toytec 3inch lift vs ome

10-4 ...headstrong off road sells all 4billys for 315...know any where you can get them cheaper

 

I bought my package from headstrong, extremely fast shipping and cheapest price I could find for what I wanted. And I take it back I have 265s

 

That's what I said 315 four all four gosh I been seeing them for 380

 

Headstrong is great

 

Okay well I'll see what ole dad thinks about it tomorrow and possibly order them....think I'll need alinement with the new shocks?

 

Without a doubt

 

You always will need one when replacing suspension

 

See how the ride goes, personally I would get one

 

Okay I am I have noticed that the billistien are free shipping at headstrong and could I put 884 and billistien shocks in all 4 comers and be fine or would that give me to much rake?...I am looking to be about 1 inch higher in front than in the back.

 

You don't run coils in the back. And You'll be nose high. You need an aal in the back to give some lift

 

Okay I new I couldn't run ciols in back I was just wondering if it cod put coils up front and use them as level but now that I think about it would be to much rake...shock first then rest...shocks first then rest....

 

Yes you would need an AAL

 

Rake is when the rear is high.
So a 1.5" aal

 

Okay thanks guys and I kinda fell asleep on y'all sorry bout that I'll talk to dad today and see what he says.

 

Okay here's my final question... Headstrong has a complete lift for like $607 plus $60 shipping or something like that. It comes with 4 billistien shocks 884 coils and deaver aals for what I have been looking at it, it would be cheaper to buy the whole kit...and would I need a diff drop?? And what exactly does that do?

 

You only need the diff drop if you have a 4x4. I have that set up but with 885x coils and I love mine. I also bought the UCAs with it

 

Buy the whole kit but call them and drop the add a leaf and go the wheelers off road and get their 1.5 progressive leaf pack. It's so much better. And you don't need a diff drop. They are bad for second gens. Is supposed to reduce the angle of the diff but it only rotates it a hair resulting in minimal change

 

Even with my 4x4 no diff drop?? And would it bring my price down any at all? By not being the leafs?

 

I have to agree on the progressive pack, hindsight being 20/20, the AAL is fine for the street, but when climbing rocks the steep jump in spring rate when the AAL kicks in is a PITA.

Could you please expand on the diff drops being 'bad' for the second gens? I've been running one for a few years, and it does a good job of reducing the angle of the half-shafts. A little difficult to imagine a problem from that.

 

Its not bad, that's just misinformation being passed down from one person to another (common theme on here). You just get little benefit from it in terms of correction following the lift and the drop makes it more susceptible to contact when in the rough. You got to take things with a grain of salt on here because everyone claims to know everything even though most are unfamiliar.
