Trail-gear, thanks for the post and great pics.

**Trail-Gear** · 08-02-2006, 10:47 AM

Stock Numbers:

Front fender to ground 35 1/4"
Rear fender to ground 37 1/4"
One wheel forklift test 16.5"

After Daystar lift in installed:

Front fender to ground 38"
Rear fender to ground 38 1/2"
One wheel forklift test 15"

The ride quality on the road was good and did not seem to change with the installation of the lift.

This lift gave more lift in the front then it did in the rear and leveled the truck nicely. It took about 6 hours to install the kit (front and rear).

A loss of 1.5" of of articulation resulted from installing the lift.

thank you. Nice pics. I will likely order (1) of spidertrax spacers for the front wheels, and use of the the other 2 pairs I have for the rears, since I had no issue there.

The other nice thing about spidertrax spacers is that they are made to fit the OEM Toyota rims. The blue ring you see in the picture is the stock rim resting on the hub and not stressing the lung nuts.

Glad you mentioned that, Now I gotta order front and rears. Want them to be matched, not mismatched, since they show through.

Sorry I should have mentioned that the center caps still fit. No need to get all 4.

Not with spidertrax, possible yes with others..

Thanks TisilverFJ, I can't believe I didn't even see that. Must have been tired.

Doing mine today.

How hard is it to do the rear? Looks like for me, that will be the most difficult. Mostly, the compressing spring part. The tool that I got is a little different and I dont know if it will do the job. hope so.

Good luck DK, I am an install retard so no help from me. Be sure to post of pics and details of the lift. Where you had a hard time and how long it took, etc. thanks
