Installed my Fat Pat's 2" body lift

Finally got around to installing my Fat Pat's body lift.

Completed ISR mod.

This past Saturday I replaced both LBJs, tie rod ends, 200k+ stock springs and old shocks with Billstein 5100s on 3rd perch and toytec springs.

 

[ShannanC]

This is my measurement for the front suspension from the ground to the bottom of the fender opening with stock suspension: 33.75"

I can't find the pic.

This is the measurement after the 2' Body lift from Fat Pat's, the 5100 Billsteins (3rd perch) and the Toytec springs.

 

[ShannanC]

That looks like 40.75" to me which is 7" of lift in the front! :banana:

I'm sure that everything will settle some. I still need to install the 5100s and the LC coils in rear along with all of the extended sway bar links. Hopefully this weekend or so.

OMG, that thing is going to sound like a swarm of angry bees.:biggrin1:

I shouldn't have put the 5100s on the 3rd perch. Super stiff! Almost feels like springs are fully compressed (not likely but feels that way). I will be lowering to the 2nd perch in the near future.

It's a shame because the truck was within 1/8" of being level. out:

Lowered to second perch and it rides great! 7-12s at work keeping me from getting much done.

Ended up with a 1.25" rake. I like the way it looks. Just need tires now.

those don't appear to be hub-centric.

I found out about that vibration issue from nonhub-centric vs hub-centric spacers after I had bought and installed the hubs. But, honestly I do not have any vibration.

BTW, if anyone is wondering..the Maxxis MT-762 Bighorn tires are AWESOME! Very smooth and quiet especially for the aggressive tread. I am thoroughly happy with my decision to go tall and skinny with the 255/85r16s also. With the lift set up that I ended up with the truck rides smoother than my friend's 2014 4runner. The 3rd gens have such a tight turn radius and I was able to keep the same turn radius with the narrow tires. I love driving my truck. :dancin:

 

[AZBub]

Love the look of skinny tyres. Looks good!
