3 inch lift and/or leveling kit pics thread

Thanks for your help! If I just do the adjustables at 1.75" will I achieve the look I want (a little cali)? I dont want to do 2.5" and be maxed with a rough ride

 

sub'd great looking trucks getting mine in a few weeks just waiting on tax return

 

You best bet would be to do what I did, get the fully adjustable ToyTec Coil-overs. The are infinitely adjustable with two spanners. You can adjust until your hearts content.
When you get tired of being nose high, or decide that it needs more, you can do the adjustment work yourself. That is the other benefit, you don't need to go to the shop to have them put in; however, you need to get an alignment once complete.
They are like $800 but you can see the benefit, at least I can!

 

Thank you! How much would it cost to install these? Seems like a pretty penny in my opinion.

 

I did it alone in my garage, took about 3 hours.

 

14 Taco, 3" Rough Country Lift, BFG Rugged Terrain 285/70/17 tires on Dick Cepek DC-2 wheels. Had to cut and mod the front mudflaps a bit, had minor rubbing at near full turn backing up, sometimes going forward. Been fine since the mod.

Guys can you spread some knowledge to me please? What is the tsb and do I need it done? Will it ever come back to haunt me If I don't get it done? What does it affect? Thanks for yalls help!

 

What's the specs on your wheels and tires, including backspacing?

TSB = Technical Service Bulletin
Basically, it's a bulletin about a particular problem or repair that has occurred on a large number of vehicles (sometimes the TSB applies to several car models and years). These are pretty much exactly like recalls EXPECT that they are NOT covered by the manufacturer. However, there is a possibility of the problem being covered under warranty. Because these problems are not life-threatening or dangerous, they are not classified as recalls.

You can look up TSB's on websites such as All Data or Mitchell On Demand. Websites that are usually not free. There are some out there that are free but I do not know which ones exactly.

Thank you! What is the issue with rear suspension?

 

Weak rear springs...

 

Weak as in towing or what? Do i have to get them replaced?

 

If I run bilsteins at 1.75 with stock SR5 coils and a 1/4" spacer on each side, that will be about 2" of lift correct? Some one said you get double the lift of the spacer? Good idea to use stock sr5 coils after 100k miles?

 

I'm not sure of the exact wording of the TSB. If you use the forum search feature you will find lots of information about the questions you are asking...

 

2006 Dbl cab long box. PO put an add-a-leaf in the back, it was exactly 3" higher in the back over the front. I bought the Bilstein 5100's from Essex distributors in BC - good deal and cheap shipping in Canada. Here's before and after installing at a buddy's place. The rear sits a little lower in the pics because I was switching wheels at the same time. Winter rims are off an FJ
