    I am trying to acheve a 3" lift in the front. I already have 2.8" in the rear. My question is, how do the different components add up? I have the Toytec coils and Billies will be set at 1.75 and a 3/8 spacer on the driver to correct the lean and a 1/4 spacer on passanger. Do they all add up, because if they do, I will be close to 3.6" and I don't want the "bro" rake. A guy at Wheelers said that the billies plus springs plus the 3/8 spacer would be ok. 1.75+1.6+.375= 3.72?. Do they not add up like this? Thanks.

    you are going to need new upper control arms for that much lift in the front.

    Overly complicated. Just install shit and see what you end up with. It'll look good regardless

    being a double cab guy. that will reduce your lift some compared to a single cab or access cab. the 1/4 spacer gives you close to half inch of lift alone. not sure about the 3/8 spacer (maybe 3/4"). Before my current lift, I did the eibachs, and bilstein 5100's @ .85 for 2.45" of lift. to get the full 3" do 1/4 spacer on passanger and 3/8 spacer on the driver to fix bro lean. problem solved

    I might just have to see what works and start over if I don't like it. Oh well.

    Because I don't want 3.5" of lift in the front.
