Tire size?

 

Tire size?

 

So if 5100's are only good for OEM springs what's the next step? OME Nitros?

 

Yes! I also find it much brighter with my inferno color. Radiation goggles needed, mostly because I probably don't look real dapper driving around with my welding helmet on.

 

If you drive a manual then your only choice is the Husky Weatherbeaters.

That said, I have spoken to Weathertech Customer service in the past for 'broken mats' in a previous vehicle and the my were super friendly and helpful. I was so impressed by their service I was going to order from them again but, alas the Automatic dead pedal is about 1.5 inches wider and your foot catches when you depress the clutch.

 

This may be the strangest thing I ever considered... It was pointed out to me a real long time ago by a real estate agent. She said to look for a home that is east of where you work. That way your commute in the morning is westbound and vice versa on the way home.

Oddly I have applied this tactic to a few home purchases...

 

I just installed my set of sumo springs today. They lifted my rear of the truck 1/2 inch. They feel really good. No more flat springs.

 

Hope you don't end up in a shack at the edge of town, but I do like your tactics.

 

I'm on the fence.....

 

I did find that mine did give some of that half-inch back a little bit in it leveling the truck out and probably some because of the weight I put into it allready. Now it's a little more like a quarter inch higher

 

WeatherTech has the word "Tech" in it, while Husky has the word "Husky" in it. Id say if you're nerdy, get the WeatherTech, and if your poochy or manly, get the Husky! I'm poochy and manly so I got the Husky, they hold more beer OH I MEAN SODA POP when you spill than the WT's.

 

I didn't know Lowes was selling horses now. How much are they? Are they Arabian or like Shetland ponies?

 

Blistein BB 6112. just a suggestion.
I didn't do much research on anything other than the 5100s. They suited my needs and price range. There is an excellent lift thread in the forum "what you need to know about lifting your 2016 Tacoma" by toytec. It explains a lot about the 3rd already having a 1" lift and other helpful information. Just my .02 but I have concerns about going over 2". There are folks who reported having front diff problems with higher lifts caused by the needle bearings. It all depends on how much you have to spend and what you want to do to your truck. I have a friend that swears by Fox. I confess I am not by any means an expert in lifts, springs, uca. I just did a lot of reading and spoke to some local custom truck techs about what I wanted.

 

Blacked out my grill.
Never taken apart my truck before so it was a tad nerve-wracking!
