Toytec Coilover Isses

It will settle. Mine did. Give it 500 miles or so and then make adjustments.

 

Hopefully you don't blow a CV joint before that. When I raised mine too high, I was absolutely paranoid that I was going to have problems before I had a chance to take it off and adjust them down...

So, with the clip set at the second setting and 2" of thread below the ring, how much lift did you get? First go round on mine (.85" and 1" of thread) I went up almost 4.5"!

 

I never had 4.5" of lift. I ran the drivers with about 1" of thread and the passengers side with less. I then adjusted the drivers side ip and the passenger side down to compensate for Taco Lean. Mine settled in about 1/2" and I later adjusted it accordingly. 4.5" of lift is way too much for these shocks. Mine is set close to between 2.5" and 3" now. I will say that it is easier to adjust down as opposed to up so it is probably a smart move to start on the high side and adjust down as you see fit.

BTY - Your truck is looking Killer!!!!!

 

Does it have to be realigned if you adjust it down?

 

Yes, I would.

 

My truck is getting aligned right now so I'll measure when I pick it up. Right now the truck almost sits leveled with the rear (TSB + AAL). I think I'm probably going to be sitting at about 3"-3.25" of lift. Here is why.

Originally, you had the clip on the second slot and had the adjuster nut above 1" of thread. You also have the toytec top plate which according to Doug provides an additional 1" lift. That gave you a total of a 4.25" lift.

My clip is on the second slot and I have the adjuster nut above 2"s of thread. I also have the OEM top plate which provides no additional lift. According to Doug, they redesigned the coilover body and made it 1" longer toward the bottom (thats why I now have 2"s of thread below the adjuster nut). If my calculations are right, I should have about 3.25"s of lift. I figured it will settle so about 3" after a couple hundred miles. I'll post pictures soon.

 

You're right - I keep forgetting about the top plate!

Great - looking forward to pics!
