Toytec Lift Height… Question

[CRB Racing]

Aloha I just wanted to start off by saying Hi and Happy new year.

So yesterday I installed a Toytec Ultimate lift on my 98 4Runner. It already had a spacer lift installed years ago so I am not sure what the stock height was.
When I called and asked the tech guys at toytec I was told that stock height should be about 20" from center of the hub to the lower lip of the fender and that I should be shooting for 23" with the lift installed.

Here are the measurements before I installed the kit…
Front:
R/H 22.5
L/H 21.5

Rear:
R/H 23
L/H 22

After the lift was install height is 24" all around.

Toytec's instructions say not to exceed 23" of lift on the front coil overs and they have them preset to 2.5-3 inches stock.

So my question is should I leave it the way it sits with their preset amount or should I adjust the coil over and lower the front?
The truck is dead level the way it sits now.

I'd leave it if it were me. They should settle slightly after you have some miles on them. They aren't going to settle a full inch, but it should come down slightly. Have you aligned it yet? Sometimes an alignment will change the height slightly also. If you haven't already, when the truck is at ride height with the tires installed, I'd loosen the UCA bolts, then re-torque them. There can be a lot of stress on those bushings if they are not relaxed since they are at a different angle now. That can also affect the ride height slightly. What do your cv angles look like? If they are too steep it might not be a bad idea to lower them a little.

No alignment yet. I still need to install the total chaos uca before I get it aligned. I did install the diff drop that came with the set up so the CV angle looks about the same as it was before the lift.

Drove it around a bit today. What a night and day difference between the worn out stock stuff with the spacers to a proper suspension! There is a slight rattle from the rear shock mounts! Looks like I'll have to tighten them a little more if I can get my hands up there...

Dumb question but did you happen to look and see if you had a small bodylift on it. Its very common especially with the spacers being used. Spacers and bodylift are the cheapest ways to get lil height out of a vehicle. Curious did you go with the toytec coilover or boss. I'll be purchasing a set soon for my sons truck. Post pics of new lift.
