Suspension/lift question.

I’m looking for 2.5” front and 2” rear lift using this
https://www.jegs.com/i/Eibach/369/E...dTaQIhAJmMKAJZ6Cj0aVymZFOYf3q6lEaAhbOEALw_wcB

My question is, using that kit will I be able to achieve 2.5” front lift and 2” rear lift with a 1” aal or 1.5” aal? Also, which rear item would you suggest to give me that amount of lift? I’m not planning on adding a rtt or anything drastic right now. I tried searching on mobile but couldn’t find anything definitively.

Thanks for the help!

 

talk to headstrong they can help you out.

 

You will definitely need a AAL in the rear, I had good success with the the ICON 1.5" AAL (3 Leaf Progressive Add a Leaf Kit) if you wanted to keep it on the cheap side but still have good ride quality. I dont think anything will give you the full 2" in the rear with just an AAL. If you wanted to spend a lot more you could get an adjustable coilover in front and a new leaf pack in the rear.

 

Icon add a leaf with overload spring in Will give u 2” in the rear

 

You're talking about leaving the overload spring in the pack instead of removing it per Icons directions right?

 

Correct, running that and have 2” of rear lift.

 

That wouldn’t cause any issues tho

rhat wouldn’t cause any issues through?

 

None. No issues been running it for more that 2 years. Common set up. Added airbags as I gained weight, canopy rtt ect

 

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

 

Just remember to get the free new Toyota springs first so the originals don't split and hit the gas tank - or go full replacement.

 

How do I get free Toyota springs?

 

??

 

Call the dealer to have the springs inspected and if it's on the recall list.

 

I just complained of sagging and told the dealer the TSB # and they setup the replacement the next day. Don't remember the exact TSB but you should be able to look it up. They replace the front spring and I think they either add a leaf in the rear or replace it with something else.
*Note you MUST have all factory equipment for a dealer to do the TSB. Since I already replaced my front with coilovers they could not do the TSB so it was a waste of time for me overall. I then went the Icon aal route.

I called and they said a dealer has completed the leaf pack recall at 55k miles (80k now) and a warranty enhancement frame replacement last October, which scares me because there is surface rusting when I crawled under the truck.

 

Get a steel brush and hit any big rust spots and then spray that frame down with Rustoleum black.
I hit spots on mine a few times a year as in FL and back into saltwater with the boat.
Easy and resolves the big rust issue. I had the truck for periods in ME, VA and long-term in FL and no frame problems.

 

Rustoleum then fluid film or the other way around?

 

That’s obviously if it hasn’t already been completed, correct?

 

I agree with this, they will get you taken care of with a quality kit to fit your needs.

 

They a vendor on here? How do I get in contact with them?
