    Anyone have any clue why or how this could be?
    And before anyone ask's why the hell I got a cheap spacer lift. Its because Im selling my truck and I want to save my good OME suspension. so I got a 3" toytec front spacer lift and slightly used bilstein stock struts.
    And since my 285 duratracs have about 45k miles on them I figured ide just sell them with the truck.
    But why the hell did it give me 4"s of lift??:confused:

    I or ready swapped out the 1/2" top plate spacers for 1/4" ones I had. and its helped but still like 3.5" lift. Its almost like they sent me the wrong pre load spacer or something. Any insight to this would be great!

    I plan on leaving Toytec a message about this, because they should really figure out whats wrong and not send out a 3" spacer lift that's actually giving people 4"s. :eek:

    Maybe this is something similar to how the same sized pants from several different brands can fit differently...

    I moved the truck and then remeasured. Even got a allignment and it was still at 4"
    Well its more like 3.5" now since I swapped out the top plate spacers
