Toytec Boss 3"

Just got my 3" lift installed on my DCSB Off Road.

Here are a few before and after. So excited for more candy including rims, sliders, locking tailgate, ... list goes on and on

 

Nice! Is this a kit or did you piece it together?

Edit: Saw the title of the post.

 

I was about to get the same lift before my truck got in an accident, what eibach springs are those and you had to get a 1/2" spacer for a full 3" right? Did you have to get new uca's or did it align nicely? Sorry for the questions, and i know there are many topics on this, just making sure before i place my order

Truck looking good btw

 

I bought straight package from Toytec. Attached picture of the options I got. Also new calipers and rotors from brakeperformance.com. No spacers on the stock rims yet. Trying to decide between that or new rims. The stock tires look pretty good except for head on or straight behind. Truck looks a little skinny. Lol. Shop had crap ton of trouble aligning it. Luckily they treat me right and it's a flat rate job.

Lovin it! My truck had stock suspension with 82k and it drives better now than it did 3" shorter. Oh, btw, NO SACRIFICE in gas mileage as of yet. Still 16.5 avg.

 

Curious if there's any big difference between the Boss and Ultimate kit?

 

Keep us updated on the mpgs. I've been thinking about doing this lift but a guy I work with has 2.5" and 285s and he's getting 12-13 mpg.

 

KMitch: Not sure if there is a huge difference in the ultimate and Boss. When I called Toytec, their response was that the Boss was a bit more off road capable.

dilligaff82: Milage still stays between 15-18 but I'm running 265's on the stock rims. Last time out I got 14.9 but it's been snowing up here and I've been finding parking lots to go let the back end loose a bit. Lol

 

the only difference is that the front coil over shaft is larger so it can take more of a hard beating.

 

I called toytec, they said its the same exact kit just boss shocks instead of bilsteins.

 

Got my Boss kit installed in October. Running 265/70R17. Getting about 13mpg. I have pics on my build page, link is also in to sig

 

Do you have the typical taco lean? I installed mine a few months ago and no lean and now this past week i have taco lean. Just wondering if you have had any issues?

 

heres a pic of mine

 

No issues. Still level and still 16 mpg average.

Lovin it

 

Here is my before and after:

13mpg. Are you doing the calculations to account for your larger tires? You do know larger tires mess up your speedo and odometer...

 

His wheel/tire combo is now 1" larger than stock which will actually give him a correct speedo figure (stock reads high) and his odometer would be off (low) a hair over 3%. Meaning, if he got 350 miles to a tank he would have actually gone 361...reconfiguring the speedo/odometer won't change his mpgs hardly at all.

That's how I see it anyway using the tire calc comparison.

 

The calculation i'm doing is: I get between 300-315(really pushing it here) on a full tank of gas. Tacoma's have a 21 gallon tank so i divide that with what i'm getting. Between 13 and 14 mpg...
I don't know i never was a math wiz but that's how i came to my calculations...

Anyone wanna chime in???

 

You should be taking your odometer reading (in this case, 315) and multiply it by 1.0317 which gives you 325. Take 325 and divide that not by 21 but by however many gallons you put in your tank. My guess is you are getting much better than 13.

 

KMitch: I have been looking for this quote everywhere. I remember reading it one day and forgot to add it to my sig...lol AWESOME....

 

I say to make sure you divide by how many gallons you put in because if you fill up once your low fuel light comes on, it'll only take about 16.5-17 gallons.

Using your original figures 315/21=15mpg
Possible updated 325/16.5=19.7mpg
