Lift, Alignment, Bumper

[coleb10]

Lifted and leveled the front end of my 4th Gen with the Toytec Front Lift Coilovers last weekend and installed Bilstein shocks on the rear. Schrockworks bumper arrived yesterday but wont be able to install for another week or so. I have recent tires and dont want to put too many miles on them before getting an alignment. During the week I only drive about 11 miles per day. The front was raised about 1.5 inches. Seems like I should wait on the alignment until after the bumper is installed since I may need to make some additional adjustments to compensate for the additional weight. I wanted to get some input on this before I go any further. Thanks in advance.

11 miles per day for a week, that's not to going cause any adverse wear problems.

You'd be fine to wait for the alignment once the bumper is installed. That way you know everything is where you want it and where it should be!

Alignment

Thank you for the replies. The front end isnt tracking off to one side or anything else when I let go of the steering wheel. It seems okay until the bumper install. Sure looks better with the front end lifted.

Rear higher on one side

Toytec coilover front lift and rear Bilstein 5100 shocks installed. Shrockworks front bumper installed. Then all wheels aligned. All looks great. Measuring from the ground to the top of the rear fenders there is about a 3/4 inch difference in height.

No cargo in the vehicle and almost completely empty fuel tank. 68k miles. Still using stock rear springs. Trying to figure out why there is such a drastic difference in height for the rear.
