Lifting help

Doing a 3” toytec lift with 2” in the rear. If I threw a 1” spacers and had 4” front and 2” rear would it be uneven?

 

Doubtful. The 3 inch lift is not always 3 inches. Mine was 2.5 and 2.25. Required a 1/4 inch spacer on one side and 3/4 (1/2 inch plus 1/4) on the other. This is with new springs. Install the lift then take it from there.

 

awesome thanks

 

are you 4x4? If so, 4” lift is no good.

 

yea I am, why is it bad?

 

Do not stack lifts. Ever.

If you want a 4 inch lift you need to go with a drop bracket lift like BDS. You will catastrophically damage your CV axles and CV boots running them at that steep of an angle, especially in 4wd.

 

This.

 

Wouldn’t a diff drop fix that?

 

No, a diff drop is only beneficial witha 3 inch and under lift. All it does is rotate the diff, it does not actually drop it. So you don't gain much. I have one and can barely see the difference before and after.

 

Alright thanks for the help

 

I'd just try the 3 inch lift to start out with, these trucks look like they're on stilts if you lift them too much anyways.

 

Here's mine with a 2.5 inch lift and 33x12.2" tires (305/70R16s):

 

alright thanks

 

if you’re dead set on 4” I’d take a look at BDS for a drop bracket lift. OR you can get a 3” and add a 1” body lift. People talk a lot of shit about body lifts, sometimes for good reason, but a 1” will not hurt anything.

all that being said, I’m pretty happy with my 2.5” lift.

 

Don’t forget UCAs if you ain’t got them already!

 

I didn’t lol thanks

 

I’m not dead set on 4” lift but i’m dead set on this stance lol but that’s a 2wd with spindles

 

I’ve had a 4 inch drop bracket lift on my truck for 2 1/2 years with no problems or issues. As long as you don’t mind cutting your cross member and everything’s installed right you shouldn’t have any issues. Like you, I like the stance.

 

Yep, people hate on drop brackets but I kind of wish I had gone with the 4 inch BDS instead, with 35s. The 33s and 2.5 inch lift do look great though

 

Yeah, lot’s of haters. I’m not a hard core wheeler but I do a lot of hunting so plenty of off- roading.
