Lift is in w PICS!!! OME, Superflex, 5100's, Daystar, and Michelin 265/70/18's!!!

I wish I could fit bigger tires but I don't wanna lose the gas mileage and don't wanna do more work making them fit

Nice choice on the tires. Did you just trim the front fenders and how much did you have to trim? I just ordered the same tires but just one size up 265/65R18. Hopefully, I won't need to trim.

Usually, when you lift 3" it does look better with ATs or MTs, but going to 33" tires make it look better than the stock size.

70 series is plenty of sidewall I think.

I think some don't realize you have the 18" wheels.

Hmmm it looks like you gained more lift from those superflex springs than my 895's...... I might need to upgrade.

He does have a 1.5" daystar spacer in the rear driver coil too level out the lean. Im not sure about yellowssm's lift #'s but i got 2.25" from my superflex coils once they settled. If your gonna get a rear bumper, stick with the 895's.

I haven't trimmed yet but it shouldn't be too bad (I hope) These tires are almost 33's I think they are 32.7". You probably won't need any trimming with the size you're going.

Agreed

I think I gained and extra inch from single 1.5" daystar spacer I used in driver rear only. It is supposed to level out drivers side sag

I know they haven't settled yet but I'll take some measurements from ground to fender to see how tall it is right now

 

[zstampe]

I've got the 1.5 daystar on my drivers side too.....

 

[yellowssm]

Here are my measurements so far from ground to the fender. Remember this was just installed today and hasn't settled, and I haven't got an alignment yet. Also 35 psi in tires and 1/2 - 3/4 tank of gas.

Driver front 38"
Drier rear 40 3/32"
Passenger front 38"
Passenger rear 40"

Hmmm, how much lift did you get from the 895's? I assume it was more than the TTFJ/DS lift.

I think it adds an 1" on driver side and 1/2" on passenger side

Edit**** Nvm I thought you were asking about the daystar spacer

 

[zstampe]

Lot more than ttfj/ds lift. It is probably right at 2 inches or so. Here's a pic.

I know I know, I need 285's but we just found out we have our first kid on the way.

My front and rear driver side is a bit lower than the passenger side. I only lifted the front and not by much ~1.5". The driver side may be lower due to the gas tank. I keep forgetting to compare height differences when full and near empty.

 

[alex56]

how the heck do you have 1.5" spacer on top of superflex coils making 3.5" approx on the Rear drivers side and only 2" on the other without that being lopsided, I understand componsating for extra weight, but 1.5" seems a bit much for just one side, might be why your front CV angle's people are talking about up front is so off, I have superflex coils and 1" spacers and it sits completley level all in the rear

What do you mean 3.5" on one side and 2" on the other? You mean in the rear? My measurements are pretty close side to side. Aren't my cv angles good or are they supposed to be slanting the other way?

You said you have superflex coils, which are the same approx 2" in height both sides, then you have a 1.5" spacer on one side? that 3.5" on the driver rear and 2" on the passanger rear, Im real anal on rake, My car sits from ground to fender 46" front 47" rear. measurments arnt necessairly everything, make sure you measure on a real level surface, as any grade difference will make for the suspension to dampen to stay level. I can see a lean in your car to the passanger side in the rear as it sits lower in one of your pics and the Driver side is jacked way up, IMO, i wouldnt feel safe having/knowning my drivers side has another 1.5" flex/length in it and the other side does not, might wanna remember that if your offroading, but thats just me and my opinion

Well I read a lot of posts about adding the 1.5" daystar just to the driver rear and most people get 1" on the drivers side and .5 on the passenger side. It was kinda weird to me why it would raise the passenger side also but it has something to do with the suspension. A member named phodog on toyota120 has a few posts about it. My measurements were done in my garage but honestly I don't know if it's leveled. Also I'm sure my suspension will settle some. I will measure again tomorrow at work. Plus the issues some people are having with my lift would probably come into play if I was off roading but I'm 99% sure it will only see streets and highways unfortunately lol.

Yea ive been on here, and 120 a long time and i have never read about putting a 1.5" just on one side, ive herd of a .5 or a .75 but 1.5 seems a bit ridiculous to me lol, Suspension will settle, give it a good month or so, you might find your RR will sink a bit and may look funny so adding another spacer there may come into play

I was planning on a 1000 mile drive out of state to go boarding. Should I wait till after to get an alignment? It feels really off right now.

Also here's that post I was talking about the 1.5" spacer
