the lift is here

I'm going to go with the Eibach's at 0.85 with just the 1/4 spacer on the drivers side for the lean. Maybe I should snag a 1/2 as well and put the drivers side, and the 1/4 on the passengers side...Hmmm. Ride is okay? Not too stiff?

 

ride is a little stiffer than stock but not even close to being harsh. i have a .50 space i didnt use i had bought the .25 from a member on here but had to buy the .50 spacer kit so it came with 2 spacers and the extended studs which you will need so if you already have the studs ill give you my .50 spacer if you just pay the shipping.

 

I'm just wondering if I'll need spacers. I'm only looking for like 2-2.25" of lift up front, and I'm putting a 2" AAL in the rear. I measured my truck with a full tank of gas and the drivers side was a little lower...like not quite 1/4" so I'm not sure if I'll need them?! I just heard that with the double cab I might get just shy of 2" with the 0.85 setting on the eibachs...If that was the case I'd put the 1/2 on the drivers side, and the 1/4 on the passengers side.

 

im not sure what the difference between the dc and ac would be but i just measured mine on my garage slab from the ground through the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender and my measurements were, df 38.5, pf 38 5/8, both rears 41 1/8. spacers will depend on the wheel you want to run too i believe mine have a 4.5 bs and the new uca's allowed a little more clearance so im not sure on that one i think birdTRD is running spacers on his stock off road wheels with his lift the same as mine.

 

Great looking truck.

Those rear shocks look like Bilstein 5100's I'm curious why you got a shock that required that bracket you have on the top of your rear shocks? Is there a reason you mounted them upside down?

You might be onto something, I've just never seen it done that way.

 

they are bilstein 5125 which are eye to eye mounted so thats why the adapters there. 5100's are good up to 3 inches of travel and i was real close to pushing that so i just went a little bigger just in case.

 

I'm just going to be running my stock TRD Sport wheels with my 265/70-17 Bridgestone REVO II tires. I don't need 3" of lift, that's why I'm only looking for about 2-2.25"...it'll be perfect for what I'm looking for. BTW, your truck looks great!

 

It's a good day, I learned something new.

 

Looks sick!!!

 

Is it just me or are the shims in backwards? Is the fat side forward or back?

 

I think you're right, it should look like this.

 

Ok so im not on crack and i did install mine right. That is probably where any of your vibes are comming from. By installing them backwards, you actually made the driveline angle higher, rather than making it less.

 

I think the OP already stated that at first he positioned them incorrectly, and had vibes, and then corrected them, and the vibes were gone. Probably took the photo pre correction?!

 

Where? I cant find that.

 

Here

 

Well alrighty then. Thank you. Looks good man!

 

correct i took the photo before the first test drive just after i dropped the truck off the jacks. then drove it. then realized something wasnt right and parked it for the night and broke into my tw bible and found my mistake and corrected it the next day. just a little snafu and got her right.

 

i bought as many pieces as i could from members on here i got the ucas from wheelers, the shims,diff drop, c/b drop, u bolts and aal from toytec, and the 5125's from ebay.

 

thats awesome

 

Awesome truck! Sub'd for reference.
