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

I don't know the specific rules, though I know there's a sign at the front that says "No offroad activity" or something like that..meaning you can't go tear it up. You can basically drive down to the water to your campsite and park and that's about it, as far as I know. Some day I might get bored enough to google it, but not this morning. haha If anybody knows the specifics, post away..

 

Thanks! I googled it before I asked you and couldn't find anything about off-roading.

 

It's happening... Saturday. Full install, mount balance, and alignment...

 

What is a mount balance?

 

Mount and balance tires

 

Anyone who lifted their 2016 with the premium package have any problems with the blind spot monitoring? Mine stop working a couple days ago so it's at the dealer and they are trying to say that the lift kit through the sensors off...I think it's bs cause it was working for a month with the lift in...said Toyota installed the lift

 

I really am beginning to get a bad taste in my mouth about dealerships :/

 

i was reading the other day, and seen that someone said you have to drill a couple of rivets out on the rear leaf brackets. is this true? can anyone show me pictures of where to drill if so?

 

i took my truck in to get the tranny fluid checked (since a lot of people are reporting a quart+ low on ATF, and i had one of the big wigs at the dealership come and ask me what lift i put on my truck, because apparently whatever lift the dealership has been putting on has been causing rubbing and vibes

 

I believe it depends on which add a leaf your are using in the rear. I can speak for the Icon progressive AAL as that's the one I have. For that one you have to drill out the large rivet (closest to the axle on the tailgate side of the leaf springs) that's holding the spring clamp in place. I don't have a close up pic as mine is already drilled out and covered up by the progressive AAL but here's a quick shot of where it is:

 

This is 100% correct. I believe it was me who previously mentioned this a few months ago when I installed my Icon lift.

 

Has anyone tried these or know anything about them?

 

Pro Comp is not favorable in these parts. If you're going to spend the money a great alternative to these would be Icon Stage 1. Better quality and customer service.

 

so I shouldn't need to with my Deaver AAL? also the guy I ordered from said I wouldn't need longer UBolts. is this true? just want to make sure I have everything ready before I dive into it.

 

You shouldn't need longer u bolts for a single AAL.

 

I have been checking out all possible options as well and found this, for under $2,000 w/ adjustable coil overs and UCA's and they offer a 100% warranty. Never really checked out Pro Comp before and I know they get a bad rep based on Dealerships using them ( mostly their spacer lifts) on inventory trucks. Not sure how new this kit is to market

 

Sorry if I missed this question. Tried to search first.
I have a two wheel drive 4 cylinder and just put on some265/70/16 grabber at 2s
The truck looks great but now the front tire looks a little stuffed.
Would the Toytec 3/4 spacers work well or should I just save up for 5100s?
I'm leaning toward the spacers because of cost and hoping I wouldn't have to get an alignment.
Would I and do you have to with 5100s set at .85???

 

No you you won't have to get rid of any rivets with the Deaver aal, but yes, you Should replace your u bolts. I've replaced them on every install I've done and wouldn't recommend keeping your Stock u bolts

 

5100s are a much better option over spacers.. and no matter what, if you change the ride height whether with spacers or 5100s, YOU WILL need an alignment

 

Thanks for the quick response. I figured that was the answer but my thrifty side was hopeful.haha
