    I am getting ready to install a lift on my taco. I'm planning on getting 2-2¹/₂" on the front. Problem is, I'm doing the front end at a buddies house, then I will drive the truck about 20 miles to have a suspension shop measure the front lift. They are building me a set for cheaper than any of the big company stuff. I was wondering if driving my truck with the front end jacked up will harm anything. Specifically the driveshaft angle. Thanks gents.

    Shouldn't harm anything...... Your rear suspension will remain the same - you'll just look a little funny.

    Won't hurt anything.

    But understand that in 20 miles your front suspension won't have settled much. So they should plan for a bit more settling in the long run.

    Haha I thought the same, then I realized if they make a new leaf pack to match, it will also settle. Probably the same as the front so it would work out
