I want to install the spidertrax this weekend, but if it means no rubbing with the top spacer, I will just order that and wait to do it all at once. Thanks for your help, you've got a solid set up going on so far!

I appreciate it sir.

I put the toytec spacer in first and didn't like how the tires looked so skinny so I got some Spidertrax spacers and put those on. I'm driving my pro daily and I haven't rubbed at all or to the point I even notice but it does get fairly close at full lock.

I'm 100% sure you will rub bad without a toytec spacer in the front.

Now that is what I am talking about, looks sweet! Thanks for the comparison pic @Shaolin , but man I would love to see this thing next to a stock T4R now to see the comparison.

I saw a link for a Toytec lift but it included springs that it doesn't look like you changed out. If you wouldn't mind can you tell me where you got the kit from and if there is some special detail I might need to find it? You planning on adding the Spidertrax?

simonsay can you post a pic of the entire front coilover assembly. I'm interested in seeing what the bottom spring perch looks like.

Thanks!

You remove the old thin one...

And replace it with the toytec version...

It slides right off and the new one slides right in.

I was lucky that another member here in town know how to do it. After seeing it done, it's definitely an easy install with the right tools. I've never installed any type of suspension, and feel confident that I would be able to do it....with the tools of course (I can hardly find a screw driver when I need one). Hardest part was compressing the springs, which can be solved by taking them to your local bigo tires or any other shop to compress them for you...
