    Hey guys super new here,

    I have a 2015 TRD Sport with 1k on it still smells new. i want to put a 3" lift in so i can fit some 33"X 11.50. I'm not not afraid to spend a little cash on it. I'm not planing on doing any rock climbing or serious wheeling. I surf in the northeast so sometimes getting to spots means wet/snowy roads and long road trips. I just want to get a more aggressive look with our sacrificing ride quality or damage to the truck. any one have a good set up to research to help me achieve this. It seems like new leafs in the back and coil-overs with reservoirs up front and maybe some type of chip that corrects the computer in the truck to shift and read speed properly with the bigger tires? thanks for any help if theirs threads about this please let me know! thanks Everyone!!

    The best way to avoid mechanical problems is to limit your lift to a couple of inches.

    Toytec BOSS setup would also work. A little more cash, but the ride is worth it, IMO. Even my buddies with this setup on their Tacomas like it.

    Lol I know, just didn't feel like posting something he could find in a million other threads if he had done a little searching before posting this.

    You get some pretty sick body slide with hockey pucks, what's the downside there? :D

    OME dakars nitro chargers with 886's up front. Go with 885 if not running bumper winch and sliders. I never installed the front dif spacers. Took me and a buddy 4 hours for the front and back install.

    Seems like OME dakars are forum favorite. I might have double think getting the wheelers AAL 1.5 and save a little.

    New leaf pack >>>>> Progressive AAL pack > single AAL

    You WILL regret the single AAL TRUST ME.

    You go with OME shocks :thumbsup:

    They're valved/made/designed to work in conjunction with the Dakars. I know people use 5100s..but why not buy/use what will work together. Buy once, cry once. Do it right the first time. Just my .02

    SMH I had 5100's recently installed w/ toytecs and I have a BRO LEAN. (reasoning for plans to go with AAL) I guess ill have the shop adjust the 5100's to even it out or ride the lean til I get the OMEs. Previous owner said he had em set to .85.

    If I am looking at it right its..... these:
    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Rear-OME-Sport-shocks-05-Tacoma_p_1025.html ($210)
    paired up with:
    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/OME-Rear-leaf-springs-2005-Tacoma-SET_p_18.html ($415)

    that look about right fellas????
