3" Toytec lift leveling question

[JPWendtinc]

I have emailed Toytec, but I thought I would ask here while I wait for their answer.

I recently installed the Toytec ultimate lift. The description of the lift was 3" front and 2" rear. The kit is supposed to not only lift, but also level. After installation and driving a couple hundred miles, a quick measurement shows that I got 3" in the front and 3" in the rear. Unfortunately my truck still has a raked look to it. There is plenty of room on the coilover to raise the front. However, there is a big warning with the kit to NOT raise the front more than 3".

Does anyone have experience with this? Can I expect the rear shocks and springs to settle and level out?

Thank you in advance.

What size tires are you running with the lift? I just ordered my Radflo lift last week and looking to put some new shoes on the 4R

Got the response from Toytec, and I am excited about the answer.....I just didn't raise the truck enough. lol.

There is a bold section of the instructions that say not to raise the truck over 3", so I didn't. I never took into consideration that my shocks and springs were saggy and worn out from 115,000 miles.

The correct setting is 23" - 23.5" from the center of the hub to the fender.

I've heard that the supercoils lifted somewhere around 2.5"+, but I'm sure they will settle some after having driven on them for a couple months. That is interesting that Toytec recommended that lift range. I just put a lift on mine and im right at 23.5-23.75" in front as well. Like you, I have nearly 100k miles on mine and my springs had apparently sagged in he front as I gained 4"+ with my lift.

What are your current measurements and what are you planning to raise it up to? I would warn you to watch you CV boots. I already have one (only the inboard passenger boot) that is leaking, no tears though...yet. I reclamped it for a temporary fix today until I can get some better parts. So far so good.

My front is set at 21" inches right now.

Only because my "before" measurement was 18". So when I adjust the coil to 23" I will have gotten 5" of lift. lol.

I never took the time to measure the rear since they are not adjustable. I will update the pictures and measurement this weekend.
