Toyota Factory Lift Kit???

[enjoi1018]

I believe that I came across a member a couple of weeks ago that said they have a Toyota Factory Lift Kit. I want to say that it lifted his rig around 3 inches, and it was also installed by his Toyota dealer. Does this kit in fact exist? And if so, does it work with the existing warrenty? Thanks guys!

I don't follow the mods to closely so I would recommend a search in the forums.

Having said that, Welcome and Happy New Year!!!

I don't know of a factory kit, but the dealerships have been installing the OME kits.

My dealership here in AZ said they would NOT install the OME kit for me. They had what they called the "TRD Approved" kit, which was a 2" spacer lift. He later came back and said they would put the Revtek (sp?) leveling kit on for me (also spacers), but that was the only other option.

I know people have had extremely varied experiences with dealerships and warranties, but the service manager at my dealership told me that at 2" to 3", the lift wouldnt be a problem, unless there was something that was clearing a lift related issue. He said that even in that case they would likely fix it for me once, then I would be on my own if I had the problem again.

Thanks for all your help! I think I found my member I was looking for, and the thread. It was LandCruiserSteve's OME kit that was installed by a Toyota dealer. I must've made the common mistake of reading too quickly and thinking OEM instead of OME...... oops......

But while I am thinking about it, which one of the OME kits would you guys recommend? I know there is a "heavy" and maybe a "medium" (?)...... what's the difference?

The difference is the weight the springs can take. If you are running stock or just an aftermarket bumper on the front end, medium would be fine. I believe their is even a light set which would be if you wanted a soft ride. If you go with a winch or just a heavier model bumper (ARB, Road Armor), or you like a really, REALLY stiff ride, Heavy is the way to go.
