What you need to know about lifting a 2016 Tacoma - Presented by Toytec Lifts

My bad. Wrote reply before I took pics. Full tilt

My bad.... wrote reply before taking pics. Not best quality right now but you get the idea. Full tilt both ways on front wheels.

 

I'd be curious to hear how the ride off road is with these shocks.

 

Hey man love your blazin blue Tacoma , how close is your front tire from rubbing on the front air dam , I'm thinking of getting the exact trd wheels with some cooper at/3s 265/70/17s for my blazin blue taco

 

It's not bad, but not as soft as I'd expected. After airing down its about perfect, so I guess I can't really complain

 

Every one or any One with Bilsteins at 0 with 885's and a Toytec AAL with the over load spring still in place (I haul and tow stuff too), do I need a differential drop and or a carrier bearing drop kit?

2016 SR V6 4X4 DCSB.

thanks


ETA: I did the lift and have an intermittent / pulsing vibe I can feel by the through the gas pedal. I don't feel it during 4x4 and when I floor it. But its' there when cruising along.

I still have to add a 50 +/- pound recovery bar in the front a skid plate that is about the same weight and a set of bolt on rock sliders. so these would bring it down some too.

 

Hey thanks for the compliment!
I would say an inch to inch & quarter! Rides nice!

 

I imagine the all the installs from the latest OME group buy will give us more data points on these lifts. Even though there seems to be a legit factory recommendation to use 887's, I still sense a lot of varying results out there. I speak for a lot of folks on here in that we are looking forward to seeing your rigs before and after the OME installs, so please take pics and share! I will doing the same once I get my OME kit with 887's on the truck...

 

I'm looking forward to your install. Your truck is like mine. I'm real interested to know if the 887's require a UCA upgrade.

 

I'm about to pull the trigger on these. I'm thinking the 887's, and I almost would rather go ahead with the UCA upgrade than max out the stock ones. The only question I have is which UCA's? I personally don't have the experience or knowledge to know the difference between the Light Racing and Total Chaos.

Anyone who can offer any advice?

Anyone?

Bueller?

 

with anything over 2 inches of lift, you should definitely add UCA's. Frankly, I am of the mindset that if you raise the front ride height over an inch, you should change out the UCA's, but that's just me. However, if you go over 2 inches and still use your factory UCA's, you will quickly find their limits and dramatically shorten their life.

 

Any preferences on brand of UCAs?

 

Well, I may not be the best guy to ask because I tend to go a little overkill when I buy parts. BUT, the tubular Icons/Camburg/Total chaos are some of what I'd recommend. That said, I have heard nothing but great things about the Light Racing UCA's just no personal experience on my end to validate any of it... Seem to be a good, reasonable budget friendly option though.

 

UPDATE: They fixed my wheel speed sensor with no funny business, that was nice. That also corrected the Blind spot monitoring issue. So apparently the BSM is wired into the ABS system. I didn't expect that! All is well now!
Now I just need to get my new wheels!

 

Thanks Jerry! There's plenty of talk about setups here, but not a whole lot of UCA specific stuff. Would love to hear more if anyone is really fond of a particular brand.

 

I can confirm my 275s rubbed minor on full cranks on inside at mud flap (no lift). And can confirm 265s no rub & no lift.
Ran BFG s KO2s for all of above.

 

Bump?

 

Everyone that ordered Kings, did you stay with the stock 600 pound springs or opt for the 650 pound special order springs? I am wondering as I have just ordered and wonder if I should have ordered the 650 pounds and not the stock.

 

I've got mine at 1.75 with no complaints. Everything has gone very smoothly thus far. The rake is even growing on me. I hated it at first.

 

I got my kings with 650's and adjusters. Rides great

 

Thanks for you help.
