Lift modification

[snowrider73]

I have a toytec 3" adjustable lift. I want to get to 4" without purchasing a new kit. Can I add spacers to the existing setup safely and without new suspension hardware i.e. links, lines? I don't do any hardcore crawling mostly used as daily driver and occasional trail run. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Don't lift it more than 3". Your CV axles will hate you, if you do.

Body lift. Can do 1/2" without modifying fan shroud, steering link, or bumpers. Also If your 3" isnt fully adjusted up, you could use trim packers for another ~1/2"

I added Toytec packers to my Fox 2.0s since they dont like to go full 3". Might you lose a CV, maybe.....but maybe not. Theyre easy to replace anyway.

I was able to run the Rubicon with a 3" lift. Once you go above 3", you will have issues with CV joint angles and the potential for trouble.

For an occasional trail run, 3" is a very good number.

You should be able to fit up to a 34" tire (285/75/17) with a 3" lift.

if you lift over 3 you'll need a front diff drop kit which makes the lift pointless. if you want an additional lift get 35" tires
