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

I have seen the same video and the wrench I got didn't look like that one. Was a lot shorter and looked like you stick a ratchet in it to turn it.

 

Thanks for the reply , I am considering purchasing the Boss lift kit. I am having a hard time deciding. The other lift I am looking at is OME 887 coils with Bilstiens .

I am really struggling with this . My truck I ordered just came in Saturday. I want to put 500 miles on it to let it settle then take measurements before ordering a kit.

 

looking at ordering this kit from Fatbobs. just wondering what peoples thoughts on them are as far as customer service and overall quality.

That looks like a really decent kit for the money. add some UCA's and your good to go.

 

Im really torn on getting UCA's. Ive seen alot of people get them and then other people not get them. im sure it has some affect on the truck, but to what extent? will it just be in the caster or will i end up with alot of rub if i dont get them?

 

Installed mine, ride is good. Cant really comment on the one setup. Originally had ordered the Ome setup and then changed it just because i didn't want to have any issues after install. From what I've read its been working out good. So at this point i would say its just what you want to spend and what kind of ride quality your looking for. Ome will be a bit stiffer than the Boss from what I've read.

 

Adding UCAs will only increase your rubbing. By adding ucas you move wheel closer to cab to add more caster that was affecte during the lift. From my experience I would stay with stock ucas if you are bellow 2.5" and replace ucas if you going 3" and up

 

Agree, had rubbing clear after alignment while normal driving, but for some reason getting rubbing in reverse. Any clue as to what it could be?

 

Ok, thanks for the advice! For now I'll do with out and if I think I need them after I get done I'll order a set.

 

Take it for what it's worth... I have heard that Fat Bob's keeps closing up shop and then re-opening to avoid litigation on past business. Also I have heard there is new litigation on that coilover design because they copied it. Me personally... I wouldn't give them my business.

 

I saw the redesigned spanner wrench up at Toytec a couple of months ago. So the short answer is... yes.

 

Don't know anything about litigation. I Installed this kit Monday myself had the truck aligned Tuesday morning. Rides great no issues at all. I called FatBobs because they left the sway bar relocation kit out. The sent out next day air. They are also very helpful on the phone and seem very knowledgeable about the 2016 design.

 

Hey guys, has anyone just leveled out the front (with Bilstein 5100s) and left the back stock, then got some bigger/wider AT tires? If so, wondering how the ride is, is it heightened? Any issues? Can you post pics if so, thanks!

 

Thanks I'm leaning this way!

 

I leveled out the front of mine with the 5100s at the .85 setting and put some 265/70R17 Grabber AT2s. The ride is great, its firmer than stock which I prefer and feels more controlled. No issues and my alignment was perfect. If you search on here there's plenty of guys that have done the same thing with different wheel/tire combos to give you an idea.

 

Would you mind posting some pics brother? Thanks!

 

I have aftermarket UCA, 2.5" lift and max'd on caster, 285/70/17 on 17x8, 0 offset, 4.5" backspacing wheels, I'm still rubbing under compression. I'm about to go for a chop, but is there an alternative?

 

More lift or chop. I personally don't like how truck handles with caster over 3 degree. Do you have specs of your caster?

 

the handling doesn't seem all that different over stock to me, but to be fair a lot was changed all at once. I think caster was 4.8-5 degs if i'm remembering correctly from when it was aligned. A chop will have to do unless I see some room to add in the front to level it out with the rear. I haven't had it on flat ground and remembered to measure how it actually sits.

 

That's lots of caster, truck must feel like tank..lol. post your lift detail what was replaced, maybe we can figure this out. You can send me pm if you dang want to share with everyone.
