    Hey everyone! Just got my new Tacoma 2 weeks ago, I love it. Wanting to do a lift and tire setup here soon. Been researching, and at the moment I think I'm gunna do a 3" billsteins up front and AAL in back, with 33's and black rims(dont know which ones yet). This is mainly my mountain\camping rig as i already have a commuter rig for work, and a Raptor 700 for when I wanna be dumb. So 60% moderate mountains and some highway. Wanting a nice look and set up. Love to hear input from people similar to this! Positive and negative input welcome... Thanks!!

    I have that exact setup... 3" lift, builies up front, AAL rear, sitting on 33's. It's awesome except, with the 3", your CV boot ribs will rub and tear like mine did... no way around it unless you go higher with new crossarms or a diff drop

    That's funny...I have the bilsteins on all four corners with an AAL and OME 887 coils for about 3 inches with black wheels and 285s. Couldn't be happier!

    Only had the lift for a couple weeks but my cv angles don't look terrible. We will see how it goes I guess...

    It's won't cause any boot issues anytime soon, just a bit sooner than normal, which is still pretty long before you see any issues.


    How do you like the Duratracs? I need new tires badly, the pro comps I have are horrible

    Good to know, thanks. IMO Duratracs look mean as hell! I love them. I may not be receptive enough to notice one type of tire riding rougher than the other, but they seem great to me. The real test will be the Idaho winters. So far everything is good. Mileage didn't take too bad of a hit so I am happy about that. Went from about 20 ish with 265 hankook dynapros to about 17-18 ish.

    My pro comps get shit traction in the Florida rain. Even in the German snow it lost way more traction than it should, and I've messed with PSI and chalk test and everything, no luck, just bad tires for some reason. The Duratracs do look mean!

    What offset do your wheels have? And how close are your tires to the UCA?

    Unsure but I don't see why not. You could do what I did, and just do it, and when they blow out, get new CV axles from CVJ and have them out the upgraded boot kits on!

    I've heard that the SDHQ boots are nice and strong, and someone just recently mentioned a "slide boot mod" in another thread.

    I just left them.until they went bad and did CVJ axles so I didn't have to deal with tearing it all down to swap the boots... it's a bitch

    I could probly throw a couple grand at it over a few months, dont really want to cheap out and end up making multiple purchases. Would rather do it right the first time and be happy. But at the same time I can't be selling my kidneys either for something similar that's way cheaper lol
