Toytec 1" spacer lift installed

[G.I.G.]

I picked up my 4R yesterday with a Toytec 1" leveling kit installed. Below are some pics.....

As many have mentioned, this is the "look" that the 4th gen 4R's should come from the factory with. IMO, the 70 series tires and 1" leveling kit gives it an aggressive, stock look.

It drives and feels the same as stock. I can notice the taller feel, but I was also driving a Prius for the last week so getting back into my 4R felt like driving Big Foot. I'm really dig'n it so far!

Before....

After....

As you can tell, it is not a drastic difference. I think it is a good option for those who are a little conservative (like me) and want just a slightly more aggressive look.

That looks beautiful! I want to do the same thing but can't find anyone to install the spacers!

GIG , so the spacer bolts up metal to metal plate and the rubber is between the spring and the plate .

Check around with 4-wheel drive shops, performance shops, and if all else fails, your local dealer. There should be someone who can throw them on for you and align it.

Yes, from what I can tell that looks to be the case.

It's doing great. No squeaks or anything to let you know the spacer is there. Ride and handling are the same. I wish I did it sooner!

I might have the alignment done again when I take it in for the next tire rotation, however. Maybe I'm paying too much attention to it, but I notice a slight pull to the left. It is very slight, but I think the spacers may have settled into place and need another alignment now that I have driven on them for a couple thousand miles. Nothing to be concerned about, I'm just anal and since I bought $1,000 worth of new rubber a month before the spacers went on, I just want to be cautious and preserve my investment.

Did you get the "Toy1-T" model number lift? If so, Toytec's website says it only yields a 3/4" lift. See site below. I know it is nit-picky, but did you result in a 1" total or 3/4" total front lift?

G.I.G. ?? Is that the p/n you installed?

That looks pretty nice! I have been looking for pictures of what it looks like. It definitely seems to take away the nose-down look. Right now I am on the fence between that and the 2" front lift from Daystar.
