If the bumpstops are an inch from the pad (where they'll contact) then you've only got an inch of uptravel. Joe at Teraflex, the rep here, is constantly accepting emails from customers who have experienced issues with their lifts sagging- feel free to shoot him a PM and ask him about warranty replacement coils.

Today I put on my 33" tires (Toyo Open Country AT2 I use for summer) and I took a couple of measure and this is how it look like: Front fender to floor is 38" (space between fender and tire is 5"). Rear fender to floor is 38.5" ((space between fender and tire is 5.5"). I was sure I was 0.75" lower in the front but in reality I'm only 0.5" lower (I double check by measuring the distance between the front rail and floor 8.75", and also rear rail and floor 9.25"). So now if I put TF spacer leveling kit, the front will be higher the the rear by 0.5". Don't know if it's enough to see a difference?



What do you think?

Sorry for the typo mistakes: " is suppose to be "inches"....

You're off by 1/2" now, so aesthetically it is the same. The difference is that the rake will be helpful to your gas mileage. Reverse rake would be detrimental.

I'm lower by 0.5" before the TF kit. So now I think that I should put the same amount of inches front and back...

Stephane87 03-24-2014 03:27 PM

Does anybody have a suggestion of a lift that would give me the same amount of inches in the front and the rear?
Ex: 1.5"/1.5" or 2"/2".....

You can buy the spacers on ebay or through most any of the vendors here. With you still being on stock coils, you can expect them to sag with weight- so your spacers may only be 'correct' for a relatively short period of time.

I don't think my spring will sag that much since I'm all stock and don't have intention to add bumpers or winch.

Does someone know if this is thru; I saw a lot of comments about the TF springs sagging more and faster then the stock ones?!?!?

I'm at 5+ years on a TF 2.5" 4-door spring lift (revision a) with no sag in the springs. I understand TF may have changed specs after 2009.
