    I got my lift in today and I'm unpacking everything and there are no instructions. It came from toytec. Anyway I want a full 3 inches in the front and I was told to set the c clip at .85. Which one is .85? There are no marks. The clip is currently on the bottom so I assume that's 0.

    I'm far from an expert, but I believe it goes 0" - 0.85" - 1.75" - 2.5" from the bottom up.

    So if I want 3 inches I set it on 2.5 and the 1/2 inch top spacers that came in the kit?

    sure, so long as you are using stock coils .... hope you have aftermarket UCA's!

    Did the Toytec kit come with new coil springs? If so, set it at either 0 or .85. If you are re-using the stock springs, 2.5" + spacer would give 3". You will have no caster when lifted that high, however.

    Yes it came with coils. I wasn't thinking when I posted earlier that I should set the clip at 2.5. So .85 with the new coils. One more question. What side does the lean spacer go? I thought I read that it goes on the passenger side but when I measure my driver side is 1/2 in lower than the passenger side.

    ^The 1/4" spacer (which raises ride height by ~1/2") goes on the driver's side.
