I have the ToyTec lift you have (with 882's up front), including the 3/4" spacer on top of the coil. I know that I can see "rubbing" on the CV boots where there wasn't any before.... and looking at my CV's from the front, they are what I consider to be at a little uncomfortable angle to my eyes. I even have a Diff-Drop. I can't see myself lifting it any higher at all unless I used one of those big kits that replaces your whole front end.

I'm with WABFAB on this one brother.

I have Tundra's and two 3/8" spacers on each side. I'm at 2.5" of lift. I couldnt see myself go any higher becuase I would lose alot of offroad ability.

On another note, it would ride horribly.

I ran a 2" spacer, and OME 881's... It was real bad.

I'm at 3 1/4 - 3/1/2 also, but the fins on mine touch on the top of the outer joint just a little. Funny how all Runners seem to be different when lifted.
