help on 2004 tacoma lift kit

you are correct sir. i dont know where i messed that up earlier. so what would a 33/12/16 be? this tire size biz makes me crazy!

 

thanks for the help! by any chance does anyone out here have a set of 5100's for sale?

 

you can fit 285/75/16's with either 1.25'' wheel spacers or an aftermarket wheel with 4'' backspace. Its already been said but as far as the lift goes,its true ya do get what ya pay for. a spacer lift is fine as far as looks, if you plan on wheelin real hard then your gonna wanna go with a better setup(coilovers with uca or billy 5100's). I have a spacer lift on my truck and the ride is shit but it works for the time being until i fit coilovers into my budget.

 

heres the tread about the spacers at the end on the second page. a little ways up from that shows where you trim the back of the wheel well

I ran spacers for almost a year before upgrading to the full OME setup. It didn't ride badly, but I knew that it was temporary from the get go. I wouldn't have wheeled with the spacers.

 

dont blame ya there jdmcq, yah i havent really wheeled to hard with the spacers. im not putting all my trust into those things. i should have just done it right the first time by going with co and uca's but to late now i guess

 

I went with the spacers because the new wheels and tires rubbed. I just needed something quick and cheap to stop the rubbing until I could afford the good stuff. I love the new setup, so much better than the old springs and shocks. Not sureI needed the UCAs, but I got them and they sure look good!

 

i have been doin some research and how does this kit sound? cant come up with all the money for a coil over set up. but it does come from toy tec and i am not too concerned about the ride just my drive train

 

some people say get the dif drop for the front, some say you dont need it. thats gonnabe the only stress on the dirvetrain with a lift. me personally with only a 2.5" lift, i didnt get it

 

That's a great kit. Should serve you well!

 

avoid kits with spacers

 

You should state 'in your opinion.'

We have hundreds and hundreds of customers running spacers that love them. They work great for some people, not everyone.
