Finally getting towards finishing my project. Went ahead and replaced everything up front along with putting on the Toytec lift. So funny how the same vehicle came be different from model to model. I had a 2000 before with a 3” Toytec lift and had zero rubbing. Never trimmed a thing. Now with this one it is rubbing like a big dawg. I trimmed the front bumper flare pieces but I’m still rubbing in the back. I have an alignment scheduled Friday so I’m hoping they can squeeze some positive caster out of it to help that end of the rubbing.

Overall though, it rides amazing with all the new bushings and parts. Still have to install my eimkeith PCK and I’m going to fix my steering wheel notch with the tack weld mod here soon. Otherwise I’m pretty satisfied.

I look to have gotten better clearance. What size tire are you running?

And what's your Center Hub to Fender Flare measurement? Looks like you might be able to squeeze out a bit more lift from those fronts.

THANK YOU for posting. I am going to measure when I get home. I feel that they are sitting a bit low in the front too but didn't want to crank them too far and end up with a rear sag. Also wondering if I'll be able to crank the lift up a bit without using spring compressors.

The tires are just 285/75-16s.

What are your measurements? I have an alignement friday and am hoping to have this thing shaken down and the height set before then.

Thanks again.

I still have a bit a adjusting to do. I want to bring the LF up a bit and the RF down a tad.

Currently:
LF 22.75 ¦ RF 23.50
LR 23.50 ¦ RR 23.50

My understanding is that one full revolution is about 1/16 of an inch of thread change which = 1/4" of height change.

Thanks for that info. You have the aluma ones as well? I'm reading differing things about whether you can adjust them on the truck or not. Some say you have to use a spring compressor. Really not trying to take all that apart again

I went ahead and made some adjustments today. First off I got my tires pressures closer to what I think I’ll want. They were tight.

I was able to adjust the coil over height with the shocks on the truck at full droop pretty easily. Some people seem to have trouble with this. WD did make a big difference. I did 4 turns and it seemed to get me sitting right. I called Toytec and asked about the max exposed threads allowed and they said 1.25”. What I didn’t realize is there is a little instep on the collar that exposes more threads. Anyone know if you should measure from the top of the collar or what?

Either way, the ride is way improved after these adjustments and the rubbing is all but gone. Little more trim tweaking and it’ll be perfect.
