Toytec now selling 1" body lift for 5th gens

Honestly the gap is barely noticeable and a 1" higher center of gravity is minor. I honestly haven't noticed mine feeling "top heavy" or less stable since I did it. I won't be going 35s unless I re-gear but will be going with the 285/75 Nitto Ridge Grapplers soon

Don't you have 305s already? I shot you a pm also.

yes but 305s at 33" tall not 35"
Oh I just meant why the 285/75 Nittos? You don't like the 305s?

Also sorry to bother you again, but what did you mean by raising the aluminum bumper 1 inch with the 8 bolts? I have to try to explain to my install guy...

The front aluminum bumper (not the cover) has crush cans mounted on it. Those cans secure to the frame horns via 12 bolts (6 on each side of the truck). He means you move the cans (and bumper) up one notch and lose 4 bolt holes...

I like the height and width but not the E rate because they're a bit stiffer than my previous tire, 285/70 KM2 which were D rated. Also they dropped my MPG 1-2. I like the Ridge Grappler because the size and it's C rated. You can definitely feel the difference when they're aired up and I usually keep mine about 35psi.
 
There's also other issues you can run into. Prime example is TheWraith and his build, where he tried to pair up an Icon Stage 7 lift and then do a body lift to fit bigger tires. Long story short, he found that he would need additional parts to link the shifter and the transfer case, among other issues. Definitely worth the read, as he details the issues well.

I need to read up on what his issues were. I just finished my Toytec 1 in body lift and I already had an ICON stage 7. I see no issues so far.

How was the install? Did you do it yourself or have it done? I bought mine a couple of months ago but no shop will touch it... I would like to do it myself just don't know if I have the proper tools.

It was very easy and straight forward.. All you need is socket set and a floor jack. I'm going to do a write up on my build thread. Pics coming sokn

Looks great!
Did you run into any problems? Any feedback/suggestions/etc for those of us who are curious?

Nope No Problems , im running NFAB steps and if you look close to my pic, Gap between the rocker panel and NFABs look normal as when i didnt have the bodylift, The Install was done by one of Hawaiis Top Lift shop (Maui Offroad) they did a very good job and it took about 4 hours.Ride still feels awesome!

Was looking at the Toytec spacers. Do you really need shocks or can you just install the spacers?? Local shop says spacers only are just fine- I'm not looking for serious off-roading- just occasional. Really just want the truck to look better (and be able to jump bigger curbs when necessary:thumb:- without scrapping the limited front bumper).

Its really what your needs are and what your going to be using your rig for, im not really a spacer guy thats why i went with Bilstein Shocks along with Toytec Coils all around. But its preety much on you ,on how you want your set up.
