Lift vs ride height list
- Thread starter ebg18t
- Start date
Since that is a spacer and reuses your current spring/damper just add 3"/2" to your current ride height. If you change springs (like adding FJ's) you will see much more variance.
Just installed the Toytec Ultimate lift. But, I swapped out the rear springs for OME 895E- these were supposed to lift 1.5" but ended up lifting about 2.25". Glad I didn't go with any higher. The fronts I had to turn down about 1/4 inch for about a 1/2 inch decrease in lift.
So,
----- Before--- After
DF--- 18.75--- 22.0
PF--- 19.0--- 22.0
DR--- 20.75--- 23.0
PR--- 21.0--- 23.25
Question- how much "settling" can I count on? I haven't driven it much at all as I want to get an alignment done before it starts wearing on my brand new BFGs. Overall, it is more lift than I was thinking it would be. Do I need to drive/settle it before alignment? I don't want to get the alignment done, then have it settle, and then do it again.
Thanks, Dan.

Give it a few days to settle before you get the alignment. Are you sure about your rear springs? Did you mean 895E?
It's kinda hard to know the exact lift amount compared to stock since everyone's stock springs are like saggy old boobs. Some are worse than others.

I did mean 895E- I edited it, thank you. As for a few days to settle...is that just sitting around (I have a car I drive more in summer)? It has been sitting in the driveway but don't I need to drive it to settle them? Thank you!
It will settle better getting used. Needs to get cycled to really settle.

[MENTION=89794]BackOff[/MENTION] what are your overall thoughts on the Rancho Quicklift? I haven't heard much about them on here but it is definitely a nice price point for an easy to install full unit.
EDIT: Just read your build thread so I see what you said there.

Right just thought I would add.
I like them for the most part, good for a stock'ish 4runner.
The price and the dampening adjustments 1-9, is nice.
I am always adjusting the shocks on the fly due to road or runner weight.
Be nice if they had different coil spring rates available. Or a threaded shock body so you could crank the coil down for some extra weight.
They don't like the heavy front bumper but it works, just softer than I would like.
Just remember as you lift you may start to need other items.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extended rear sway-bar links. Needed. Some have removed the rear sway bars.
Front sway-bar relocate. Can just yank the thing off too.
Upper control arms, I think the consensus is over 3" on that. I lost the castor I wanted, (twitchy steering) so did the UAC's.
Extended rear brake lines. I didn't do that...yet.
ZPC, zero point calibration. ...I need to do that still.
Diff drop. some do some don't.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hive mind may chime in. I am just repeating what I have read.
When you pull the sway bars off you kinda need to drive more like your in a van, preload the suspension before corners helps, no sudden jerky steering wheel input. In my limited experience that is.
/cheers
