toytec 1inch body lift question

hi all , has anyone here installed the 1 inch toytec bodylift on a 16 or 17 , I see the pics on toytecs site but the pic is of a 2015 Tacoma, different front bumper and plastics then our 3rd gen , was wondering if any body here has done this lift and if there is a gap at bumper plastic to fender line thank you in advance for your help

 

Why

 

x2 Why a Body Lift???

 

Exactly...

 

I know other members with 3rd gen have put the Toytec 1" body lift on. Yes it fits, yes it leaves 1" gap in rear bumper, and yes you can relocate bumper bracket to fix gap...but i have yet to do this personally but thinking strongly about getting 1" body lift.

*despite what others say about body lifts, 1" looks like it be alright combined with 3" suspension lift IMO and fairly easy to install.

 

im looking into the next stage of what ill be doing , body lift , cmc , front bumper full suspension and cutting and trimming to fit a larger wheel and tire also gears but have yet to get a shop in my area that will touch the gears

 

Personally I’d skip the body lift.

 

Everyone keeps saying "why" or "dont do it" but no one explaining why not? What is the reason? Im planning on doing 1" body lift. What are the reasons ine shouldnt do a 1" body lift? I alreday have Kings sitting in grage just waiting for rear leaf springs to show up

 

thank you sir

 

Body lift or spacer lift is a BIG compromise to gain a couple of inches in height. Do it the right way with front coilovers and UCA and complete new set of leaf springs in the back.
Work OT, sell stuff, get a temp job, save money and get the GOOD stuff from the beginning. Will save you time, money and headache in a long run. Ask somebody to help you to install them.

 

Sorry but 1" body lifts do not harm anything and are completely safe. Anyone who doesnt agree has no real reason to say different. 3" body lift is different on the other hand. Dont go over 1"

 

I have the Toytech 1" body lift. It messes the rear bumper lines if you don't relocate it. It also pulls on the front down a tiny bit, but again that could be corrected with a little work... but you can't notice it unless you are really looking for it.

Honestly, I don't get all the hate body lifts get on here either.

 

sometimes you run into issues with overextending harness or electrical components. I have had the unfortunate time of dealing with a vehicle that had a body lift and customizing a replacement hose for the fuel system due to a body lift. small nuisance, I would say small amount isnt too bad, but overall spacing something away creates weak points in the long run. just remember that skids, sliders, bumpers and many other items won't line up without extra effort after body lifts.

in my opinion, do what you want with your truck. deal with it and learn from it.

 

I think you prob miss understood. I have spared any expenses when it comes to suspension. I have king coilvers with adjustable compression and rear kings and TC UCA and waiting for my custom Alcan leaf pack to arrive. Im planning on doing 35's and instead of trimming the fenders if I could go with 1" body lift to avoid rubning why shouldnt I?

 

Cause most people here are parrots and repeat what they hear without doing any research. Ask them why and they either go silent or they tell you they have a "friend" whose truck blew up because they used a body lift or coil spring spacer or some other "cheap" method

 

Bodylift. Whatever the question is, the answer in NO.

 

sir this isn't about the money at all

 

from the research ive done you will need to trim or cut to fit a 35 , even with all high dollar parts you throw at it sir

 

unfortunately this has turned into a pissing match , in my opinion , this is the third time ive tried to ask a question on tacomaworld forum , yet again met with why bother I feel so beat down trying to ask for help on here yes ive got CASH I do things my way on my truck. just looking for guidance don't respond to my thread then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have the Toytec 1" body lift on my truck, zero complaints, serves purpose. Now I'll be able to fit dirty fives, after a regear of course.
