Suspension Lift Info includes pics

I was able to get good alignment numbers on my 2011 DCLB w/OME 886's, but at droop the stock UCA was hitting the coil so I installed LR UCAs for the extra clearance.

 

Edited my previous post to reflect the new additions . . .

Icon 2.5 RR on all 4 corners,
All Pro Standards,
Icon Billet UCAs,
Dirt King (Factory Length) Lower Control Arms,
MaxTrac Lifted Spindles,
SDHQ Limit Straps,
Here she sits with the COs set at 0.

Tires are GoodYear Duratrac 285/75/16 on 16" L8 Strike 6s W/4.5" BS

Dead Even Front to Rear -

Icon Billet UCA + Icon EXT Travel 2.5 Remote Resi (Set For Zero Lift) + MaxTrac Spindle

.
SDHQ Limit Straps


.
Dirt King Factory Length Lower Control Arms

.
All Pro Standards + Icon 2.5 Remote Resi (0 - 3" Lift)


Kinda happy about how she turned out, with the COs set at Zero the ride feels very much like my drift spec 350Z that was equipped with full Tanabe suspension . . . Well except with more more ground clearance and the desert running at a lil bit of speed.

 

I need AllPro Standards but just bought my 2.0 RR Icons.

 

Can I run Maxtrac Spindles with My Fuel Anza 16" .O offset 4.5 Backspace Rims ?

 

I've been a member on here for a while but never really post anything. Just drool over all the bada$$ trucks I see and get ideas. I finally took the plunge and got my lift/rims/tires after driving around stock for over 2 years. I needed new tires so what better time then now right! I went with the 6" Rough Country lift, 35x12.5 Toyo Open Country M/T, and 18" Fuel Maverick rims. Previous upgrades are Smittybilt step bars, bull bar, debadged but blacked out side emblems. Will be getting bull bar powder coated black to match step bars soon.

 

good thread!

 

Will allpro standards fit with 2.25 dirtlogics on rear?

 

this is a common question, and the quick answers are not the full story. rim sizing can make a diff between working and not working. too much backspacing on rim and it will hold the tires tight near the uca's.

remember this, small backspacing and the wheel swings, a lot of back spacing and the wheel pivots. too much or too little can lead to issues. tire & rim specs along with lift and body changes will dictate what will and wont work.

What size tires are those? any rubbing?

 

I've since added a bumper light bar and Icon hydro bump stops . . .

 

So I've got the 3" Rough Country lift, 285/70/17 BFGoodrich KO2's and 1.25" Spydertraxx wheel spacers. According to the original thread "All front-end lift kits over 1.5″ should also include a differential drop kit."
Is this something I should get? I understand the Rough Country lift is fairly basic, but what other changes do I "need" to make? Such as possibly changing UCA's? I'm just not sure what might be needed or not, after reading this original post I'm afraid maybe I haven't "properly" lifted mine. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Wow, I'm new to the forum and offroad world. This info helped me alot as I am ready to mod my suspension. THANK U!

 

Hey guys, NOOB here...I plan on lifting/leveling the front only and keeping the back stock. Would these shocks do the job (or be the right ones)? I have a 2016 TRD Sport. Thanks for any help!

I would recommend getting coils also OME 887 or 885. As far as I understand you would be putting the factory coil under stress constantly. By "preloading" I believe that's the proper term. @619HiluxLover

 

so did you go for an option? I am now looking for this kind of lift but I have a 2.7L 2002 .

Thanks!

 

Do you think it would be ok to install the 3" Toytec coils on my stock struts? They're only about 8000 miles old. Going to replace UCAs as well, just wondering if its necessary to upgrade to 5100s, etc.

 

Another great reason to lift your vehicle. More room for dogs that want to go all Cape Fear on your ass.

I have about $1500 to spend on a lift kit. What does anyone think about this kit? I run a camper all year long and travel four times year with a bit of weight. Can the AAL handle the weight, or would it sag a lot?

I'm running a set of Icon rear AAL with the stock leaf pack and it holds up pretty well surprisingly. No sag in the rear even with my topper. Also you may want to checkout www.headstrongoffroad.com they have great prices and know the products well. I think you can piece together a similar kit for less. I was able to get everything for under $1k but I bought 2nd hand springs up front that saved some coin and I got the shocks and UCA's with 20% off coupon from ebay during the black friday sale.
