    I installed the toytec boss lift kit and love it. I just need to go get an alignment done. Will I be ok to drive it back and forth to work (50 miles/day) for 4 days till I get the alignment done? Or will it cause damage? Thanks

    Depending how bad alignment is it can ruin your tires pretty quickly. I would just get it done right away

    Drove mine for a week or so before I got it done. But it was only about 20 miles a day. It was over steering like crazy and thinking back, it was pretty dangerous the way it was handling.

    Will you be okay? Probably. Should you get it done sooner? Yep.

    **EDIT** - I replaced the UCA's though too which was a large contributor to how far out of alignment it was

    How high was that lift? I am doing 2" and no UCAs so I am guessing the alignment wont be too far off.

    @Tundra_mike89 did everything check out with your alignment? All is good?

    Looks pretty darn good!!

    Note on @csuviper alignment, the caster does show RED but the reason being is we like to pull as much positive caster before moving camber to insure proper ride quality and overall feel of the suspension along with proper wear of tires.

    The kit was 2100 dollars because I bought the TC UCA's. Install was 200 bucks. Alignment was 75 bucks. So 2375 plus a 60 dollar tip to my mechanic

    3.5" up front and a little over an inch in the rear. It sits with a .5" of rake which is what I wanted. I went with the rear shackles from toytec at high setting. I'm running 295/70/18. Rubs only in reverse with the wheel turned fully to the right. As far as the ride goes it is much better than stock. I don't have any regrets going with this kit

    Nothing crazy. But I didn't want a big lift because I tow a 6,000 lb travel trailer

    It's a 2016 4x4. I run +25 offset because I'm not a fan of fender flares.

    The only thing I would change is I would not have bought the TC UCA's. I would have went SPC uca's instead. But o well.
