I like that you went back to the dealership to take comparison pictures with the stock truck... more than once.

No , I work at a place that delivers all cars including Toyotas . Engineer for the railroad .

 

This is my sons truck. It came out well.

 

Ok, makes sense with the wrap on vehicles. . You still did a nice comparison with the stock truck so close to yours. I think it shows your lift and wheels off nicely.

 

Anyone suggest UCAs with a 3/1 kit? Unfortunately don't have the funds for a suspension kit I want and don't currently do any hardcore off roading. Just lookin fot beefier tires like a larger ko2 or duratracs

 

Do it right. You need uca's if you do a lift. I'd get the lift first, then get tires to fit the lift. Sounds like you should probably just get stock size tires if its going to be a long time before you can save for a lift.

 

Does anyone have a picture of a '16 Limited lifted on stock wheels?

 

What kind of setup do you have?? This is just what I've been looking for! Tire size? What type of lift?

 

With the new coils and billys @ 0" I got about 2 inches up front. I probably didn't need the UCA's but some people have been running into alignment issues with stock UCA's when lifting over 2".

 

@RPain Did the rear lift any with the rear 5100s? I don't want to go so high where I need to start replacing other parts, I think I'd be good at 1.75 - 2 at the front just to clear 275's even if trimming is necessary. What's your opinion on 5100's w/stock coils? You think the coils make a bigger difference in ride quality?

 

I lifted the rear with a progressive AAL from Headstrong offroad. That gave me about 1.5 in the rear. The rear 5100's don't provide lift, but give you the ability to lift. I ran 5100's set at 1.75, stock springs, stock UCA's on my 2003 prerunner a while ago and it was fine, but I ended up going with Eibach coils eventually and ran into alignment issues with stock UCA's. I haven't been able to compare the ride quality of bilsteins at 1.75 with stock coils and bilsteins at 0 with OME coils on a 3rd gen so I can't tell you for sure what the difference will be, but I really like how it rides with the bilsteins at 0 and the OME coils. The best advice I can give is go higher quality and spend more up front for the lift you want, or you'll end up paying more down the road to do it again the right way.

 

@RPain thanks for the info man!

 

What size tires? Rims are 20s?
Looks great!!

 

Really close to pulling the trigger on the Boss lift TTBOSSTAC-2016-BK15 from toytec. http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Boss-Suspension-System-for-16Tacoma_p_1464.html

 

I don't know if you had anyone answer you but when I lifted my 2015 4Runner I had to have the steering recalibration done because it was kicking on the ABS I am not sure it applies but it might.
