    Zach, there is a 1/4 " spacer for the "Taco lean" on the drivers side that is included in the kit I purchased through Headstrong Offroad..

    You can see it here as the thin aluminum piece.

    I thought so wanted to make sure. I plan on running this same setup on my truck with hopes of running 285 tires. I don't do hard core offroading but I do make a lot of full lock turns. Also hoping to keep stock UCA till I can afford new ones.

    Nice truck

    Perfect! I like the ride. it is comfortable over bumps ,holes ect on road and off road. When stopping the front end does not dip down. The 885's x's are firm and hold the front of the truck up nicely.

    I think im gonna end up going with this setup on my 2016! So how much lift did the 5100's and 885 coils give you with the 5100s set at 0!?

    Roughly 2 1/2 inches BajaTaco. Your 2016 is 1/2 taller stock than the 2015 like I have.

    Make sure you get an alignment after the install

    I got about 2.5 inches of front lift with my install of OME x885 set @ 0 w/ 5100's. Rear is the TSB 4 pack leafs. I HAD to get aftermarket UCA's to dial in my alignment.

    Pics of the truck with lift:


    Pics of front end suspension set at 0:


    Alignment attempt with stock UCA's after lift:

    The alignment tech could not get rid of the excess camber after zeroing the toe and I was left with a lack of positive caster. The tech is an offroad guy. Had a lifted Jeep Liberty with a bunch of JBA (Jeepin' By Al) products, and he recommended JBA UCA's. I found the there is a JBA UCA thread here on TW with a lot of positive first had reviews of the JBA UCA's on tacomas.

    Alignment with aftermarket JBA UCA's:


    I was able to get rid of the camber and get more positive caster.

    I am looking to purchase this same set up, my question is what is the difference of having 887 coils on billies set to 0 and 885 coils on billies set to 0?

    887s make up the extra .5" of lift so you don't have to run a .5" spacer like you do with the 885s

    Got it, does that mean I would have to replace the UCA if I went with the 887s? Thanks for the info

    Any lift over 2.5", new UCAs are HIGHLY recommended. In short, with 887s, yes.
