Tuff Country
What it fits: '99-'01 Toyota Tundra
Amount of lift: 4 1/2 inches
The details: This kit allows installation of 33x12.50 tires, and this helps to make a great vehicle even better. It retains the use of the stock coils and struts, but uses upper coil and strut spacers. A new complete one-piece lower subframe is used to lower the frontend to proper geometry. Also included are ball-joint spacers, differential drop brackets, steering adapter kit, rear brake proportioning valve bracket, antiroll-bar drop brackets, rear suspension blocks, and U-bolts.
What it fits: 2000-'01 Chevy/GMC K2500 HD
Amount of lift: 6 inches
The details: A custom spindle makes this EZ-Ride kit unique, and it offers a more positive offset on the tire-and-wheel combination, thus not limiting the consumer to a small variety of tire and wheel combinations. Another benefit of this spindle is that its design allows for proper frontend tracking to keep the frontend in the stock position. Tuff Country engineers also integrated the front and rear crossmember into one subframe. Both of these items are said to make the assembly of the kit go much faster than other kits; indeed, Tuff Country says that the kit installs in half the time of other kits. The kit also includes upper differential drop brackets, torsion bar drop blocks, rear blocks, U-bolts, and full-length add-a-leaves.
