Toytec 521600 Springs with Top Plate 3" Lift

Lifted for a friend. 2014 DC/SB, TRD Off Road. Toytec 521600 2 1/2" springs with 1/2" lift top plate. 1 1/2" rear blocks. Stock front struts and rear shocks. Rides nice. Better than stock. Cheap alternative to a spacer lift.

Did he need uca's?

 

I've been looking at this lift option for awhile now

Now you need to add some iron up front to help those stiff springs. I carry full bumper, winch, and lower skid.

 

UCAs not required.

Ride is better than stock as is. Plusher than the stock springs.

 

But do you have at least have 5100's on all 4 corners?

 

See original post. All the info is there. She wanted to go the cheap but better than spacer route.

 

But what kind of truck is it

 

I have the 521600 with the top plate. I'm very happy with it after 50,000 miles. It's not the right choice if you're going to add front weight though. It's rather soft now.

 

Anyway I could get install instructions on how to put them on?? I know putting coil springs on is rather easy, just never done one with 3in lift springs on factory struts. Seems like a lot of stretch for them struts

 

Looks good.
I'm installing (having them installed) these springs with the 1/2" top spacer on Wednesday.
I'm going with an add a leaf instead of the blocks for the rear.
I have Billy 5100's in front now and will use them set at 0, I also am adding LR SPC upper control arms.
Also putting Bilsteins in the rear. I forget the model # but they're the slightly longer ones for use with ~2" of rear lift.
I'm putting 33x 12.5x 18's on Fuel Beast wheels. I can't wait. Merry Christmas to me!!

 

This is the 521600 springs next to a TRD OR OEM spring when I changed mine:

 

@rat107 did you use the oem top plate studs or did you have to buy extended 1.5" studs for your friends truck? thanks

 

The kit came with extended studs.

 

Thanks @rat107

 

@EdinCincinnati just got the 521600s in the mail. just wondering what kind of spacer you used? size and brand if ya get a chance. and whats the ride like. thanks!

 

I had the 1/4" spacer on both sides to achieve 3.0" of lift plus an additional 1/4" top plate on the left to accommodate the Tacoma lean. Both Bilsteins 5100 clips set at 0 - lowest. Bought the Toyteclifts brand spacers.

Ive since removed the 1/4" top spacer and brought back down to 2.5" lift (lean spacer is still installed) because I had a roaring sound from the CV joint angle. Removing the spacer cured it.

Ride is great IMO. Much better than using the OEM springs on 5100s. That was really stiff.

In the rear, I removed the overload, added Deaver Progressive AALs from Toyteclifts - but I removed the smallest leaf. Have 5160s in the rear with Ride-Rite airbags.

I also have my tires at 32 psi.

 

@EdinCincinnati really appreciate the input man! Thank A lot can i ask what size tires?

 

That picture is 285/70r17

I've since changed to 255/75r17 to reduce tire weight to improve MPG
