I know there are a ton of new threads started about lift questions. I have searched for a while now for some answers but cant seem to find anything. I have looked on the lift sticky also.
If someone has a link of where some of these questions are answered I would love a link. So sorry if this has been discussed a lot, but I cant find anything.
To the questions:
I ordered the toytec superflex springs which are rated at 2.5 inch rear lift with about 150lbs of weight in back. I also ordered the bilstein shocks which are 2inch extra travel. I am coming from a 2 inch spacer that is in the rear right now. my questions are:
1. Do i need longer sway bar links? (I have some 2nd gen ones that I read some where should fit but not totally sure if they will fit or if I will need them)
2. Can I get by without getting new UCA's and extending my panhard bar and longer brake line? I talked with toyec and he made it sound like I would be fine with just replacing the springs and shocks and that I would not need anything else. Is this true? I just want to make sure before I start replacing my rear shocks and springs that I have everything I need, I will hopefully be installing everything tomorrow. Also will my vehicle be able to get aligned properly with just replacing the springs and shocks?
3. Last question is: Is there any writeup on step by step instructions on how to lift the rear? I have found some on installing spacers but it wasnt very thorough so I am looking for something that is more of a step by step since I will be doing this myself and never have installed a lift before and want to make sure I do it right.
Again thanks for the replies, and I hope these questions havent been beaten to death, and if they have just let me know... thanks!
