Lifted '16 Tacomas

Perfect. How's the ride vs stock with the new setup? About how much lift do u have it set at? Any vibration from the needle bearing upfront?

 

Does anyone make rear inner fender liners for us?

 

Hey how much did it cost in total for the lift? Did you buy it as a kit?

 

Hey how much was your lift did you order as a kit or all seperately?

 

A lot of pages with good info on here but I'd like to see if someone can help me directly.

I have a stock TRD Offroad DCSB 2wd and I'm looking for about 2 inch lift.

I'm planning on going with the 5100's all around but I dont know if I should go with stock springs and adjust the setting or go with 885 or 887 coils and keep at 0.

Anyone have experience with these on a 2wd Double Cab Short Bed?

 

I did 5100s all around, set it at 1.75, and a Deaver 3 leaf mini pack for the rear (gave 1.5" lift). Spidertrax wheel spacers to run 285's on stock TRD Sport wheels. Kept stock UCA's. Looks and rides AWESOME! Will post pics soon.

 

The Fox kit was purchased through Headstrong.
Here's the link, call and ask for Marie if you have any questions.

Cost is in there. Just make sure you choose extended coilovers if you want 3" of lift.

 

Ok thanks a lot I appreciate it how's the ride. This is a really nice kit

 

Ride is very nice...no cluncking, not harsh, stiffer than stock but great for a daily driver.

 

Finally got time to post pics of the new and improved!
So my mods are:
* 5100s all around (front set to 1.75)
* Deaver 3 leaf mini pack in rear (gives approx. 1.5" lift)
* Spidertrax 1.25 wheel spacers
* 285 70 17 BFG KO2s
* NFab Nerf bars (for the boss lady and little rugrats LOL)

** I kept the stock TRD Sport wheels (I actually like how they look). There's no rubbing (except this ONE time when I turned right a little harder than usual). No trimming/cutting needed.

** Rides just a tad stiffer than stock, but LOVE it! Height is DEFINITELY noticeable, mpg change is not much at all! Have gotten TONS of stares and compliments over the weekend. Overall, ABSOLUTELY love it! A decent lift for a semi affordable price (Just under $3000 for EVERYTHING). TRUCK ON BROTHERS!!

 

Nice looking Taco! Did you keep the original springs? Did you install yourself? Did you have to compensate for the "Taco Lean"?

 

thanks man, the car you see in the background is my other baby, the M3

 

Looking at getting the same BDS kit. Whats ur review of it?

 

Looks great! Could you post a closer pic of those amps retracted. I had them on my 2011 F350 and they completely disappeared when they were up.

 

Any rubbing ?

 

Hey, can you tell me what type of lift that is and the tire and wheel sizes? And how do you like the lift? Does it sling mud a lot? And what is about your MPG you get now? It really looks nice and I would like to have it done to mine! Thanks

 

So just a heads up.. Yesterday I put some new shoes on my truck. 285/75 Toyo Open Country AT2 Extreme. Awesome tires and a size up from my 285/70's.. BUT, for anyone looking to go with that size, you WILL have to do the cab mount chop. No way around it. Perfect size for these 3rd gens IMO

 

Yes. Only when suspension is compressed, and at full lock. Very minor, and only hitting the corner of the plastic on the inside fender flare. I just trimmed it up with a dremel, so should be good.

 

Great tires, I have the same ones on my Jeep, mine took less than 3 ounces each to balance, pretty impressive for a tire that heavy and aggressive tread design. Big step up in size from 285/70/17s, I have had that size as well.

 

How much lift are you running?
