TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

I have a similar question. Would I be able to run a Dakar 5 leaf with the pro suspension?

 

Yes, I've been told you can run the dakars with our suspension. I'd consider extended brake lines if I put those on since it is a 2.75 lift back there

 

I was gonna do that spacer in front but decided not to. I added the ICON Progressive AAL in the rear. The stance is perfect!!! So, stock our trucks are 2" lift in front and nothing in the rear. Now mine is 2" & 1.75. It has just a slight rake with the rear being just a tad higher.

 

Gotcha, thanks for the response.

When you go to get your UCA's, check these out.

They look pretty good to me. I'm gonna go with these myself when I'm ready to purchass.

 

I've read anywhere from 1 to 2 inch lift with Dakar, but I plan to call customer service before ordering.

 

Not sure on a coil but search for 6112's because that what our coilovers are. The 5160's are what is in the rear. With plate bumper I would definitely do the coil and not the spacer.

 

I'm pretty sure that the same pack I had on my last Tacoma. I guess if you removed a leaf it would leave you at 1 to 2

 

Glad to know that. I want the extra lift all the way around. Maybe later do ucas

 

I just edited a post above regarding UCA's. I'm gonna go with these. I like them because there is no exposed ball joint.....and they are red.

They do look nice with the red coil springs we have.

 

Been meaning to call them, but I've been busy at work. I'll report back once I make contact.

 

Maybe this is the one you were referring to?

 

Yup, they sure would. I like the non exposed ball joint. Also, the one it has is easily replaceable.

That is what I just put on a couple weeks ago. Love it!!! And love the stance it gave my truck.

 

I think those with the toytec spacer is what I plan to do. How do they ride?

 

I left my front alone. I just added that AAL.

 

I know but how do they ride ?

 

I know of one guy that had them......he has gone on to completely overhaul his truck completely. But when he had them, he had zero complaints.

 

I swapped the front coils to Eibach 700# and have Dakar leaf packs in the rear with 1 leaf removed from each side. I don't notice any difference in ride characteristics. I have full armor, plate bumpers, winch and sliders, so there's quite a bit of added weight. Tires are 265/75/16.



The rear is about 1/2" higher than the front, which evens out when I carry stuff in the bed.
