Lifted '16 Tacomas

That sounds about right. Looks like Stage 1 is a 0-2" lift(preset for 2"). With the 2016's sitting 1" higher stock, the 2" lift will really only net you ~1". I ordered Fox extended 0-3" specifically for that reason.

@llajunior.db That's a clean setup. Represent NorCal

 

So I read all 115 pages.

Now lets see if I got this correct. The parts I have 5100's and a set of 885's. Tires will be 265/70/17's If I set the 5100's at 0 with the 885's it will level it with a bit of a lean that can be corrected with a spacer from Headstrong or Toytec (what size spacer).

This will level it, correct? Or will i need to add an AAL to the rear. I can get an AAL 1.5 at no cost to me.

My head hurts.

 

The 2016 is naturally higher in the rear. With the 885 I would set it to .85 and add the 1/4" spacer on the drivers side. You then should not have to do anything to the rear. I think if you did 0 setting it really wouldn't be much different than stock, you're just switching shocks.

 

thanks.

I should have add that it's a 4x4 double cab short bed so still .85 with a spacer?

 

especially that its a double cab.

 

thank you very much and I'm assuming the spacer goes between the top hat and the mount the top hat is bolted too?

Not new to turning wrenches just the lifting.

 

Here's a photo of the drivers side.

 

between hat and mount got it.
If I ever run into you I owe a beer or 3.

 

Haha thank you! I appreciate it!!

 

I have everything listed so far on my build page

 

The reason some people have to go with more caster on non adjustable UCAs because they don't have enough lift to put them in desirable 2.5 degree spec, factory spec is at 1.8 and 2.7 is maximum allowed within factory spec. Reason I like adjustable ucas is that you can add just tiny bit castor at the top and add more caster on the LCA this way your wheel stays more cented in wheel well. Aftermarket non adjustable UCA is designed to give you more caster by moving top point of the wheel closer to cab and that's why it's rubbing. Ideally if you had 4" lift they would serve their purpose perfect but we all know that's not possible.

 

885 set at 0 will put you at 1.5"-1.75" lift you would want .5" leaf plate to make you sit level or 1" blocks. But I would recommend 887 at 0 and 1.5" AAL. Also the 265 70 17 will look small IMO you would want at least 275/70/17 of you go with new coils they need to settle and I would do alignment rite after lift and them small correction in about 2-3 month

 

Let me chime in, I have the same set up 5100 with 885 springs set at 0, I was nose high and had to go buy a 1 inch block to level it out.....

 

This is going on a double cab short bed will i have the same issue. I can get my hands on a 1.5 AAL.

 

what brand step rail are you using? thanks

 

You're fine 1.5 will give you a bit of a rake.....

 

Where did you purchase the badge that is on your grill? Do you have a link? Would really appreciate the info! Thx

Pics with the 285 70 17 toyo open country at 2's. Just for some extra info for other people looking at tires. These Toyo's come in a p metric 285 70 also a black wall 285 70 and a white letter 285 70. P metric have a 65000 mile warranty. They do not have as thick of a lug, they are 48 lb. and are not as aggressive looking all though they don't look bad. The difference between the black wall and the white letter is the white letter are made in Japan out of a different compound and are 6 pounds lighter other than that they're the exact same Tire same look same warranty. I opted for the 6 pounds lighter tire at 50 pounds instead of 56. Why not save the weight, turned the white lettering to the inside. I could have got a 285 75 17 but was afraid if I decided to still have to bump the tires out with a spacer, for fear I might still rub the sway bar links, I would end up rubbing on the fender flares again like with the 315's. So figured better safe than sorry didn't want to have to buy a third set of tires. Think it still looks pretty awesome possibly will space them out a little bit now that they are smaller and get some aftermarket flares. The 285 75's are 63 pounds so only 3 pounds lighter than the dick cepek's that I had which are now for sale sitting in my pole. So another $900 later and Tuff country has not been much if any help on the matter. Not real happy with them. Talked to someone there yesterday and is going to see about doing something I have no idea what. Maybe this is just a fluke on my truck for some reason don't really know but that doesn't make any sense. Anyways here's an updated picture.

 

Is this a question? Are you saying there's an issue with rubbing on the sway bar?
