toytec lift & blocks question - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

with the 3" coilovers, the 1/2" spacer, and the AAL's.. does the lift sit perfectly level after it settles, or will I need another 1/2" or something...?

I'm putting mine on in a few weeks.. and was wondering if there would be any major dissadvantages of adding a 2" spacer in front, instead of the 1/2" that is included, and a 1 1/2" block in the rear. (which would keep the same demographics, if the 1/2" spacer that is already included levels the lift)

has anyone done a combo like this? will I need a diff drop?

for a dc taco, the 885's with 1/2" spacer and aal's seem to sit level. it would be very difficult to install a 2" spacer ontop of the ome coils. not to mention the ride would SUCK

How would the 2" spacer be more difficult than the 1/2"? if i have the right hardware, shouldn't it be similar? also, how would the ride differ?

I hope I don't sound rude, I have just never thought of these things.

because the 2" is 1.5" more than the 1/2". i dont belive there is enough space to install.

i belive 6shooter did something similar but cant remember exactly what, he will chime in and let oyu know more.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the toytec coils lift 2 1/2" themselves and then the 1/2" spacer is to get the full three. Three inches of lift is the max you can get on a 4x4 without putting too much stress on the drivetrain components/steering column length/etc. If you put the 2" spacers on you would get 4 1/2" up front, which would cause all kinds of problems?

^ even them i dont know if getting 4 1/2" is possible without cutting the subframe.

just like pro comp 6" lift, right?

you dont want to put more than the .5 spacer on the ome coils. i tried to do the 2'' procomp spacer on top of the coil and when we decompressed it it wasnt straight and looked really unsafe.
