The ToyTec BOSS Lift Thread

Cut the tie and the bushing will center.

 

I did. One end sticks out farther then the other.

 

They are mis-alignnent spacers. They are designed to off set the bottom of the shock a bit for clearance issues. In some cases its with the CV axle, but with most its to clear the sway bar. Put the thicker one toward the sway bar side if you are running a sway bar. If no sway bar put it toward the CV axle side.

 

Anyone know if the boss lift voids factory warranty?

 

They will not void your factory warranty.
The Magnuson Moss Warranty Act has you covered.

 

Perfect. Just ordered the Boss Kit. Thanks for your help.

 

Post a pic when you have installed it!!

Boss 2.0 lift 285’s

 

I get the slip light when turning. I have the BOSS lift, Light racing UCAs, 285 tires, and 4Runner TRD pro black rims.

 

I have a question for everyone else. I have a slight vibration when taking off and can feel very slight roughness or vibration when riding down the road. My rock sliders are almost touching the body. I thought of installing a 1 inch body lift to get them away from the body but the local shop here said my vibration would get worse. Does that sound right?

 

And I noticed one leaf is very rusty and I have squeaking. Should I take it out and have it powder coated or is there a better leaf pack I should buy?

 

Did you do the install yourself? If so how did it go....any pointers or areas of concern I should pay most attention to?

 

No, my garage was a wreck and I didn't want problems like vibration. I paid a very reputable and expensive shop to install it. I have vibration. My pointers and tips are to install it yourself. It;s not hard and I would have rather have my slight vibration and saved the money.

 

Have you done the east coast gear supply fix for the needle bearing?

 

No, found that thread recently and was thinking about it for Christmas.

 

Anyone have any tips/tricks to prevent squeaking/vibrations down the road?

 

Park your truck?

I kid, I kid. We are going to need some more detailed information though to help you figure out a solution.

Where are these sounds/vibrations coming from?

When do they happen?

And so on.

 

No. A body lift will move the body further away from the frame and drivetrain. Your drivetrian does not move. Vibe will stay the same. Did you install the 3° shims under your leaf pack to pivot your rear diff and realign your drive shaft? That could be your vibe as well.

Not worth PCing it since the leaves rub and it will be rusty again in a year. Leaf packs no matter what rust. The good news is spring steel unlike others steels takes forever to rust through. Your leaf pack itself will be shot before you ever have to worry about the rust.

 

Thank you, Thats what I thought about the body lift. I don't know if they installed the shims. I will check. I guess I'll spray WD-40 on the leafs and see if it gets rid of the squeak for a time.

 

Or a product called fluid film. It works for me some and also will slow down the rusting. The more I leave mine alone i.e. let them rust and get dirty, the quieter they get. But then they look like crap.

 

I don't mind waiting for it to get quieter. Can't really see it anyway unless you crawl under.
