Toytec lift question/ Vibration/RE: Drop Diff needed?

I been doing quite a bit of reading and found a few threads of interest relating to my truck, but mines a quad cab --> https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...op+diff+spacer

I got the Toytec lift installed today [did it myself] ...along with the aal's. Everything actually went pretty smoothly till the passenger side overload leaf fell out and I put it in upside down. Never even realized it till I started on the drivers side....LOL. And that happened WITHOUT any beer !!!!!

Anyways...after it was finished I took the truck for a cruise. It rides more on the firm side [which I like] and changed the stance to do what I needed.

I do notice a slight vibration in the front end going from sitting to about 20mph. I am thinking that I need to add the diff drop to solve this, but I still have to get the alignment done and I don't want to pay for it twice if I neew the diff drop

Any feedback is appreciated

Thanks !!

I dont see how the diff drop would effect the alignment. Is the toytec front lift a top spacer only or does it pre-load the spring?

The toytec has the 2" spacer that goes on top of the coil [hard mounted in the coil preload] and then the added 1/2" spacer above the coil. Then the whole assembly gets bolted in.

I need the alignment due to the to-in/toe-out changing. But, if I also need the diff spacer, I don't want to get the alignment done again....so I'll wait if I have to.


Thanks for the reply !!
