What you need to know about lifting a 2016 Tacoma - Presented by Toytec Lifts

Tire size is really going to be dependent on wheel offset and backspacing. I'm not sure what those numbers are on the factory wheels, but a ton of people are running the TRD Pro wheels, which I imagine are the same. That said, I running 285/70 17's without rubbing. One of the 5100 kits I installed for a friend is running the same size, however both of us have aftermarket wheels with 4.45mm of backspacing and 0mm offset. Seems that many guys are running 265's as well with good success but at least in my experience, the 285's will clear

 

I called my dealership yesterday and asked about the lift voiding my warranty if I installed, they said no it wouldn't unless something were to fail due to installation.

 

And that right there is what every dealership should say!! Plus, the burden of proof falls on them.

 

Well if I buy from the dealer I ordered my truck from and who said the lift would void my warranty and then put a lift on it could I then take it to a different dealer for warranty work should the need arise.?

 

I was told my truck had to be serviced at the lot I bought it from, what kind of lift are you installing?

 

It can be serviced anywhere

 

Not sure about the lift yet as i need to do some research and find the best option. Would rather have a suspension lift as compared to just a lift as i would like for a good ride and better articulation when going off-road. Thinking 2" lift with slightly larger tires but not too tall as so not effect my gearing too much. Looking at Method 16" wheels if they will work with the lift and undecided on tires and size. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Hey guys quick question. If I do a 3" lift on my truck with a diff drop should I go ahead and replace the needle bearing with east coast gears supply's bushing while I'm in there? Is every ones truck getting the vibe after 3 inches? Just want to do it right the first time. Thanks.

 

Getting close... Getting alignment now.

Post your measurements when you get a chance! I got

2.25 lift in the front and 2inch in the rear same kit

 

I ordered a Dclb or 4x4. I want a small lift. One that does not require uca replacement. I already purchased all 4 bilstien 5100s I would like to maintain the stock rake.
What about the 884 coils with a 1" block in the rear?

Or should I just do the 5100s at . 85?

 

Here is a 2016 i just did 2 days ago for one of my customers. Its a 3" front and a 2" rear level kit. With 20" X 10" -18mm 4" 3/4 back spacing 6 lug Fuel vapor in dark tint. This wheel for the 2016 is only available in +1mm to-18mm offset no other options. Also running a toyo open country R\T in a 33x1250x20" The back spacing on this wheel is perfect for the 6" lift kit from fabtech for later on..............You must have at least 17" wheel. Must have 4.50" back spacing to run the 6" kit. The 6" kit allows you to run a 35x14.50x22 must have aggressive offset!

Waiting for alignment And looking BADASS!!

 

You are correct! Checked with the installer and these rims have a -12 offset...

 

running 5100's with OME 885's, do you end up needing new UCA's to get a proper alignment?

 

Not sure if anyone can answer this, I have some fox coilovers on the way 2.5 w/ Remote Resevoir
Fox Part# 880-02-376-B w 600lb spring
Extended Length: 22.21"
Collapsed Length: 17.58"
Shock shaft Travel: 4.63"
Height Adjustment: 0"-2"

Those should give me approx 2" of lift (although some people have been getting less with the icons)
should I use 1 or 2 1/4″ Thick Poly Strut Top Plate Spacers on top to get the full 3" ?

 

The link does not work . Please resend I am looking to order the exact same think. Thank you for the post looks awesome. Did you have them pre assemble the shocks? Did they ask what setting?
