    I just put my lift on but the passenger side is abut a half inch higher than the drivers side. When I tried to adjust the drivers side higher I broke one of the wrenchs they supplied me with. Will this mess up my alignment? Any Ideas how to fix it?

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    You need to get an alignment anytime you move your coilovers up or down.

    I am getting ready to install the Toytec tomorrow. The co's said they were factory set @ 2.5". Should I adjust them to 3" or start out with the factory setting?

    Ive heard its best to start higher, then adjust them down to where you want it after a they've settled. atleast thats what I did, and its easier to adjust them down then up.
