5100's with OME 885's and Rear AAL (PICS)

Alright, So here's my summary install of four Bilstein 5100's Set at 0 with OME 885's and Rear Toytec AAL 1.5- 2inch on my Third Gen MACO.


Difference ?

FRONT STOCK HEIGHT (Hub to Fender) : 21inches
REAR STOCK HEIGHT (Hub to Fender) : 22inches

After Lift (No settling period)

FRONT: 23.25inches
REAR: 24inches

Added a Driver side 1/4inch spacer consideration for TACO LEAN

Total cost?
$245 - Bilstein 5100's front+rear
$141.84 - Old Man Emu 2885 Coil Spring
$27.99 - Driver side aluminum 1/4 spacer
$84.99 - Rear ToyTec add a leaf 1 1/2 to 2" lift
$0 - Install - do it yourself people. find someone to help if you don't have tools. Buy them a beer! Find youtubes installs, find sticky installs here to help!

Total $500 rounding up.

Piece of mind by not doing spacer lifts and doing lifts the right way? = Priceless.

Now I'm gonna bug you guys about tires. PUHAHAHA






















BEFORE:


AFTER:




Please note I have a Rwd Tacoma,

 

hows the ride compared to stock, on and off-road?

 

Very nice. Sub'd

 

Subd. Any rake? And where did you order from?

 

The difference is minute (mahy-noot) I feel it being a little stiffer in front but speed bumps feel smaller now HAHA rear is the same to me. I went through this dirt construction area and it feels the same as stock off road haven't done anything heavy for now.

 

yeah feels and looks like stock rake to me. I first installed the front and had a major bro nose high lean, and the next day did the rear. but i kinda like the rake for freeway driving and carrying loads.

you have to be rigorous when searching, try Jet.com and use a promo discount code. i don't know if its still available but it came in handy for both 5100's and OME885's.

If anything i recommend headstrong, its pre bundled already. Nice people and they do good honest business

Super awesome! Many thanks!!!

 

Great write and thanks for putting this together, your truck looks badass...makes me want to lift my truck now..

 

nice write up, truck looks real good, love that color. i am going to do the same on my 15, just don't know if i'm up for the install.

 

Thank you for the great write-up. Any problems with getting it aligned? No need to drop the diff?

By the way for tire suggestions I am really liking the Cooper AT3's I had installed.

 

Nice you got a link w pics? I'm looking for all terrain, mine is 4x2, no diff drop. Pep boys aligned it under $100 not bad

 

Thanks for posting this... Now I want to know how 887s look/handle.

 

Here are a couple of pics of the AT3's. These are P265/70/r17 and are about one inch taller than stock. They are very quiet and handle better than the stock firestones in my opinion. If I lifted my Tacoma by 2" like yours, I would seriously consider P285's. I have no rubbing at all with the 265's stock.

 

I have seen a 3rd gen On the forums with 887s but I can't find it now! I am leaning towards the 887s but waiting for reviews and opinions.

 

Sub'd. Truck looks great!

 

Very nice look to them, what do they run? $

 

i have 887s and 5100s, i think a couple other guys do as well

 

What kinda lift did you achieve? What's the rear setup? How's the drive?

 

I'm at .85 in the front, and i got 3 inches up front roughly, deaver aal in back, it drives well

 

Very nice thanks for the info.
