Running 35's on stock 97 Tacoma ?

Just search the truck over. Make sure there's no broken links, if you can get it in the air and make sure all 4 tires have zero side to side and up and down play, go through and grease all grease able joints, basically just look for stuff that's wrong. Literally try to find stuff wrong with it or stuff that doesn't look right

 

If moneys not a problem then do it right the first time with a uca and coilover lift. Fox, icon, and king are popular brands. Try not to crank them above 3". For the rear go with a new leaf pack. That will depend on what you plan on doing with the truck. 2.0 shocks are available for factory rear locations or you can do a shock relocation.

Get a set of 33s of your choice. Remove the coilover and cycle the suspension with tire mounted. Trim where necessary.

 

Well I don't know wrong from right on trucks but the guy I have working on my truck does I'll tell him to go over the stuff you just listed

 

I'm not sure what this stuff means but I'm writing all this down to show my mechanic

 

Then don't jump to spending tons of money on a bunch of crap, learn about your truck and the products that would benefit your truck first.

 

What's uca mean/stand for?

 

Upper Control Arm

 

Ooooohhhhhhh makes sense now lmao thanks

 

Upper control arm. Above 2.5" the alignment runs out with the stocker and the ball joint is almost maxed.

 

Yeah I know what you mean, mines at 2.5 now with stock control arms/ knuckles and my knuckle is close to hitting the actual coil at full extension

 

I would look into investing in a new set of UCAs, total chaos UCAs is a pretty popular choice among Tacoma owners

 

Yeah I might, currently on my plate is a w59 swap to get rid of my auto and also trying to build an f250 at the same time

 

I appreciate everyone's advice thank you guys!

 

The 3.4 is non interference so it'll just stop running if it breaks, but you are right it is better to just replace it before the towing bill.

 

30 viewers and nearly 5 pages in less than 2 hours, all over a 5 inch lift that cant even get paid for. Sheesh.

 

That was real immature ya know just gotta keep jabbin me with the stupid money deal thanks again

 

It does need to keep being brought up as its the last thing you should be thinking about.

Part of me still thinks this thread is might be fake though. Its just too perfect.

 

How is it fake and the truck is the first thing to be thinking about because if I don't have it then I ain't getting to school gotta ride in style

 

Lmao. Good read.

 

I know, right?
