    For those with this toytec lift. How much have you adjusted your front coilovers. I want to go up little more in the front but not sure how much is too much.

    Any measurements from adjustment to end of threads would be great!Screenshot_20171216-223445.jpg

    Toytec bilstein 5100 lift w AAL. 2.5 front and 1.5 rear. KMC turbine wheels 4.5 bs, BFG KM2s 265/75/16
    I hate when people do this, but I saw no other replies so ....
    Just don't go over 3". I don't have the Boss kit, just the regular toytec adjustable coilovers, but I think they may use similar springs. I took measurements before and after, but I don't trust them (long story)/I looked around on here and found that the avg stock measurements from center of hub to wheel well is 20" for the 2nd gens. That's from toytec, so I tend to trust that they have the correct info. If you start with that you should be able to figure out how much lift you are getting with your adjustments.
    Anyway, I found that if I adjusted the collar 1/8 up I would get about 1/4 lift (maybe just under, like 3/16). I also found that the drivers and passengers side do not adjust the same...for me anyway. Because of the extra weight on the drivers side I actually adjusted it 0.5 inches more to fix the taco lean. On the drivers side it seemed I needed to adjust it closer to 3/16 to get the 1/4 of lift. FYI

    Mine was 19 3/4” stock and I went up to 22.25” on my icon kit and I clear my tires with no problem and my alignment is well within specs. I know it’s not toytec but hopefully that will give you an idea if nothing else. And I’m on stock uca’s
