2023 Trail with Toytec suspension.

Problem, my truck is 1.5" higher in the rear than in the front with the Toytec suspension system. I don't plan on adding any weight to the bed/back of the truck, so I would like to get the truck closer to level.

The rear of the truck appears to have the add-a-leaf with the aluminum angled block. Plus it looks like it still has the factory trail 0.5" block in between the axle and the angled aluminum block. Can I remove the factory 0.5" spacer and have the aluminum block sit directly on the axle?


The front lock ring has just a hair over 1" of threads showing. Is this a normal/current amount? Can I adjust this to get some additional height in the front? I don't want to create other issues by increasing the height of the front.

 

How recently was the lift installed? When I put my OME lift on my old 4runner, it settled down 3/4-1" after a few hundred miles, then stayed there.

Other than that, I can only say watch out that you don't max out your downtravel with your front suspension to even the rake out. Your ride and offroad performance will suffer, and it'll max out your cv's causing extra wear/more frequent boot failures.

 

I would say keep the oe trail .5 block and ditch the aluminum piece.

how much lift do you have in the front roughly?

 

The front measures 36 5/8" on 275/70 R16 tires...not sure how much that works out to be for lift. Suspension was on the truck when I bought it.

22 1/4" center hub to wheel well

 

If it was me I would start by removing the spacer and run it like that for awhile. You can always reinstall the spacer later on down the road. Removing it isn't going to hurt anything.

 

I was at just about that with stock te lift and 265 75 16s. Your tires run only half inch less in diameter than mine so I would say you’re in the ~1.5 lift range if I were to make an educated guess.

I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze trying to get anymore out of the set up. Getting it up another half inch is where I would draw the line

 

Very helpful. thank you.

I am not really searching for more lift, just want it get closer to level. So removing the 0.5 spacer in the back could be enough, but it sounds like I "might" have a little room to go up in the front as a last resort.
