Need Help for Lifting the Tacoma

we just put the bilstein kit with dakars and 887 springs on @HrBrad8 's truck a month or so ago. he is also DCLB 4x4 sport

 

Awesome, well I guess I will need to start making a list. I may go with the OME 886 Coils. I assume the rest of the equipment in there would still work with the 886?

 

O yeah, its all compatible. I think @Shibbyjeep was on 886's for a bit before adding weight to his

send Marie a message, shes awesone, will give great insight and answer any questions you have.

 

yes. You just specify which coil you want when ordering.

 

and definitely full leafpack, I went with the single AAL, and got a second hand set of allpro expo leafs not long after. The dakars are great

 

I have sent her a message and hoping for a reply when she can get around to it. I am building a list and probably will post it here to try and see if there are any issues with it before going with it. Now I am seeing extended break lines I've been told that I wont need them and also I will so I was wondering if there is some clarification to it.

 

So definitely go with the Dakars then? I have heard good things about them just never really learned about them.

 

5100 B110 shocks would be better in the rear. OME rears really limit Dakar droop.

 

I would do 5100s in front with OME coils. Wait on UCAs until you know you need them if the extra money isn't available right now.

B110 in the rear with Dakars. Brake lines if you are really going to flex them out, if not, OEM brake lines are fine. Mine have plenty of slack with Dakars.

 

I think you can run stock brake lines in the rear, but extended ones add some extra stretch

 

Yup.

For flexy flexy get extended lines. For DD and fire roads/trail running you will be okay on stock lines.

They're cheap, either way.

 

You can also avoid the brake line issue by moving up the bracket on the rear drive shaft. If you look under your rear end you'll see the brake lines coming down on the drivers side. Unbolt the bracket, gently bend the steel lines upward (bending them slightly doesn't hurt a thing) and put in a spacer between the bracket and driveshaft. Bolt everything back down and you're good to go! I did this a couple years back with my lift and haven't had a problem sense! Also can be done for free so the cost of the extended lines is negated and you don't have to go through blessing the brakes

 

Perfect thread for me. I have been looking into lift kits as well and wasn't too sure what to get especially since this is my first truck. My heart is telling me I want Kings but my wallet is telling me to calm down and get Bilsteins

 

Definitely sounds like a good idea, I will look at both options due to I rather play safe than get a bit risky when it comes to internals on my truck. Like I'm sure it is to all of us, our trucks are our baby.

 

The way these guys are putting it Bilsteins would be a good way to go. I am going to go forth with the Bilsteins.

 

Most likely the route I will be taking as well. I don't really NEED kings for what I use my truck for... I just like it because the blue shocks look pretty

 

*cough* paint *cough*

(would not advise, new guy to this kind of thing)

 

AND THE LOOK OF THE REMOTE RESERVOIR... SO MUCH WANT..

I don't need it...
I don't need it...
I don't need it...
I don't need it...

I just need to keep reminding myself that

 

Unless you're doing high speed shit, you really don't.

 

Yes you do
