Lift kit help

Would this lift kit be a bad idea I really can't afford the ome lift kit would this work???

 

Just FYI generally rear shocks are sold and priced individually. You might want to check that out cause that will add another $260.

 

Yea it's sold as a set of 2. So do you think this would work ?

 

Yeah it should, it you might need new UCAs too. Also does that 3" kit come with front shocks?

 

No front shocks that's what I'm worried of. It's suppose to use the stock shocks. I saw a video on YouTube of a 2016 Tacoma lifted with that toytec kit he just switched the coil to the stock shocks.

 

The stock shocks won't have enough travel for that size spring I don't think

The spacer isn't 100% necessary. Might be worth it to do just the lift and see how it sits once settled. Not trying to be a downer just trying to help, but, have you also taken into consideration an alignment?

 

Yes but just the LR UCA is like $400 something. Do you think I would need them for a wheel alignment?

 

Is there a reason to 'settle' vs saving up to buy a better product?

 

I'm trying to buy 18" xd rims and bfg ko2 tires and its $2000 on just that and I was wondering if that lift would work . I don't go off-roading just use the 4x4 on the snow but I like the look of a lifted Tacoma

 

If it does work with your front shocks you will be losing downtravel. Essentially your shocks will be fully extending themselves and hitting their mechanical limit over bumps. I understand trying to get a lift for short money, but there's better options for around the same price.

 

do you know of a better kit around the same price let me know please thanks

 

Headstrong offroad is just about the cheapest. Mine was 5100's, 885 coils, deaver 1.5" aal, and strut assembly and shipping for just over $700. You can save the assembly charge and have it done yourself. Also great service. That will give you about 2.25" lift up front. Keep reading here, eventually you'll get enough info to pull the trigger.

 

BTW a full 3" lift needs uca's which are another $485 for light racing's arms. Prices go up from there with other brands.

 

Word to the wise: if you buy a bargain-basement lift to shove $2k worth of wheels and tires under it you're going to end up replacing that lift pretty soon guaranteed. May as well save up and get what you want on the first purchase; you'll end up saving in the long run.

FWIW I got the OME 886's, OME ARB91000 front shocks plus 3-leaf AAL and rear shocks for right around $1000. Had looked at the cheapest lifts and concluded there's a reason they cost so little.

 

Thanks everyone

did you buy UCAs?

 

No, didn't need uca's since I only lifted 2.25 inches. My alignment numbers for caster were close to 2.5 and it drives fine.

 

No UCA's and have no problems
