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

Did you put 5100's on it? If so, did you accidentally put the bottom coil seat on upside down? That will give you 1.5" of unplanned lift and it would need to be fixed ASAP.

 

Good thinking....it's very easy to accidentally put it upside down....

 

Daytime

Picccssss

 

The reason is probably because you haven't gotten your truck aligned yet.

When you change the angle of the suspension it affects everything else.

With the lift, your tires are tilted Pos. Camber \--/ so that is adding a bit of height to your truck. Because your tires are riding more on its edge.

Get it aligned and the truck should get lower, IF you can get your Camber to 0*.
I'm thinking that you will net about 3.25"-3.5" of lift since you have a reg cab.

You more than likely need UCA's.

Good Luck!

 

Ok, I Measured From The Center Of My Center Cap On My Rim To The Bottom Of My Fender Flare. I Even Used A Torpedo Level Against The Blade Of My Tape Measure To Ensure Maximum Accuracy. The Driver Side Is 24'', and The Passenger Side Is About 24 1/8''. My Driver side Before The Lift Was 19 3/8'', And The Passenger Side Was 19 1/2''. So It's Like I Said, I'm 4.5'' Higher Now Than I Was Before. Do My Stock Measurements Look To Low? Maybe My Stock Coils Were Very Fatigued.....Like 1.5 Inches Fatigued. This Would Make My Truck Appear To Be 4.5'' Higher Than Stock. Toku 58, In The Above Post, Suggested That It's Because I Havn't Got an alignment Yet. This Isn't The Cause Because I Got An Alignment 2 Days Ago, And The Above Measurements Were Taken This Morning. I Don't Think My Springs Are Going To Settle Much More Either, I Have About 500 Miles On Them, And The Roads Are Heinous In NY This Time Of Year. The Winter Frost Destroys The Roads. I Don't Have 5100s Either, So There Is No Way My Coil Seat Is On Backwards.

 

I Know I Said I Would Put CV Pics Up Today, But I Got Called Into Work Early. First Thing Tomorrow Mornong.....I Promise! Haha You Guys Are Relentless With The CV Pics On Here!

 

Pictures are proof.....

 

Measured mine the other day....23" from the c/L wheel boar to the bottom of flair. Read somewheres that would be 3"....maybe that was this thread

 

stock mine was 20" and 19.75"

A 3 inch lift you should be sitting around 23-23.25" any higher and I can't see your cv's being at a good angle. I had mine at 23.25 both sides and my cv fins were just touching so I lowered mine down to 22.75" both sides.

 

Im with you on that, the tires and wheels can add lift as well, so ya u gained an extra 1.5in but probably from the wheels an tires

 

Pics?

 

Looks sweet as hell man. I think those tires are the perfect size. Did you get full springs in the back or the AAL package?

 

cv pics.....for christs sake

 

so you promised pics and didnt. therefore your word means nothing therefore we do not believe you on the CV angles being "fine"

 

those cv angles are not good. I know cuz my truck looked like that before I took off my spacers. So much happier without the spacers.

 

No, I didn't do A New Leaf Pack. It's A 2'' Add-A-Leaf With a 3* axle Shim. It rides Pretty Nice.

 

Nope! It's Not From My Tires. Like I said, I Measured From The Center Of My Rims Center Cap To The Bottom Of My Fender Flares. No Tires I'm Aware Of Can Change Where The Center Of Your Hub Is. Haha

 

CV pics ?

 

You Guys Are More concerned About My CV angles Than I Am!!! Haha I Did Promise I Would Put Up Pics And I Failed To Do So. I Forgot To Be Honest With You. I Will Do My Best To Take Some Pics And Post Them Tomorrow. I'll Try Not To forget This Time.
