    Alright, so this is my first suspension buildup so go easy on me...

    I've a 2014 TRD-OR 4x4 6spd manual. Currently looking to move into some pretty serious suspension. Money isn't a huge issue, just don't think I'll be able to pick everything up at once...

    -Think I'll start with the front coilovers - Icon Extended Travel w/ Remote Reservoir:
    http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop...mote-reservoir-front-coil-over-shock-kit.html

    -Looking at the tubular UCAs:
    http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop/295-toyota-tacoma-uniball-upper-control-arm-uca.html

    -And finally:
    http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop/776-57805-tacoma-25-remote-reservoir-shock.html

    Looking at somewhere around $2800 depending on where I shop... (Could do a King setup w/ Total Chaos UCAs for about the same)

    This is where I could use the help... I'm honestly not sure what else I'll need, ie: AAL, bushings, etc., nor do I know if I've made truly informed selections; should I just stick to Icon everything or throw a different brand UCA on for some reason, etc.?

    Don't think I'll touch the tires(currently the TRD standard BFG 265/70/R16) or wheels just yet, but if I did, size suggestions that won't destroy my MPG? Will a 2-3" lift dwarf these tires?

    Overall, the objective is to have a truly capable trail truck with the added benefit of a nicer road ride.

    Thoughts, advice maybe?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm running the stage 1 but with extended travel coilovers, icon tubular ucas, and Dakar leaf pack. I love my setup even though my rear is slightly higher but it looks normal I mean it is a truck. But yes go with icons I ordered mine from wheelers offroad. Dan is awesome to work with.

    Just FYI the vender on here gotexhaust.com will give you the lowest price the first time you ask. I got one quote from Andy and it was cheaper than the 4 other venders I got quotes from and they were even giving me the "Deals". Was even a better deal than what others were offering on Black Friday.

    I have Icon RR front ext travel, RR Rear, Camburg BJ UCA's, ALCAN HD 3 leaf pack and couldn't be happier. I did have stockers for a month while I was waiting for my Wheels and tires to come in. I am very pleased with my set up. My thread "ICON going on" covers all that I had to install and adjustments I had to make for example installing the ECGS bushing, driveline bearing spacer and adjusting to get rid of vibrations.
