Westcott life without top spacer

I remember other folks posting about this, but has anyone done it yet? Not looking to go 3 up, just a slight lift. Thanks!

 

You can definitely install the lower perch without the top spacer for less lift. Maybe reach out to them and see if they will sell you just those pieces? I know you can only fit a max spacer thickness of about 1/2" on top so the lower perch probably gives you 2" and then their top spacer gives the other inch maybe?

I'm thinking of doing same. Don't want to lift too much. Just enough to clear 35's or 295/70 with 18x9 +20. Don't want to lift the rear, cause I need to be able to load my bike on to it.

But they don't have kit for TRD sport yet. Called them. Told me in about a month. Did some measurement on my trd sport. and measured 21" in front and 23.5" in rear, from center hub to fender. So, seems like only the front is 0.5" lower.

 

I’ll be doing exactly this once my truck and my lift show up. I want a tad more rake than the full kit offers.

 

When is that if you don’t mind me asking?

 

Bahah! Ask away. I wish I had an answer. Ordered/deposit 3 months ago. Sadly I’m waiting for what has been a unicorn spec thus far (1794 4x4 6.5 bed with TRD OR.) Also got in on the westcott preorder but haven’t gotten any update on when it will ship. I’m not really stressing it since I still don’t have an ETA on the truck.

 

Just purchased my Preload Collar for the front only, i think it will look amazing with 34s on stock rims. Estimated shipping is 3 weeks out, but will post pictures once installed. Will attempt to install myself with a pair of jack & jack stands, however using spring compressors always freak me out.. so if I can't handle it I'll end up taking her to a local off-road shop. Estimating around $600-700 for labor if that...

 

not a hard install but my local shop quoted me $320 to install all four corners with alignment...so I'll let them take this one! lol

 

lol i would too for a $300 install.
Question, so since I'm only going with the front lift, that kit comes with the lower collars, and the 1/2 inch top shim plates. If i want to achieve the look in the video above, I assume I'll just leave off the top shim plates, i wonder why they still include the top shim plates in the Front kit then... Is it there so I can add the top shim plate back in if i ever decide to lift the rear?
It wouldnt make sense to install the top shim plates, if i'm not lifting the rear right?

Update: spoke to westcott designs. Confirmed i should leave out the 1/2 inch shim if im just trying to level the front. It's Included in the kit if i ever decide to lift the rear with a third party rear lift.
