    3’ lift, 1.5 wheel spacers, TRD pro wheels,
    So I have 6112 bilsteins up front and 5160 in the rear, I have roughly 2.5 inches of lift. Tiny bit of rake.
    I wanted to be at 4 inches of lift I knew I wasn’t gonna get there but i loved the idea of the bilsteins... my buddy gave me an idea to get to 4 inches... he said add a 4 inch block in the rear. Then use those leveling spacers up front on top of your bilsteins....

    In the back I would have a 4inch block... but up front is what I’m worried about I know i would need new UCA but on top of that I have a feeling that might put me over 4 inches of lift. Just wondering if anybody has ever done it or heard of anyone doing it. I would like to be level and if not level little rake.

    Lmk if any of you think this is possible.

    Dude. You need to read a little and stop listening to your friend. He’s an idiot.

    you’ve reached max lift unless you cut your cross member. No going back. Not a fan.

    I'm a dude that is ok with spacer lifts and ok with drop bracket lifts and understand looks over functionality if that's what the owner wants but nothing about your idea is smart at all
    3 inch lift max without a drop bracket. If you want more then go for the major surgery and cut the crossmember
