Everything Elka and How They Compare

lemme know how many turns you made to regain the height!

 

Will do, I'm trying to coordinate with my neighbor since he's got the strut compression machine, plus I figured I'd use his "race car" scale to get the overall and individual wheel load.

I will do my best to get pre and post pictures, and obviously center hub to fender/top measurements afterward.

Here are the measurements from post Elka install:

Post Elka Measurements w/ Dobinsons L59-111-R heavy leaf pack:

Took all measurements center hub to fender:​

• Front Driver 23"
• Front Passenger 23 1/4"
• Rear Driver ~25 1/4"
• Rear Passenger ~25 1/2"

And what I took, now a few months ago:​

Took all measurements center hub to fender:​

• Front Driver. = 22"
• Front Passenger = 23 1/4"
• Rear Driver = 24 11/16"
• Rear Passenger = 25 5/8"

​

 

This is right after install. 2.5 700lb LT, fully compressed. Certainly 3” lift.

 

would you mind sharing a pic of the shock and how many threads it’s showing? Thanks!

 

Its fully slammed for sure.

 

Thanks! Indeed is a lot. Is it just the perspective or is your truck squatting now

 

Holy threads!

 

Yeah I wonder if that’s not way too much - taking away a lot of space for the coils to stretch

 

Toytec are relabeled Elka.

 

I heard only some of the Toytec are made by Elka. Not sure if it's all Toytec.

 

Watching this thread is torture. Hurry up Elka and ship my suspension.

 

It's worth the wait, you'll be out there this summer ripping down the transalta laughing at all the Subarus and stock trucks

 

This is how it was set up when it was installed at Tru Automotive in Denver. Those guys know what they are doing. I haven't had any issues with it. I think they were just matching the height of the brand new Deavers.

 

Update on the Elkas with roughly 4 weeks having this setup now.

anyone having issues with the sway bar clunking against the coils going through potholes? Is it just me or do I have to replace my sway bar end links...

 

I tossed the sway bar after a month due to a slight rub on the driver side coil, if I remember correctly.

 

No rub here anywhere in the front travel. Did you install yourself or have a shop do it?

 

No interference here. Was the included sway bar relocation bracket installed?

 

Dang, this thread has me considering the same thing. I have 700lbs so I’d like to remove it and at least drive it around the block.

My main concern is some of these twisty mountain road here in Colorado...

 

Sway bar blocks installed with 700lbs springs and I have no issues in town, desert runs and a few sketch trails since installed. No visible rubbing. About 3/8” clearance from coil.

 

Guess I’m going to do the sway bar links but I’ll post some pics so you guys can see how close the sway bar is to the coils
