Lift kit installed, experiencing an issue. Please advise

[jluu [OP]]

I installed my front suspension setup over the weekend. Upgraded from my Rough Country 3" lift. Here is what I installed:
OME 885 coils
Bilstein 5100 shocks (on lowest perch, no lift)
Toytec top plate spacers to gain 3" lift
LR UCA's
After installing the suspension, the front end is definitely nose high. I have put on about 200 miles and it has settled a bit. I still have to install bilstein 5100s and toytec superflexs in the rear.

The problem I am having is when I accelerate, especially out of turns (U-turn, freeway on ramp, etc) the front end vibrates and makes a tuh tuh tuh tuh noise and it feels like I am not getting traction from the tires. Now, is this because I have not added more weight up front to support the 885 medium coils? My bumper is currently being built and is about 1 month out. Is this normal for this suspension setup without the additional weight on the front?

I can't really help with your problem but was wondering; Is there any reason you went with the spacer instead of using a higher perch on the 1500's.

Can you post front shot of your truck? Based on the side view even, it appears that your alignment is way off, maybe just an impression, not the case. Did you do alignment? Those KM2`s is riding on the otside lugs will do " tuh tuh tuh tuh noise "

P.S. i would rather use dials on the 5100s then top spacers to get back to 3" lift

Any time you make major changes to your front suspension, you really need to get an alignment done. I bet your vibration disappear after that.

Toytec doesn't recommend using the perches with the lift springs. They only recccomend using those settings to level or raise the height with stock springs

I don't currently have a pic of the front. I can tell you though that my alignment has been off for a while and veers to the left.
I am getting it aligned after driving it around for little bit longer to let the suspension settle.

Never heard of this... do you have a link to this recommendation?

Take her in for alignment when rear lift is done

Yeah, I will look for it later tonight. Before choosing and installing this suspension, I did a good bit of research here and I have found others all say to not use the perches on the billies to lift along with lift springs and to use the toytec spacer instead.
