Toytec Lift Before & After Photos!

Before:

After:




And probably the most amazing thing is that I did it myself. Alright, in the interest of full disclosure, it was me and a buddy of mine who just happens to be a professional mechanic. I paid him in Coors Light. It took us about 6 hours and a 12 pack. Oh yes, and that "If I have to squat for another minute my knees are going to lock in this position forever" breakaway to Burger King. I believe in the true healing power of the Texas double whopper with jalapenos.

Toytec 3" Spacer Lift with AAL's in the rear. Those monster paws on the truck are BFGoodrich All Terrains - 285-70-17R's

Please give me some props...seriously...I suffer from severe mechanical deficits, but I can drive it like I stole it through and over anything.

So how did I do folks???

 

Nice! Good job on the install!

 

I just cannot explain how much I love this truck now. My wife, Ashley, was flat out jealous when I got the truck home because I kept going out to look at it and polish it up (new coat of wax)!!

I have yet to test it out, but am certain it will have a new edge on it! Thanks for the props.

 

The truck looks great! Awesome job. Not bad timing either. Took me almost 6 hours without the beer. Maybe there lies the problem.

 

looks great, im assuming you needed wheel spacers to make the stock wheels work? also new uca's? Lookimg to lift my dc lb sport soon

 

Are you planning on keeping the stock wheels?

 

I like it way better, truck is bad ass

 

Funny you should mention that about the wheels. Everything is stock underneath. I do not have any problems rubbing the body even though it was CLOSE before I lifted her. The problem comes in turning. About the last 15% of the turning radius makes the tires rub the UCA. I have gotten used to it and tend to avoid small parking lots and the like.

A snow storm was coming the day I got my new BFG's. Discount tire did not have 275's in stock so I opted to buy the 285's rather than risk driving home later in eight inches of snow and slush for 35 miles. I hardly notice it anymore. Eventually I will get aftermarket UCA's

 

looks amazing. Great job!!! Stock wheels look awesome. Those are some of my favorite tires.

 

Yeah...I am definitely keeping them. In the future I think I am going to black everything out - wheels, badges, and toyota emblem on the grille.

 

I personally think that would look BAD ASS!

 

im putting this exact same lift on here in a day or 2, didnt know how much a a diff it was gonna make, but im putting on the same tire size and everything and i am now thinkin it will be money well spent

 

Looks good man! Once you get the new uca's your alignment spec.'s will be better and you won't be rubbing the uca either.

 

Looks GREAT! I love 285's on stock wheels! I am gonna do it on mine I think!

 

red tacomas are the shiz-nit!!!

 

Looks excellent. I'm running just about the same lift and have stock TRD Sport wheels and you'll rub on a whole different set of things if you go with wheel spacers but it's just plastic and some trimming. Then, with the wider stance, you'll never be able to stop looking at 'er!

 

I didn't know that size BFG came with the white lettering.....

Truck looks good

 

It makes a huge difference! You will love it.
