    arb front, toytec lift , expedition one rear
    Hi All,

    Just wanted to share my experience with the toytec boss 2.5 lift with fox adjustable coilovers. As A business owner myself i am always willing to work with vendors. So my lift was about 2500 and change. squeaky from the start. heim bushings on fox coilovers. 90 bucks. replaced twice. ball joints on upper swing arms replaced 4 times. trying to get a warranty, not ever easy. The fox coilovers were corroded enough after a year that adjustment was not possible. Rear toytec add a leafs. replaced. both broken. toytec shocks. Both leaking after 4 years. I have bumpers etc. off road once in a while. If you want a lift.. Add a leaf and put spacers in up front. Mabye uppers. Way more reasonable on cost. This lift is the only thing that I have to spend money on for a 5 year old truck with 40k miles. Toytec Nah... My experience is if you are a vendor stand behind your products. They do not. Want to spend on a lift. Buy icon or OME The quality of the toytec stuff is a little off. Have fun on your adventures. I hope this saves someone some money and time.

    But it looked cool right? Lol most do it for looks and squeaks and rubs are the price of admission to the cool club.

    Racing shocks and parts on a daily driver will do that.

    Personally, I've had a pretty good experience with Toytec. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Adding a lift is always gonna bring up some other problem and it's hard to warranty off-road suspension when they know their clients are gonna abuse the crap out of it. Regardless, I hope your situation gets resolved soon.

    Post pics. I would love to see your truck and lift. Fox shocks are excellent and depending on your total lift, the issues you are having could be due to improper setup. How much total lift front and back did you get?

    Upset at Toytech shocks leaking after 4 years - pretty good run IMO. Imagine how upset you would if your brand new KINGS leaked after 6mo (like mine).

    For your front coliovers invest in covers. Its amazing how much protection they provide.
