3" Toytec Lift

The diff drop is for the front differential. It says not needed, which is probably true. But just to be sure and for a little added security I ordered and installed one. I recomend it. It was the eaisiest part of the job to do. Maybe 15 min. at the end. It will lessen the stress on the other parts of your front drivetrain. By dropping the front diff one extra inch it helps keep it in line with the axles.

 

cant wait for pics

 

I would definately get the front diff drop kit. anything that helps keep the stock angles is a good thing. Less wear on your joints and less likely to get extra vibration from the lift from what i understand

 

do you get that from toytec also?? looked on their website and didn't see it?

also, can I install it after i do the lift?? a week or so later? or would it be a lot easier to do it all at once?

 

Yep they come from Toytec. You can do it anytime. It is cheap and quick. But the sooner you do it the less wear on your front CV joints.

 

reid..
i was reading jacksons post and he said that he was having alot of vibration and drift after he installed his kit. are you having the same type of issues? or does your truck still handle pretty much stock? thanks again

 

must have miss posted something.... i DON'T have the vibration, but do have some drift, it isn't REAL bad, but pretty noticable.

 

My truck handles better than stock. Because the toytec spacer kit and add-a-leaf kit make the suspension stiffer, it is much better on the road. I havent had any issues with the ride quality.

 

jackson-
thanks bro i might have read it wrong. no ideas on why the drift tho huh?

 

the allignment shop said they could not get the allign. in spec. i don't know the 3 diff. specs, camber, and something else and something else hehe

anywho, he brought the numbers in spec to have even tire wear, but whatever adjust drifing and straight line driving was off... he said to bring it back to spec he would have to mess with the tire allignment for even wear to have crappy wear, or check with toyota or someone and see if there was a "kit" to be able to adjust the allingment more....

i am too dumb on the subject to listen and repeat accuratley hehe

 

i posted the alignment specs. and you can check out these http://www.chaosfab.com/product/96504/96504_kit.jpg

 

yeah rick,

i took them and they said every car/truck is diff. and they needed to just hook up the equiptment and make adjustments...

i didn't know enough about the matter to argue with them.

 

Every truck that is lifted needs to have an alignment done. With the toytec lift the adjustment will be maxed out. It will ride right, but will be maxed out. You cannot lift the front end of an 05-08 tacoma more than 3" without replacing things. There is not enough room for adjustment

 

So is it common for 3" lifts to cause this drift? Does anyone else have problems likethis or are most people fine after they lift theirs?

 

i did not need an alignmant done mine was rite on i guess i got lucky

 

WoooooooHoooooooo!!! I ordered my Toytec 3" lift last night. Is it here yet, is it here yet, is it here yet.

 

My wife got a little pissed. I told her I was going to order some "parts" my truck. $305 later....."did you get that lift you've been talking about?". Haha woman, it's already ordered, can't stop me now!

 

ya mine went something like that but when i was done she said she liked it

 

haha! Thats what we call negotiating like a man!

 

That's right, she can't say no after the fact.
