Finally Lifted

[Rcastle]

So last Thursday my Toytec Ultimate came, so I immediately had to go put it on. Then I had to go out of town Friday and just got home this afternoon. I did have a chance to upgrade to some 285/76/16's before I left though.

Here are some pics.

Before

After

And of course checking the flex.

I have a lot more projects and some other stuff I have done. If you guys would like I can do a write-up on the install as well. I have to say it took us 2.5 hours to do this lift install with 2 floor jacks, a socket set and a few wrenches. I was impressed with how simple it was. Loving the 3" too!

Did you do anything to the bumpstops?

 

[Rcastle]

The ultimate kit came with the rear bumpstop extenders.

Superflex in the rear?

a write up on the installation would be awesome because I am getting a toytech boss at the end of july and it would be nice to know what to expect... the rig look bad ass! I cant wait for mine to be that tall

The sway bars were disconnected in the pictures. I reconnected the front this afternoon. Leaving the rear off to see how it handles. I was out of town until today so haven't really gotten to drive it yet.

I've had my rear off for about a year and don't even notice it

Looks great, I think every 3rd gen should have a 3" lift and 285/75's minimum.

Nice and thanks for the pictures, this the the kit I wanted. I think front sway bar will have less effect on your driving and more flex if disconnected. I would go ahead and reconnect the back. What was your exprience? Did you try with it connected and disconnected?

2 highlanders in Portland, all right!!

Like the look, I can't wait for my lift. But at least now I know exactly how it will look.:thumb:

I had both disconnected for a day and it was all wibbely wobbely around the corners. I reconnected the front and it now it feels just like before.
