The ToyTec BOSS Lift Thread

Do the fix from east coast gear. I too had vibration driving after putting on my lift with 3 degree shims in the rear. Was in raleigh for the day and swung by east coast gear and they did it in 30 minutes. Vibration totally gone. Check into it, they can ship the bushing out to you.

 

Do these boss suspensions really only last around 30k Miles? I just ordered a kit. If thats the case im going to have to cancell the order

 

It all depends on your use. Heavy off road use, 30k is about the max. Mostly road use should be longer. Although no suspension is going to last with abuse. This is why high performance suspensions from any manufacturer are rebuildable. Hell ICON and KING suggest rebuilds after 20k.
Which suspension did you order?

 

Toytec Boss suspension 2.0 . 30k seems pretty low! You would think aftermarket you would get close to OEM if not better.. then again im new to this so what do i know

 

That is simply not the case. You are going for lift and performance. No aftermarket company builds for long term as you sacrifice performance in the process. Again it's based on how you treat it. I ran a BOSS 2.0 coilover on my truck for over 3yrs and about 45k miles.

 

Well if thats the case, Do you know of any lift kits or Brand out their that will simply give me the lift while maintaining OEM performance including long life span?Only looking for a 2-3” of lift mostly to put bigger tires but i dont want to do a body lift.

 

The only thing that will come close would be OME Lifts. They were developed around Austrailian wash board roads and have a tendency to last longer. If you want adjustable front coilovers then look at the BP-51 KIT. But it is expensive. The regular kit does not have adjustability but will lift the front based on which spring you get with the kit.

Toytec sells the OME kits. I suggest you give them a call on Monday to see if you can change your order.

 

I have had my boss 2.0 lift for about 30,000 miles and never have had a problem. Yes all suspension does wear out over time but i think the boss is an awesome suspension upgrade for the tacoma and would think twice about canceling your order. The true key to keeping the shocks in good order over time is investing in a good set of bumpstops with the kit. Stock bumpstops are shit. I run the timbren bumps with u bolt flip out back and its great and smooth. Front ive got wheelers superbumps.

 

Anyone have any opinions on the toytech Eibach front coilover lift and the using the toytech rear add a leaf for the rear lift. Instead of just using the Eibach full lift kit that uses blocks in the rear?

Or should I just got with the full boss lift?

 

Can you put a link?

 

Avoid using blocks, it'll make the ride stiff. AALs are a better option, the Boss kit is ideal if you can swing it. Better performance all around.

 

Should I get the new UCAs as well if I go with the boss kit?

 

Depends on how much lift you want out of it. If you want 3" then most likely, yes. Less than that, it tends to vary from truck to truck. If you stay at 2.5" or under you'll likely be fine without. I don't have any experience with the Boss setup personally but that's usually how it works for most setups.

 

How does adding the UCAs help with truck when the lift is installed?

 

Alignment...higher you go the harder it is to get the right alignment numbers with stock uppers.

 

If your going for the boss lift get the LR uca its like 400 something bucks extra but it’s definitely worth it so you can correct your alignment angles accordingly

 

^^^ Awesome comments!

 

ok so i canceled the order like an idiot and now i regret it and think im going to re order while they still have the sale.
Any one with boss kit and 275/70/17 (Would have 4runner pro wheels)getting away without CMC? I really want to lift and throw bigger tires on but dont want to chop

 

Just got the the boss 2.0 a while back and out the box i’m getting 23” center of hub to fender in the front. Would I be able to crank it up another inch or half inch in the front to get rid of rake?
