Suggestions for a decent lift?

@3coma @Arailt and @HeadStrong Off-Road thanks for your input! I'll add the spacer and take some measurements to see how the ds and ps compare.

 

would the AAL work well with the recall springs on an '09? i'd hate for them to sag

 

The ones we have are compatible. Now the performance and capabilities of any of the add-a-leafs still do rely on the factory leaf pack and its capabilities and wareability. The recall packs have still been known to sag over time depending on use.

 

How new are your springs?

 

At most like two months ago the dealer put them on

 

Oh, you'll be fine. There is absolutely no reason to go buy a whole new leaf pack when you have brand new free springs.

 

The recall leafs are just as weak as the factory leafs with the exception of a couple of retaining brackets that prevent the leafs from puncturing the gas tank if they fail. An AAL won't cause then to sag any faster though.

My two month old recall springs are holding up just fine with my three leaf AAL.

 

They're the different coils that OME offer! Different springs provide different amounts of lift with different applications. Here's a chart of them.

 

I'd sell my 886's and OME 90000 for a reasonable offer. They have 10k miles on them.

 

Have a pic and a price in mind?

 

They are still on my truck. No price in mind just yet. I'll have to see what I paid and what the going rate is now.

This is recent


I paid about 1200 for everything. Headstrong is selling the individual parts for 310 and 175 so about 500 with free shipping. I'd ask 250 shipped.

 

Finally got around to beefing up the suspension and I'm happy to say that the 1/4" spacer from @HeadStrong Off-Road took care of the driver side lean, and now it looks great!

 

Is it possible to have a driver side lean if my taco is not lifted? I noticed the other day that my truck was leaning slightly to the left on even pavement. I shrugged it off not giving it much thought until now.

 

Yeah, unfortunately Tacoma's suffer from the "Bro lean" because the weight distribution is a little lopsided (battery, gas tank, and driver all on the left), so they tend to favor that side. Mine wasn't too bad but I've seen pics where it's very noticeable. This is why the 1/4" spacer was included in my lift kit.

 

Ok now I understand. So if I bought the 1/4" spacer, do i need to put those all around or just on the left side. I believe Wheelers sell those correct?

 

I only had one for the left side. It goes in between the coil bucket and the top plate on the coilover.

 

cool thanks. Im gonna look into getting that taken care of.
