Lifting my Limited

Hello everyone. I'm new to the board and this is my first post, although I've drooled over your rides in the past. :)

The Right Toyota dealership in Scottsdale referred me to a company called Total Auto Pros (http://www.totalautopros.com/) --- they are the only people who I've found to lift my 2011 Limited so far.

Here is the Truxxx Kit we plan on using:

Does anyone have any suggestions or warnings as to why I shouldn't go with this kit? Please keep in mind that my rig has X-REAS. My 2007 Sport had X-REAS and I used a daystar leveling kit with no problems.

Thanks again.

Does anyone have any suggestions or warnings...



The only warning I have is to those members viewing the above site/link at work... Turn down the volume on your speakers! Found out the hard way:gun4:

Sorry I couldnt contribute anything worthwhile regarding your thread though, T4RAZ
 
Well I dropped off my rig for the lift. I feel pretty good about it. As long as they don't remove the shocks or disconnect any lines from the factory suspension (for X-REAS) we should be good.

I will post photos in the sticky thread. :) WOOT I'm so jazzed and look forward to seeing my ride. :)
 
Let us know how it works (and pics too please). According to the other thread linked above, the Truxx rear spacers don't fit. I'd love to do this lift on my 2011 Limited if it works.
 
Removing the shocks makes it much easier . There are area's to disconnect that and re-connect it without issue. I did it many time's on my 4R Sport (06).

Cant wait to see some pics and hope all goes according to planned .
 
X-reas

Anxious to see the final product. I hear that if X-REAS is discharged, cost 800.00 for Toyota to recharge the system. May be a myth . . .

If your guys doing the lift know what they're doin you should be good to go. BTW did you ask your guys if they had any experience with xreas system?
 
Seriously it's just a myth and the also cannot "recharge" the system. Everyone including most of the "highly trained techs" at the dealer don't even know how Xreas works . I ran into the same thing time and time again til I found the right tech and he showed me where to disconnect and never had an issue.

Disclaimer: YES YOU NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO DISCONNECT IT .
 
Love it. That really does look great.

I'm looking at my rim / tire options now...did the 285s fit ok on the stock rims?

Now you have me thinking about a lift for my Limited...
 
That looks awesome!!! I have never seen the 20" Limited rims look better. The lift and the tires are great.
 
@CaptGoldtop - The 285s seem to fit fine. DiscountTire is pretty corporate and they didn't have any concerns.

@All - Thanks for the compliments. I'm stoked about it. I wish I could go up North instead of being stuck in the office. :)

I had some slight rubbing after I put the tires on and before the lift. My installer said they pushed some plastic back and it's not rubbing anymore. I think they just remove one of the inner plastic panels, but I'm not sure.

It turned out great though!

How did your installer install the rear Truxxx 1.25" spacer? My installer and the engineer at Truxxx said it would not fit because there is no counterbore on top of the bumpstop for the spacer to locate and if you put the spacer on with the bumpstop on top going thru the spacer you would have the metal of the bumpstop coming in contact with the coil spring.
It cost me $80 for the 4Wheel shop to drop the rear end and then tell me it won't work! I called Truxxx and was told the same. But your truck looks great.
 
Looks Great! What is your total height to the roof rack? I want to do the same to my Limited but I still have to be able to fit in my parkade which is 6' 6".
 
@sporty87 - my installer mentioned some kind of modification they had to do in the rear. I asked if worst case the lift didn't work, would we be able to replace the modded parts and be back to stock and his answer was yes. I'm sorry I forgot the part name. They are like $75 each to replace though. My installer was from "Total Auto Pros" (totalautopros.com | (602) 280-7767) and I was working with Scott. He said he spoke with Truxxx in detail.
