inch that is.
Lots of hardware here, always get a lot of hardware,
always a lot of fun too.
Lower control arm drop drop crossmembers.
This is another key piece of the kit, you got your front
and rear lower control arm drop crossmembers.
Which are actually gonna have the differential which is
also gonna be lowered bolt to this.
There's no diff drop brackets, per-se because
the differential will actually use these
crossmembers to bolt to once it's dropped down.
And then lets see, one of the nice things about this kit
is they actually give you these,
these are gonna be some weld-in plates here.
Which are just gonna be some added bracing
to keep things in check and keep things
sturdy on the truck once everything is moved down
and you do have to cut some of the factory crossmembers
so Zone and BDS does this too,
they give you these weld-in braces.
It's just a nice added step that's probably not
necessary, a lot of the other brands don't do that.
But that's one of the extra steps that Zone and BDS take
to make sure that everything is done right
and everything is as strong as possible
in its new lifted location.
Moving on to the back, standard blocks for the rear,
and then these brackets here are actually gonna
be a bump stop relocation bracket for the rear bump stops.
And then the rear he rounded off, this customer got the
optional Fox Adventure Series 2.0 Shocks.
Toyotas are a little different, they include these little
pieces here which are actually gonna weld on
and it's actually a steering stop, you can get
a closeup later if you want and get them out of the bag.
But you actually weld it on to, it's actually gonna limit
your turning radius because Toyotas have an issue where
once you add bigger tires,
and you turn the tires want to run into the cab mount.
Because they moved the front cab mount super far
forward compared to any other truck.
So they actually give you these
stops here, which is actually nice.
Because then you're not gonna dig your tire
into your cab mount.
And then just the other little things that they
round off the kit with, like red locker,
good stuff so stuff doesn't come loose.
And that's gonna be it really for this kit.
Like I said this is gonna be a 5" Zone for
2007 to 15 Toyota Tundras, peace.
