Lifted '16 Tacomas

Did you get a measured 2.5"s of lift in the front. I"m installing my 885's and 5100's tomorrow and I keep going back and forth between 0 and .85 setting. I installed rear 1" blocks tonight, and I can't even see the difference.

 

265/60/17 is smaller than the tires that come from the factory, so you don't need a lift to run that tire size.

 

So I'm looking at purchasing my Lift Kit but can't decide which one i should run maybe someone here can give me some good insight on which is the better of the two. I'm looking at the Toytec Boss 2.5 kit or the Allpro Lola Fox Kit. any one have recommendations?

 

Anyone trim their wheel wells at the front bumper? I was rubbing near the cab mount prior to alignment ~+.0.75 caster but now its rubbing in the front of the wheel at the front bumper after alignment ~ +2 caster.

 

I'm one of the cool kids now!

Don't know what my exact numbers are but I got about 3" in the front and 2" in the rear

 

I have about 1000 on the suspension, only a handful of miles on the wheels/tires. After alignmient, I kiss the front fender liner when in reverse. Haven't gotten her dirty yet, so we will see how it does in the elements.

 

What are your specs for lift and tires?

 

You're right, edited my post

sorry, I come from the race car scene where we don't post our specs. I'll try to remember to post them here on my truck

 

Same wheels I'm looking at. I think you said that the TPMS sensors worked no problem, you didn't need to buy the extra sensor kit? How do you like the ride of those load range E tires? Is it that bad? What kind of MPG are you getting now?

 

Yep! TPMS no problem! No need for any kits or anything. Straight swap..

The E range tire isn't bad at all. Not nearly as bad as people make it seem. Just a tad stiffer than stock. But feels nice, makes it the truck feel more like a truck. I like it.

After accounting for the 5% odometer and MPH difference I'm gettin an average of 19.something versus my old 20.something MPG. Totally worth it.

 

Awesome that doesn't sound like that bad of a hit at all. Were you able to program the computer for your new tire size? And I'm wondering if upgrading the suspension helps with that "dump truck" ride that a lot of people talk about.

 

I'm going to ask the dealer to reprogram the speedometer next service appointment of its even possible. But for now, every mile I put on my truck my truck only registers .95. That's some resale value! at 100,000k I'll only show 95,000k! Winning

I'm sure the new suspension isn't hurting. But i doubt it masks the "dump truck" feeling. I think people are just babies about the E load tires. I like it, and they'll last practically forever.

 

I think I might just bite the bullet and get the tires I want in the size I want. Originally was researching hard for C rated tires but for 275/70/17 they are only available for Cooper AT3 pretty much. Where did you buy your methods?

 

4wheelparts.com they had free shipping and 10% sale that actually ended today. I payed 183 a wheel. I'm sure you can call them and get the sale still. It seemed like the sales rep was able to be flexible on prices. As he threw in free lugnuts on mine and took a good chunk off my tires just cause I mentioned it was my birthday lol

 

Icon UCA, Leafs, and King rear shocks came in today! Still waiting on my front Kings and then I'll be able to post up!

 

Man I'm really loving these trucks and was planning on a 2017 model in the Fall but I'm a little bummed that many reviews on YouTube say that the gearing is weird and the truck feels sluggish? Anyone of you have this experience? These things look great lifted and I need a better gas mileage truck to run estimates for my Roofing Co. Sorry to change the subject
