Lifted '16 Tacomas

Hey pornstar,

Any pics of your truck lifted?

 

I don't but let me know how you want it shot and I can take some for you

 

Just from the front straight on and the front 3/4 angle. Just stand back a good amount so you can see the whole profile. I'm doing 1.5-2" front and 1.5-2" rear on a 2016 AC, so I'm just interested in the stance from other angles. No rush, and I do appreciate it. I like the look from the side on your truck though!

LOL sure do

 

Hey guys need some advice:

I Put new King ext. coilovers, UCAS, and rear shocks on the other day and have been trying to get the ride height where I want it. Had to crank the driver side up about 4 turns to get it close to level in the front. Left the passenger side alone from king. The problem is I'm about 1/2" lower in the rear driver side, then the rear passenger side with a full tank of fuel. The lean isn't as noticeable as you would think but I know its there and it bothers me.

What do you guys think about just using a 1/2" shim on the driver side rear? Any reason this would be a bad idea? I have a set of Wheelers 1.5" AAL but am hesitant to put them on seeing as I am happy with the 3/8" rake I have. Also I'm sure the lean would still be there after installing. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

I've been overly obsessed with adjusting my icon setup. Like you, I had small discrepancies that weren't noticeable but I knew exactly where they are at. You could add a shim to the rear but I'd hold off for a bit. Drive it for a few weeks, cary a load in the bed and throw in a couple trail runs. Mine settled allot more than I thought it would.

 

Yea I might wait till I get my alignment and new tires before I concede to the shim, live with it for a while and see how it goes. The front sides are level within an 1/8", so I don't really want to crank on the driver side coilover anymore. I don't like the idea of one side having way more pre-load over the other, was surprised that it took 4 turns to be about level.

By the way if anyone is wondering it was extremely easy to adjust the Kings on the truck with the Straight spanner tool.. looks like a big punch. I had heard varying reports such as kings could not be adjusted on the truck. Nothing got in the way, I kept the tires on after jacking up, and they were fairly easy to turn. There must be a lot of friction throughout the whole coilover/uca assembly because the system settles a lot after taking a rough drive. So each time I adjusted, I had to go for a little ride to get an accurate measurement.

 

you mind me asking how much it costed to get the spacers/blocks installed?

You get it done at a local shop or a dealer? Thanks

 

I can do it on my garage floor faster than that. They're charging you guys way too much.

 

How did your install go, curious on if you took messurements before and after ....

 

If I buy the icon stage 4 with tubular CA's...and 275/70R17's....will I have to buy extended brake cables? :/

 

Anyone running the Deaver 10 Leaf Pack on their 16'? Installed Kings all around with UCA's, and the ride is plush. After installing a wheelers single 1.5" AAL, the rear is intolerably stiff. I was hoping it would settle/soften after hauling a load for some time but it hasn't really. I am curious about the Deaver 10 leaf pack ride quality? softer than stock? Also concerned that it might compound the drivers side lean if the pack is really soft. one benefit of the AAL was that it took the lean out.

 

Nope, not if you got the 2.0's and the progressive AAL in the rear. Why not 285's?

what did you end up going with for tires.?

No one had the St maxx in north Dallas near me. Not in my size. So I said fuck it. It was that or order online but I was on a time crunch and didn't want to pimp around on stock tires for a week

 

what size? I'm looking at going to a 285 or 295. But a full blown mud tire this time
