    Just bought this lift from Toytec. The description says for up to 3 inch lift. My goal is 2.5 front and 2 in rear. The top spacers were optional but I bought them anyway. Anyone have any input for me?

    If you want 2.5 up front make sure to set the front billies at the .85 setting.

    Call them tomorrow and switch to the Boss coil overs and no spacer. The Boss are adjustable from 0"-3" (actually 4" but they won't warranty that much). It's more money but not that much more.

    That's an additional $500, cant do it. Once I get the lift, wheels and tires on I'll be in this upgrade $2750.

    I have mine set a .85 with the top spacer (about 1/2 inch) on the drivers side and the taco lean spacer (about 1/4 inch) on the passenger side and I have right at 3 inches give or take a little

    I have this set up. Ordered through Headstrong OffRoad. Same kit and the price was much better. I think it was $577 and some change.
    Set Bilstein clips to .85 and used the 1/4 top plate spacer (taco lean spacer). No UCA's
    Gave a nice lift vs stock... You should be happy.
    Will you be installing yourself?

    i got the same one. it rides very well, I did switch out the AALs to Dakars. The AALs were not cutting it when towing the boat and loading the bed.

    Overall I am 100 percent satisfied.

    I am installing it myself. Any tips? Did you have any issues getting your alignment in?

    I just had the same dilemma and chose to use the Boss coil overs. Really simple to install and adjust. You will save in labor unless you are doing it all yourself.

    Yeah, do your research. Tons of youtube videos to help you. I studied this one quite a bit before wrenching.

    No problems with alignment.

    Only issues I ran into was a stripped lug nut that was over tightened from my last tire install. Also ran I to minor issue with the tiny hidden Allen bolt inside the sway bar. ( passenger side got stripped during reassembly.
    Install is time consuming. I found installing the add a leaf was more intimidating than the front end install.
    Good luck!
