    just need a 1/4 or 1/2 top plate spacer. I have the 1/4 and I clear 285s with some trimming. Hey I order my Icon setup last week so my 1/4 spacers will be up for sale prob mid next month :thumbsup:
    and if you are going to add them you better tell them now to press in the longer bolts on top of the front or else you won't be able to fit them fyi

    OP you didn't say what you're going to mainly use your truck for. Maybe just go 6" db lift, then you'll notice it.

    I'm down in Red Deer and looking to get the same kit. What did you get quoted for the supply and install? Where are you ordering it from?

    Ended up ordering some Icon UCA's. Going to hold off on the top spacers, and don't think i'll be able to find a trim packer that can be delivered by Monday (date of my install).

    What you got with LR UCA's and 1/4" top plate spacers and 33's fit fine. The stance is considerably different than stockers in the work parking lot!

    i have the exact same set-up and love it just waiting on tires, I do regret not getting the front spacer though because my truck is noticeably lower on front then rear.

    On a side note-- if I install the top plate- that is another alignment correct? if so, maybe down the road--- new uca and top plate spacer:cool:

    :eek: Yikes, 4k is a lot for that setup installed.

    I realize you already ordered the 885 coils, but another option is the 887's, which are the same spring rate, but taller. If you're thinking you'll need more clearance for 33's.

    x2. Anyone that knows what a stock tacoma looks like will immediately notice its lifted. I get ppl coming up to me all the time asking about my set up. FWIW a local shop quoted me around 600 for the install, so i decided to install it myself - which was easier than i thought and a great learning experience. GL.

    So, here's what they are trying to charge me... this also DOES NOT include the $1200 they want to charge me for UCA's which are worth $750. Obviously i'm being, for lack of a better phrase, butt fucked here. I'm going to demand they lower the price. What stands out as something they're ripping me off on?
