DIY: Front Coilover Install - Completed with Toytec Radflo 2.5

I’m 3” up front and 1” shackle in rear and am level. Maybe .5” higher in rear

 

And you have Radflo with which leaf pack?

 

Raffle/toytecs. Stock leaf with 1” shackle

 

I just looked in the box again, mine only came with 1.

 

Damn. Wish it came w two. It’s hard to break it lose with one sometimes. @ToyTec Lifts can you confirm it only comes w one?

 

Did you install it yet @zcarpenter92 ?

 

Not yet, will likely be next week or the week after. Had stuff planned for this weekend and will be coming back from Vegas next Saturday.

 

Very cool

 

@csuviper What is your total lift up front with the Radflo? CAnt decide between the Radflow or Boss
@zcarpenter92 Did you ever get your lift installed? Pics?

Thanks

 

Yup, it’s been installed since late December. Here’s some pics

 

Looks great!
Did you shackle the rear?
How much total lift did you get in the front?

Thanks!

 

Yup, I have em set at the 1.5” setting. I got just over 3” on the passenger side and just under 3” on the drivers side when the lift went on. Now that it’s settled I have around 1/2” of height difference between the two sides, will crank up the drivers side on a weekend sometime.

 

Nice write up!!!

 

This is a great thread. I'm getting ready to install a set of these along with JBA UCAs. Do I need to extend my bump stops in the front? I plan to keep my front lift between 2 - 2.25 inches.

 

Did they come out of the box at the 3" setting?

 

Mine came pretty close to 3”, the passenger side was at 3.06” and the drivers side was at 2.93” with no adjustments.

 

Thanks for the info. Did you extend your bump stops?

 

Not yet, will probably be ordering SuperBumps at some point.

 

are the factory torque settings listed anywhere ?

 

I'll be using this as a reference when the weather warms up!

 

Great thread guys, since this seems to be the best Radflo thread - I have a quick question on adjustment - I've had the radflos on my '18 with no adjustment for about a month (I got 1.7" oil the drivers side and 2.3" on the passenger side out of the box with no adjustment with the toytec shackles in the rear on the highest setting). Rides great, handles great - was super happy but too much rake. I just had them adjusted and have about 3.25" drivers side and ~3.5" passenger side now. Smooth roads are fine, but over potholes and such it seems much stiffer. I know 3" is recommended - wondering what everybody's experience is as to the optimal height. I see guys have them at 3.75-4" on facebook so I didn't think much about it (was late and had to head home) and cv angles look decent with the diff drop. Only about 500 miles on the kit since install and 100 since adjustment. Also wondering if I should go back down to 2.5" and use a 1/4" shim. Thank you.

 

I cranked mine up to about 3” of lift and I agree with your that the ride is a bit on the rough side. They do not recommend 3” of lift. Not sure where you saw that. For best ride I would drop it down. Try 2.5” of lift maybe. Also I removed my front sway bar and it made my ride better. Maybe something you can try?

 

Thanks guys - also appreciate the PM's. Blue, as far as 3" see below - 3" was also the recommendation from Boss 4x4s and radflo when I spoke to them on the phone.

 

hmm I forgot where I read it. @Toytec Lifts can verify recommended lift heights though!

 

lets ask the T-rex @T-Rex266

 

I guess the recommended lift height for toytec radlfo. Is 3" preferred ?

 

thanks fellas - I'm going to dial it back to 3" and see how she does.

 

Awesome write up and video Brian, thanks!

If these 6112/5160's every wear out I think I'll go this route!
