DUMPED THE SPACERS FOR COIL-OVERS

To all concerned. Thanks for bashing the hell out of me and making me see the light. I ordered ToyTec coil-overs which use bilstein 5100 shocks. Should be in by the end of the week and installed by the weekend. Leaving the Fabtech AAL as is in the rear. You guys think I should leave the 1" diff drop in. The ToyTec coil-over Im setting at 2.5 inches of lift.

 

I would try it without the diff drop and see if you have any vibes.

 

OP: this is the thread Ben's referring to:

thanks guys when I do the install I will remove the diff drop. ToyTec stated that I could use the oem uca's. The coil overs adj up to 3.5" Im only going to 2.5" You think the oem uca's are fine or do you think its worth it to do chaos uca's or similar

 

I would go with aftermarket UCA's. TC's would be a good choice.

 

I have 3" toytecs and no uca and its fine...rides a little stiff though..

 

kinda tapped out from the coil overs so I'll hold off on uca and see how it goes

 

i think i bashed you on a different thread. im not sure if it was you or not. but i didnt read where you said you finally realized the difference so i said you failed but i failed to read the whole thread so i fail.

anyways.

im glad you read up on some accurate information on coilovers

 

no problems I appreciate all the help

 

if you already have the diff drop in there, just leave it there... it's not likely to do you much harm being in there, and if you ever decide to crank them coilovers up to 3" at least you will have the diff drop in there...

when installing the coilovers, i vote you throw the swaybar out of there too for an easier ride...

 

And at ~$20, it's less expensive than a traditional oil change.
