    Holy shit. I wouldn't move my truck an inch with those CV angles. You're going to ruin your cv boots so fast, definitely something wrong with the suspension

    Can you show a pic of the whole assembly? You don't have any spacers on top as well do you?

    3 in..i also have the top plate spacers in as well, was recommended by toytec in order to achieve a true 3 in. they said. upon doing more research ive found that toytec is usually one of the lesser of the choices on where to go for a lift

    Set it at 0.85 and keep spacers, and you should be at 3" or so. If you're too high, remove the spacers

    The Eibach provides 1.6 inches of lift itself adding the .85 will give you 2.45 and with the 1/4 lean spacer on the Driver's side will give you a little over 2.5 inches

    Why don't you try to just remove the spacers and see where you are at?

    The perch is on right. If those are the eibach coils which ones are they? 521600 are 3 inch coils that settle at 2.5 and are to be mounted on the bottom clip. If the are the 112620 1.6 inch coils no recommendations on where to put the clip but .85 sounds good. .85 and 1.6 will give you 2.75 to 3 inches of lift. You my friend did 1.6 coil lift and 1.75 clip lift. All that equals to much dam lift for the stock a arm and will ride like a tank. I just did the eibach 3 inch coils and set the 5100 on the bottom clip and all pro a arms. Rides great and I love the way it looks. IMG_20160810_171841710.jpg

    Where are you at for settings? There was some good information there about springs and amount of lift. Did you happen to see what springs you have? I would venture to say that you don't want to do lift springs and spacers.

    I had the 1.6" eibach springs set at .85 with the 1/4in spacer for the taco lean as well as a 1/2 in spacer on both sides. Got it aligned and it drives a hell of a lot better. Tacomworld to the rescue again
