    ARB is all over the map when i have called and talked to them about this subject, first the lift wouldn't apply to my truck then it worked on some trucks and now carb says it will work on about 75% of vehicles. I would love if any of you guys with a 2015 DCLB trade sport have installed this lift and if it worked for you. Thanks

    The suspensions are unchanged but they haven't updated the specs to reflect new model years. They are trying not to make a mistake. I'm sure more will comment but should be fine.

    While talking to ARB today there are some Tacomas that the rear struts will not physically fit, period. but they haven't nailed down why and witch tacomas won't work. Guy at ARB told me today to take a picture of the rear strut and where it connect at the bottom and he could tell me if the 2014 kit would work

    This is the 3rd time I've read that ARB says the rear shocks may not fit on the 2015's

    bump, did any information come out of this? I noticed a disclaimer posted at wheelersoffroad for the rear OME shocks:
    *1/6/15 NOTE: OME/ARB IS AWARE OF A FITMENT ISSUE WITH THESE SHOCKS ON 2015 TACOMA AND IS WORKING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.

    Did we get closure on fitment on a 2015? I emailed ARB and they responded with the following:

    [FONT=&quot]We had the chance to test fit the suspension to a brand new 2015 Tacoma [/FONT]​[FONT=&quot]and did not encounter any issues. The information we received about the 2015 suspension not fitting was a fluke thing but we had to verify the fitment for ourselves. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]ARB Tech [/FONT]

    I just talked with ARB. They have OK'd the fitment on 2015 models. There should be NO issues.

    Would you accept returns if it doesn't fit a 2015 for whatever reason?

    I really wish people would wait until official releases have been made by manufacturers before speculation and word of mouth put all this misinformation out there.

    The mounts are tight. And can easily be separated with a screw driver or pry bar. It is an issue that has affected other manufacturers as well. This is a truck made of metal not a plastic model that you can break on accident during assembly. Don't be afraid to use a hammer or other tool, or inginuity if you cannot get something to fit.

    Just like using a spring compressor...why do it unless your new springs are so stiff you can't use the wait of the truck to load or unload them...strut assembly and disassembly is 10x safer if you leave it in the truck and lower or raise the control arm.

    This is good news. Been searching for a while to confirm or deny this issue. Now I can include 2015 in my quest for a DCLB.
