Lifted '16 Tacomas

Overload was removed

 

Yes the overload spring is still in place.

 

Looks good! This is the same set up I want to get once I have some extra cash.

 

That looks damn good! Not to over the top but you can tell that its been lifted.

Pretty much what I'm looking for. Is the rear slightly higher than the front?

 

Are these Part Number:BOSS-TTFCS-2016 the Boss's you used?

Which add a leaf did you go with?

How's the ride compared to stock?

Thanks

 

Great looking truck! What did that kit end up running you total? Looks exactly like the route I'd like to go!

 

lift specs?

 

whoops don't know why I quoted RPain also (I know how to read) was wondering about the blue truck

 

Kit was TTBOSSTAC-2016-BK15 with the 2" add a leaf option instead of the 2" block. I never drove it with just the lift but with the lift and the 285/65R18 bfg t/a ko2 it rides really good. It's a bit stiffer than stock but nothing extreme and a 50 mile drive on the highway was very nice. I was worried the tires might sing on the highway but I couldn't hear them yesterday. According to waze my speedo is a little off. Speedo said 70 mph and waze said I was doing 75 mph. I'm not sure if waze is wrong or if there's a setting in the truck to adjust for tire size.

 

$1100-1200 from headstrong offroad http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p401/Coil/Bilstein_5100_Kit_(HS16BK-1).html
I ended up getting my bilsteins from jet.com with their 15% off coupon codes for the first 3 orders and got 60 bucks off, but got everything else from Headstrong.

 

Thanks. I too was surprised how quiet the KO's were. I thought I hear and feel them more than what I have.

 

As far as I've read so far(up to page 100 on this thread), the speedo will be off after installing the bigger tires. Some say it can be recalibrated by the dealer, others said there's an aftermarket tool to do it yourself.

 

alright, i want a subtle lift 1-3" so I can run more aggressive 265 or 275. what coilover/ leak kit is the best combo? as of now, i am looking at Icon Stage 2 with dakar leaf springs.

Pardon my newb-ness. first taco ever here!!

 

If you don't want/need the ICONs then I would just do a complete OME kit with dakars, save some money.

 

Did you put new pack over old rivet and bracket?

 

What your pointing at is the original. The add a leaf from the kit is much shorter and doesn't extend past the overload. Also as a disclaimer I didn't install the kit. My toyota dealership sells and installs them so less warranty hassle for me. Although they did tell me that putting bigger tires and rims would cancel out the wheel and tire protection extra warranty I got. That does cover aftermarket rims and tires but only in manufacturer recommended size 265/65R17. They processed the cancelation and refund for me.

 

Why does no one piece together there suspension kit. Couldn't I go with some nice extended travel bilsteins. A uca and some dakars?

I mean maybe I'm just to uninformed. I want a really good off road suspension and it will be used routinely. But I just feel like king, Fox, or icon is such overkill even for people who routinely leave the pavement. Not shitting on anyone, is just how I see it. Unless you're a serious off roader most off roading consists of the occasional wash boards or pot hole gravel road.

 

The over load is the shortest one and pointing downwards(oem leaf) progressive pack has 3 additional from small about 8" to long about 36" and one of them is resting against (oem) leaf bracket. I think they got it wrong. Take picture from underneath the leaf, the 3rd leaf friction pad must be against the bottom of the top leaf, of its resting on rivet it will make noise, soon... Anyways just heads up.

 

Does this angle help?
