Toytec coil/spacer lift

Im going to purchase the popular coil and spacer lift. Im thinking about taking some pride in my vehicle and doing the install myself. Is a spring compressor needed? And any other helpful tips are appreciated. Is this lift easy to install?

Does the lift come with a preassembled front strut? If it does no spring compressor needed, but if it just a coil, and spacer then you will need to add, I would seriously consider the old man emu 3 inch though as I jumped the gun and got a 2 1/2 lift with spacers, and I will be going ome asap. It is about 800 but the time I sacrificed it would've been better spent putting the right lift on. ome will ride proper, and have 3 different spring rates to choose from stock ride/heavy and expedition. Look up old man emu they also do arb bumpers and lockers money best spent in my opinion. Feel free to call or pm me (828)423-1440

The install was super easy just took a little skin off me on the rear shock install.

The toytec is a spacer on top of the struts and new coils in the rear...as of right now I can't justify an expensive lift...maybe after I get the fj paid off

This is the lift I have, and like it. I didn't install it myself though.

Just Order my ToyTec coil and spacer lift and saved $16 with the promo code 104116 also ordered a pair of quick fist's for my shovel holder for my rack. $330 bucks shipping and all

is that the toytec lift with the new front springs AND the spacer or just the rear springs and front spacer?

Nice wasn't trying to dissuade you. I just wanted to give you a heads up as I am wanting a firmer taller set up now. The spacer kit I got works fine, but I tow and wheel a bunch and tote heavy tools with me. The springs in the rear are super soft now. I get body roll that is not so much fun on the road. When I tow the front sits high because the springs in the rear are so soft. I don't want any one else to waste their time. I hear the toytec is way better than the zone kit I got.

Its the toytec with the spacer and/coils...cant afford the other kit at the moment but I wanted a more level ride height....I will eventually replace the front with the OME coils and shocks to accommodate a bumper and winch

Sounds like a good plan of attack. Post up some pics when your done I bet you'll love it. I love the lift on mine just wish I went beefier.

Yeah i have to work all theis week and wedding this weekend..waiting to hear from toytec as to when the lift will be shipped and get a fedex tracking number...hopefully next monday or tuesday or next weekend it will be installed...im going to rent a spring compressor from advance auto

Just got my tracking number ...my lift has been pocked up estimated day of arrival is friday...im leaving work early Saturday I hope to have it installed by that night

Looks good, this is how they should come from the factory. Now it's time to come hit the trail!

Yeah im happy...need some KM2's now...if I get those sliders from Brian it will def be URE ready

Looking sweet. Make sure to get the alignement done before you wear those tires. Nice job.

Just got off work..got the alignment while I was getting paid lol

How did the alignment go?

Just fine...its not exactly back to factory but it rides just fine..no pulling to either side...it drove fine before the alignment but now I wont wear my tires uneven

That looks really good. I think a lift is going to be my next project, how difficult was this to install?

Worst part was compressing the front coils ...other than that just alot grunting lol

i didnt have to compress my coils..and i got the longer OME coils...all i did was push the LCA down and the coils slipped right in...

Yep Mike that is the way to do it. Just undo the LBJ and you can jack up the LCA to compress the spring

Looks great!!
