    Most deffenitley! Already told the wife, "No plans for the 25th of July." Let's get this ball rolling where are we going to stay?

    No, none at all. This is the first I'm hearing about it!

    Bad design. Maybe some mesh screen to prevent debris from entering?

    We all would help when you come back, but how long is that? What if it is something serious? I'd hate to see you wait and it end up causing more damage.

    So I installed my Toytech springs with the top plates, supposed to be 3" of lift. Ended up with about 1.5", so fucking pissed, now my tires rub like crazy. I guess I need to move the plate up on the 5100's but it was advertised as 3" with the shocks set at 0. Also installed Built Rite UCA's. Pretty much worked as long as I could today on it, got it wrapped up, just to take apart again tomorrow. Fucking bullshit!

    Stay..Stay?? In our TRUCKS. I will be there.
    'Twas a joke. I'm not going anywhere. Juan was referring to me moving to Baytown for my internship.
    Mesh screen would be an easy fix.
    He's coming back like, next week right?

    That sucks Trey. I recall they need to be set on 0.85. That BLOWS that you have to do all the work again. Didn't want any help?

    it wil give roughly 2.85" of lift with the Eibacks and the 5100's set at .85". a 1/4 spacer will usually get it uo to 3"

    Eibachs should be 1.6". Top plates should be double the thickness of the spacer. 5100s at 0.85.

    They do have 2" Eibachs but I don't think that is what comes in the Toytech lift.

    It was kind of last minute, i did it at my stepdads shop. So what notch is .85? Is that the right one for sure for 3"? I don't want to do this fucking shit again. Why the fuck do they say do it at 0 when that is fucking for sure not even close?

    Didn't take pic but when I had the 3" spacer lift up front with 1.5 in rear it was pretty much level. Now I still have 1.5 in rear and my truck pretty much has the stock rake. I'm a little over 1.5" higher in back than in front.

    It might help, I just don't want to have to do it three times. What fucking sucks is mine was already on the second notch and I moved it to the first because that was recommended by Toytech's web sight. It's hard to believe just going up 1 notch will give me the extra 1.5" that I need though.

    The 2nd notch should be 0.85, and the 1st notch is 0.0. That's the right one for 2.5", and that spacer should give you an extra half inch to make it a full 3" lift. If their site said the first notch was 3" of lift they are wrong and you should call them to straighten it before tackling this again.

    I probably need to change mine. I think waiting a week is fine but that's just playing probability, it could be a bad thing. Like I said have a friend ride in the bed.
    Really it was Bret that started it! And what would we do, we would all get along better lol
    This is basic info Warren come on! He's said this probably 3 times lol
    Going up on notch won't give 1.5" of lift... But that plus the spacer should be about 1.35" of lift, plus the 1.6" lift coil should be 2.95" of lift. Make sure that spacer is on correctly because there's no way 1.6" Eibach coils with a 1/4" spacer would only give 1.5" of lift. Good luck
