3” TRD Lift Stop Sale

Negotiated the TRD 3” lift and install with the purchase of my ‘24 Platinum TRD OR. Called the dealer to see when they expected the lift in when I was told they didn’t have anything coming in. They looked into it and told me there’s a stop salebut no other information was available.

Contacted my local service center who dug into it for me a little deeper. They said there’s an issue when installing on the 24’s. Information only. But if anyone hears anything let’s update here.

 

Something is off with this!

What changed in the models? Your truck would have the same suspension that mine has so maybe something with the CV’s that they didn’t like or the sensors not calibrating after the height change?

If you really want a liftthere are many suppliers in the aftermarket or you could grab a take off TRD Pro suspension from the marketplace.

Also the dealer installed lift is quite pricy compared to everything else out there. Make sure they don’t charge you for it in your deal.

 

Yea. I got the price down to where I was happy then negotiated the lift and install at that same price.
Initially I was thinking they were trying to scam me out of ithoping I wouldn’t be willing to make the drive back to them for the install. That’s when I called the local dealer to see if they could order it. Parts guy who was super helpful saw the stop sale order and called over to Toyota corporate. That’s all he reported to me was something changed and there’s issues with the install.

I had the same thought about “what could have changed?” One conclusion I came to is that nothing changedbut maybe the issue is with the TRD skid plate not being compatible with the lift. I’ve read on the those aren’t compatible (kind of a significant oversight IMO). Pure speculation though.

 

I’ve been told it has to do with one of the install tools required for the kit. Sounds like it failed in some applications so they stopped selling until they can figure it out

 

This is true in Canada as well ! My kit is at the dealership but won’t see truck for another month . They should have tooling figured out by then . It was a Narrow miss apparently !

 

@ryanwgregg ahgood info. Thanks for the heads up. That makes sense since I know they’re still doing the at the factory. Hopefully pushing out a fix to dealerships sooner than later.

 

I thought for a minute the strut bearings where going bad on these lift kits…

 

yupthey came in the store and took the claws off machine. don't understand why u can't go to another shop to compress coil?

 

Mine is 2024 w/ the TRD lift from the factory. Maybe true the dealerships need the correct tools to install but as far as compatibility is concerned if the factory can do it seems to be OK. Had no issues with mine. Only annoyance was at the factory they remove factory fog lights to ensure compliance with a few random state laws but no big deal just installed new ones in 5 minutes.

 

What do you have to do to fix this? Just install new bulbs? Mine comes within the next weeklift added at the factory.

 

Just buy foglights from someone here that are new and they just took off for a swap. Little plastic thing comes off on the bumperplug them in2 boltsput back together and done. 5 minutes tops.

 

I've got some oem fog lights for sale if anyone's interested.

 

another note 3' trd lift rides so much better then trd pro lift (to me )

 

So truck will be here Thursday . Lift is on the shelf waiting . Wheels and tires are waiting . I suggested I take the coil over kits and get them assembled somewhere else . No liability ? They install kit with coil overs compete . Nope ,stop sale means they can’t invoice a kit . Although they would have

Hmm can I fit 295/70/18’s on +10 wheels . I’m going to test fit on the 23 tomorrow for shits and giggles lol . I might get away with new tires on stock wheels until the Toyota farm figures it out . Kinda bummed about it all !

 

Hmmwonder if you can still order one from the OEM sites that show them in stock. I was debating it but i'm just going to wescott level until I need new tires.

 

They can’t generate an invoice for a TRD lift without getting flagged . My lift has been on the shelf at the dealer for months . I wanted to secure it lol ! I’m sure you can order the kit just can’t get it installed . ManI miss the ole days ffs !

 

Thanks for the infoI am going to ask my dealer about it when my truck arrives in a few weeks. I'm really wondering how much they'll want for the install$2,500 for the kit is fair.

 

Picked up my new truck today and got some news on the stop sale . I heard that the fix is complete for the lift but they have to get back all the faulty jaws for the old spring compressor before releasing new ones to dealers . They don’t want a mixup and the wrong ones used again . Fact or fiction I dunno but a Toyota big shot was visiting the dealership this week and the news came from him . Hopefully it’s true so I can get that lift on and the wheels and tires soon.

 

Fingers crossed. I just checked this thread a few days ago looking for any updates

 

I just got a 2024 Limited crewmax and got a quote for the install of the TRD 3" Lift kit. The dealership said it's 20 hours of labor at a rate of $135 an hour for a total of $2700. Labor rates may vary by location I'm guessing.

 

i think its due to the spring compressor problem at dealersthey are taken out of service.

 

Has anyone received updates on where this is at?

 

They should just supply it built anyhowit's just the top cap thats needed and it's not adjustable.

 

Subscribed. Wanting to add the Toyota 3” TRD lift as well.

 

Hate paying for something that’s hung up on a (beep beep) tool !!!! Those of us that financed the lift and are paying for something we don’t have or have access too should be compensated imo . I’ll install it myself if they would release the damn thing Grrrrrrr !!

 

The dealership I bought my truck from has started to install the Readylift 3" system since they cannot install the TRD lift. Has anyone installed that liftand if sowhat is your experience with it? I'm really leaning towards the TRD lift as it more of a complete systembut that price tag will put a dent in the wallet.

 

No experience with ready lift.

My dealership offered to have an outside shop “install a 3in lift they say has all the same parts”. I opted to wait. I negotiated the lift into my deal after I got the price down to where I was happy even without the lift. If nothing else to have it warrantied

 

If I had negotiated the lift into my purchase of the truckI'd definitely would wait to have the TRD lift installed. I have not found another manufacturer's lift kit that offers the same parts and achieves the lift the same way as the TRD lift. It appears most lift kit manufacturers have a differential drop bracket included to avoid binding of the CV jointswhere the TRD lift provides new axles. There are a few other componentssuch as rear brake line that are longerand I believe a way to correct the lower ball joint angle. I do not see those parts included in other lift kits.

 

That is what I found also when looking into it. After I was able to get it into my contactI stopped researching other options.

 

Have not had this lift but have had ready lift before on another truck . Did not like it . It is usually a spacer lift for the money have y’all looked into kings or fox . I am currently running kings and I love them
