1.5"-2" lift. Which is the best?

Front Driver: 23 1/2"
Front Passenger 24"

Rear Driver: 25
Rear Passenger 25 1/4


I would have to say, even with the trim packer installed the driver's side is noticably lower than the passenger side.

the 1/2" Difference might be closer to 3/4".

I believe the coils were installed properly, but maybe I have the end of the coil facing the wrong way? The truck has maybe 10 miles on it since the install, but I doubt it would settle itself level.

 

OP, I'll say like you, 32's are at their best along w/this lift, well done.

 

Nice. Give us a ride review after you have got to spend some time with it.

 

Put about 250km on the truck and I am pleased to say it is damn near perfect.

it still has 1/2" of Taco lean, even with the trim packer in place, but looks great nonetheless.

Ride is fantastic. Firmer than stock but not by much.

People complain about harsh ride from the Toytec single leaf AAL. I have no idea why.
It rides exactly like stock, no harshness at all.

I am very happy I removed the swaybar, because it will help me offroad, and has not comprimised the ride at all.

Overall I would say this is a perfect lift for me. I wanted to keep 32's (265/70/17) to keep all the power and fit in my underground parking lot.

the 2-2 1/4" lift I have fits perfectly with the tires I chose. The truck has a noticably tougher "stock" look to it which I love.

The only thing I would do differently is bought the Iron Man rear leaf pack instead of the AAL's.

IronMan 4x4's pack has 2" of lift and is a full pack. People are stealing them for $130/each!

I am very happy I didn't go with Bilstein 5100 @ 1.75" or the eibach route.

And just to recap:

OME 884x with trim packer
Fully assembled by toytec
Nitro Sport shocks

Toytec 1.5" TSB ALL
OME N182 rear shocks
U-Bolts

$730 from Toytec.


265/70/17 General Grabber AT2

$950 from a local tire shop (buddy works there).

Complete lift and tire package for $1680. Excellent deal.

 

Looks awesome man. And that's coming from a guy who went the Eibach route (which I still love as well). I also agree that pics never seem to do these 1.5-2.5 lifts justice.

 

SWEET!!! I know what lift I am going with now when I get $$$ for it.

 

Long Term review.

Very confused about the height difference in my lift.

Drivers side is about 23 1/4" from hub
Passengers side is about 24 1/4" from hub.

I have the trim packer in and everything looks to be installed correctly.
Why would their be a 1" difference between driver/passengers?

 

good thread

 

Huh

Interesting

 

I did notice on install the passenger side was a lot tighter of a fit as well. Maybe I'll measure the coils tomorrow, although its tougher to do with the truck loaded.

 

You posted earlier it had a 1/2" lean , now it's an inch ?

 

It was closer to 3/4 When full of gas. Now it has settled and it is nearly 1".

 

What are the new rear measurements ?

 

Level ground?

 

You have 884's and billies set at 1.75 ?

 

My bad , I was on my phone and for some reason the text after your first pic wasn't displaying on Tapatalk

 

Found a completely level place and remeasured.

Front Drivers:23"
Front passengers: 23 3/4"

Rear Drivers: 24
Rear Passengers 24 3/4


So its 3/4" out on a level surface, with the trim packer in place on a full tank of gas.

I think I am going to buy a 1/2" spacer for ontop of the coilover.
These are cheap from Toytec, and I need to pick up a CB drop for very very minor vibes.

 

Get the 1/4" spacer , it will gain you 1/2" of lift and you can use your standard length studs at the top of the coil / shock set up
