i've had my 05 DC for about a year now and still haven't found out what lift i have. i know i have spacers in the front and i'm guessing aal's in the back, but thats all i know. in the first pic its sitting on 285/70-17 BFG a/t, but now i've got 295/70-17 terra grapplers with no rubbing issues. if someone can tell anything from the pics please chime in

the front is either the daystar or tuff country 2.5" front spacers, as they both use the top spacer and the preload spacer combo. The Rear is an AAL.

The back looks factory (no lift)

looks like at least a 2" hockey-puck in the front, the rear untouched.

also, your truck has the wider fender wells than alot of the other tundras. that accounts for being able to fit 295's without rubbing.

eh? what do you mean he has wider wells?

well my main point is that i want to get another inch or 2 out of the front, so how can i do that? here's how it sits now. the fender wells are at 37.5in up front and 39in on the rear. i like how the rear sits, but i want the front to be level or a tad higher.

that has to be a 2.5" spacer kit, cause its got the 1.5" top spacer and the 1" preload spacer in there. The back has to have an aal, cause the tundras i didnt think had 4 leafs + the overload leaf stock. I thought it was 3 + overload???

good catch.... just a weird AAL. Most usually go between the lowest leaf and the overload.

The front spacer looks VERY VERY similar to my Daystar spacer

so what route do i need to take to get 2 more inches out of the front for the least amount of money?

if you want it level you have to swap to either a 3" toytec style spacer or go up to a real suspension lift i.e. tough country or RCD. Don't stack spacers. I know you want it level but it is good to have it a little higher in the back if you are towing or hauling.

i'm shooting for looks now though. i've already pulled my 99 gmc sierra on a 20ft car trailer behind this and it sat just fine with everything hooked on. i just want more of the baja look for a DD

so i would just trade the 3in spacer for the 1.5in one and keep the preload spacer?

no. You would change out the preload and the top mount. Toytec Lifts - Specializing in lift kits and suspension accessories for your Toyota
