3" Toytec Lift Lifted My 2009 Regular cab 4.5 inches!?

Looks good!

 

Sorry , I don't speak swampdonkey , but I'll take your word for it Bullwinkle .

 

Those are Dick Cepek wheels (DCs) and that style has like a -12mm or more negative offset (where my wheels have 0 offset)

 

Gotcha , I was thinking Double Cab when you said DC and I was like " ? "

 

Thanks. Like I Said, I Like The Way It Looks & Rides, I Was Just Surprised How Much Lift I Got Out Of A 3" Lift. Maybe It's Because The Truck Is So Light? Regular Cab? The F*$k If I Know!

 

I demand pics of your ' just fine. ' CV angles

 

Haha, I Knew What He Was Saying.

 

I'm Hearin' Ya!!! It's Just That its 12:30 In The Morning!
I'm Going To Post Some Tomorrow After Work.....But Seriously.....They Don't Look That Bad To Me.

 

If your CVs look good then I'd say you scored. Now go get some bigger tires.

 

Don't Be Like That.....I Just Put The Rims & Tires On Today. They Are Brand New!!! Haha I Would Have Went Bigger If I Knew They Would Look as small As They Do.

 

Ha! well at least they look good on your reg cab size truck... you might be in trouble if that was a DCLB.

 

So you are going to take the spacer off as Chris suggested, correct?

The spacer is not meant to be used with single cabs.

 

If somebody had 4.5" of lift without a RCD DB wouldn't they have like negative (less than zero) or no down travel?

What I mean is I thought 3" of lift leaves you like 1 to 1.5" of down travel and 4.5" of lift would leave with with zip to less than zip downtravel???

OP did you take into account that your stock front end may have sagged from the time it was brand new due to normal wear after x amount of miles and that what you're seeing now is the diff between the settled/sagged height and now at a full 3" of lift?

Edit oh forgot about the TP spacer. What ever, drive it till something breaks I always say

 

On The Toytec website It Said The 884 Coil Was For Regular Cabs & Extended Cabs. Then They Say Add Their 3/4'' Top Plate Spacer For a full 3". Thats Exactly What I Did. I Got An Alignment At My Local Toyota Shop Today, And They Told ME It Could Settle Some More.

 

No, I Never Thought That My Stock Coils Had Sagged From When The Truck Was New. It Makes Sense To Me Though. If It Sagged A Good Inch, And Then I Put My 3'' Lift In, Maybe The Extra Lift I ''Apear'' To Have Is Just The Difference. It Did Seem A Little Squatty Before For a 4X4. That Was Actually My Main Reason For Lifting It In The First Place. Could I Tell This By Measuring My Stock Coils?

 

Why does everyone suggest measuring from the bottom of the flare to the ground? This is so inaccurate. Measure from the bottom of the flare to the bottom of the wheel (making sure to pass through the center of the hub for consistence). Your leaving too much to tire pressure and ground material to get any accurate measurements...

 

if you measure to the centre of the hub it will be the same for all tacomas though, your way will vary depending on rim size...
