Lifted '16 Tacomas

Any suggestions for a good lift setup?
Tires?

Looking to spend around 4k for everything.

 

You need to say how high you want to go.

 

3in-4

 

I figured all the "pros" would have jumped on this one by now.lol IMO 4" is pushing it with this truck in fact I doubt you could do it without going to a drop bracket setup, I know some have done 3" but CV axles don't like that much angle on them at 3"either. Unless yours is two wheel drive that is. Drop bracket setups keep your CV axles more in line like stock setup, but you have to cut the original cross member to install the drop bracket. So you really have to decide what style of lift you want before you go any further. Then you have a ton of options. Read through this post and you will learn a little. These trucks don't like to be lifted to be honest with you. Solid front axle trucks, are so much easier. BTW for every 10 people on here you will get about 9 different opinions, so keep that in mind. Listen to the ones who you can tell are trying to help you, and not just mouthing off. Happy lifting!!!

 

Went back and read 15 pages and I'm still not sure what RCD stands for haha. Link?

 

Its the brand of the lift http://rcdlift.com

 

When I first got on here I was told I needed to learn the language. (pardon me) I said something about the front knuckle and was quickly told "it's called a spindle" so I said well the last three lift makers websites I just looked at used the term knuckle, so there. Growing up spindles to me were something bearing ran on and front knuckles were what 4x4 shafts mounted to. I wanted to post things like FHOLB- "front headlights on low beam" just for the fun of it.lol You can always ask, good guys will help you.

 

Besides quality and what not, is there a difference with height adjustments between the toytes boss 2.0 and icon? does one sit higher than the other at max settings?

 

From my understanding, as I dealt with the same dilemma, is that the boss only goes up to 2" on the third gen while Icon can be adjusted to 2 3/4".

 

What do you have done to your tacoma?

 

Anyone have the BDS 4 inch??

 

stage 3 Icon lift with upper control arm's , Nitto Terra Grappelr G2's 285/70/17, dipped all badges ,dipped front grill with TRD grill badge and front portion of bumper ( like the Off road) Led interior lights ,bed mat,ditch lights and grill light up next!

 

How do you like the lift vs stock? How is the ride quality both on and off road. I'm looking to get the same set up

 

Its really night day,stock sport was a bit soft and spongy,with the Icon lift it firmed it up just right for street driving, Off roading has even been better! You will love it ,you can still get pretty good mileage if you drive just right, my best was 19MPG on freeway keeping it under 65, But i dont keep it under 65 much i do more in the range 75 then it drops to 16 witch is still good ! But i could care less about the mileage !!

 

Do you have a picture of it not off roading? To get a sense of the lift and tire setup.

 

IT sits dead level 23 3/4" front 23 3/4 rear from center hub to bottom fender well

 

Any rubbing with 285?
