Toytec "Ultimate lift kit" opinions

Toytec "Ultimate lift kit"

Anyone out there have this?

I am thinking of havint it installed on a 2009 DC LB

 

Lots of people have it, every one is satisfied.

 

It is better than body lifts & spacers for sure...

 

Hey not trying to beat a dead horse as I read a few other posts when I did a search, but just looking for real world experience from guys with this kit installed.

I was originally just going to go with spacers until I read into it further.

 

this is the exact kit i have and i like it i think it turned out good.

 

i have this kit too with TC upper control arms on the same vehicle you have, 2009 DC LB 4x4

 

Technically I have it (although pieced together). I have the front coils set at about 2" of lift with TC UCA's. Man... its smooth as butter. Way better than the 5100/884 combo I had.

 

are the adj. coils pre set up to 2.5' or 3" from factory ,Doug told me they set them to 3" but when i opened the box this afternoon they look like 2" high

 

the website states it is set between 2.5 to 3 inch. When I got mine they were set to 2.5 inch, so im guessing its random?

 

how can i measure that, between the collars? pics will be great thx

 

I've got them too, here is a link to see my truck:

Truck looks great. what size are those tires?

 

How much inches of thread do you have below the adjuster ring?
Doug said its a 3" lift so you shoud have 1 3/4" threads below the adjuster ring, if you increase that to the max 2" threads you will have 3 1/2" lift.

 

Hi VW, Thanks for the show and tell of your thread!

Like the looks of your lift. I have been researching and planning to do a similar lift to my similar truck.

One thing you stated in your thread ..."The c/o's I got with the silver Eibach 600# springs".
Do I understand that coil spring options are available in the Toytec Ultimate lift kit?

 

I believe the "red" spring are also 600# springs also. As far as options from Toytec, I do not know to be honest. When I placed my order they called me the next day and told me they were out of the red springs. If I wanted them I would've had to wait a few days. They gave me the option of the silver ones and I thought it might look better so I took it.

You might want to call them and ask if there are more options. I do not know if the red springs are Eibach or not, if they are it just might be a color option.

 

ten four. Thanks for the reply.

 

Here's mine.

 

FINALLY!!!! it just got installed, was really concern about ride quality and vibrations because i have seen a lot problems with lift kits, but let me tell u this Toytec ROCKS, no vibes rides almost as good as stock u can feel the bumps a bit more,but cmon is a truck and now it feels like truck im so happyunfortunatly my digital camera died on me so i wasnt able to take pics but as soon i get it charged ill take some.

BTW the guys from Toytec "great service" same day i order my lift same thay was shipped

 

DIY or get it installed?

Any one have any thoughts on what a shop charges for install including UCA's?

 

i was going to do myself but i decided to hired profesional help it was done in 3.5 hrs with no pain on my lower back and no greese hands dont get me wrong i have worked on my truck but i didnt want to mess with the suspencion
