Coils hitting spindle - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Hey I have a 2001 tacoma d-cab. I just finished putting on a fabtech 6 inch lift and put the 3 inch revteck spacers as well but now my new spindles are hitting the front strut coils. I don't get how to adjust them to not hit anymore. any help would be appreciated.

first off why did u stack lifts? and 2nd of all we need pictures, well i need them, to better help. my first thought would be to take the spacers out...why could u possibly need 9" of lift on an IFS taco.

i have about 10"-11" on my Taco and run 38.5" TSL, and it is not a mall crawler

Sounds like a mall crawler with such a big ifs lift. Ditch that shit and do a sas and get it over with.
So other than that take off the revtec spacer and just run the fabtec lift. I dont think there coil overs were ment to have aspacer stacked on them.

hmmm...stock on left, fabtech strut on right. your truck is going to ride like shit with a spacer wedged in there, even if you do figure out your initial problem.

max lift with IFS is not the best for wheelin. you want wheel travel, not lack thereof.

why would u ever want that on an ifs truck....that would be tippy as hell and u cant wheel it that hard because the CVs would break and im suprised they would even engage and work on a 38" tire without breaking let alone be used off road.

cause it is not that "tippy" and does well off road, i know it will not work as well as a SAS but it is not a hammers truck. it will do the Rubicon with no problem, it is locked front and rear.

what kind of setup are you running stewie?

toc-yo · 04-19-2007, 05:06 PM

Are they hitting when you flex? Or all the time?

zarata · 04-19-2007, 05:25 PM

Its all the time

i have a marlin 3" Betts spring with 4.5" shackles in the rear. up front it is a mix of TrailMaster 6" kit and All-Pro coils.

the only place that rubs is the corner of the plastic valance in the front
