Installed my lift today!

Finally got a chance to install my 3in OME lift today! It turned out great and I cant wait to see how it does out on the trails! Here's everything I installed:

- 885 coils with OME nitrocharger
- LR UCA's
- 3 leaf progressive add a leaf
- Bilstein 5100's in the rear
- XD Hoss 16x8 rims w/ 4.5in backspace
- BFG KM2's 255/85/16

 

Dude sweet ride.

 

Looks great man, I'm looking at same setup. OME seems to be the 3" of choice for sure.

 

Yea OME is a quality product. The ride quality seems great on the road so far, we'll see how she does offroad this weekend!

 

Did u order all from same place?
It looks like Fat Bobs has best price on LR uca

 

Looks nice! Is it me, or perhaps the camera angle, or does it have a little bit of the "bro" lean?

 

I got all the suspension parts from Wheelers Offroad. If you can find the UCA's for $395 thats a good deal.

 

It does have a little bit of the "bro" lean right now, i'm hoping the front end will settle a little bit once i get a few miles on it. Can anyone speak to if their front end settled after a while?

 

Nice looking lift man!!!
Aren't the Bilstein 5100's for a 0-1" lift? What would ya'll pair a 3" lift with as far as the rear shocks go.

 

Looks great! The front should settle a bit. No top plate spacers right?

 

You cannot void your warranty by changing out suspension parts...I'm not sure why a lot of people think that but there is an actual law preventing dealearships from voiding a warranty because of add ons. For example, if you add a 3" lift to your truck and your engine has trouble its still covered under warranty reguardless of the lift. However, if you put a 3" lift on and go wheeling and break a tie rod its on you. It has to be a direct relation to the aftermarket parts in order to void warranty.

I did put the top plate in but i might ultimately take it out if it doesn't settle in the way i'd like in the next month or so. Have people had bad experiences with the top plate?

 

A friend of mine installed the top plates with his and it didnt take long for his CV boots to tear.

 

Looks great, you'll love the 255s.

 

I had originally installed the toytec 1/2 inch and it was too much. Went with the 1/4" and went flat level (with Dakar leaf pack with 3rd leaf removed).

Truck looks great. Lovin the BFG Mud Terrains!

 

how much of a rake would you have if you hadn't removed that leaf from the rear? I want a similar set up with the 1/4 top plate to level out the front. Does the leaf need to be removed for it to be level even with the top plate in the front?

 

1/4" or 1/2"?

 

Just the 1/4"

 

I've never heard anything bad. I ran the 1/2'' top plate (with 884s though) for many years with no problem.

 

Yes, the M-F Act does protect you a lot more than nothing as far as a warranty claim, however, as mentioned, certain things can increase the risk of having certain repairs denied. For instance a lift increases the CV angle beyond the factory specs. If your CV joint fails, and Toyota can show within a reasonable amount of proof that the CV failed because you installed a lift, they can, and will deny replacing the CV joint. This goes with anything that gets altered with a lift. You just have to pay attention and do your due diligence to keep up your maintenance and such when you make a modification like that.
