4inch lift without cutting the crossmember

Recently bought a 2015 double cab long box trd sport 4x4. Original owner had the bds 4inch lift installed that cut the crossmember. Issue with this
1.) Didnt gain any clearance

2.) The cv shafts are actually angled slightly up.

I like the current height of the truck but would like to gain some clearance, live where we get a lot of snow. I've tried looking through the forum with no exact answer.
I've had same truck with 3 inch bilstien 5100s as a 3inch lift with no diff drop without any issues.

So my question is has anyone done a 4inch lift without the crossmember chop?

Will be replacing the current stock height shocks and the 4inch block lift with fox shocks built for a 4inch lift, diff drop, extended upper and lower control arms designed for 2-4inch lift. Dont do much off roading.

 

4" lift is not possible on a 4x4 without removing the crossmember (not without major headaches with your CVs & steering and ride quality, anyway).
Your crossmember is already been cut, you're best off simply working with what you have.

BDS is good quality stuff, it just sounds like your shocks (or the springs) are spent (and is why the upward CV shaft angle). Replacing them with the 4-6" lift Fox shocks is a great option. If you get them through AccuTune Offroad, they can retune their valving for the best of both worlds (street + offroad). Free of charge too, only thing is they don't offer discounts.

Those shocks are available with the DSC option too, if you so desire.

Hope that helps.

 

Yeah it does a lot thanks for the information I appreciate it.
