Lifted '16 Tacomas

You can buy a 1/2" blocks from wheelers off-road single for the taco lean. I cut a piece out of one of my stock leaf packs and added it to the drivers side. Not a 1/2" thick, but about 10" long with some arc to help lean. Seems to work good.

 

I had to cut a piece of the inner fender on both sides. I would rub when i go in reverse. I didnt have to chop the cab mounts though. I think it will depend on what tires you run.

 

The only thing is that with a smaller spacer I don't think I would b able to fit my tires lol their almost 33"

 

I lifted mine almost 2" and I put 285/65/18 and no rub

 

Pretty created !
How thick?

 

Probably about 3/8" thick. It definitely levels the truck though.

 

Thanks

 

Hello guys hoping you can help me out.
Long story short I realized I need a lift and tires
I plan on going with the blistein 5100 for all corners and ome coils which brings me to my first question if I not going to add weight to the front of the taco should I go with the 887s?
For the rear I'm going with headstrong aal and the blisteins. should I get the extended shocks?
I been reading this thread and know that the uac are needed, what else should I buy? Diff drop kit? Sway bar relocator? Also what is the taco lean? (This is my first Tacoma)
Thanks

 

2nd gen 5100 at 1.75/wheelers 3-leaf aal. night and day difference from the OEM hitachi shocks

 

That truck looks sharp! Well done

 

I'm about to do the same on my truck also. Taco lean is something Tacomas are notorious for...they lean down on the driver side. It's just not noticeable until you start lifting it higher in the air. The lean is corrected by a spacers that make up the difference and level the lean out. If you message Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she is awesome! Called me one evening and answered the 900 questions I had lol. I'm planning on running a plate bumper on mine so my situation doesn't for yours but she will be able to help with what coils are going to be best for your build

 

That is clean AF!!!!

 

I think this should work

 

Hmm. I'll have to go back and measure again. I might need to get this.

 

@Koitz one other question for you..do you have that taco lean up front like everyone says they have after installing a lift? I haven't asked anyone that has a spacer lift/level kit about the lean, I just see it all the time with people that do suspension lifts.

I haven't noticed on my truck from looking at it from the front of the truck but then again once I'm inside it, I feel like the passenger side looks higher than the driver just by looking at the dashboard.

 

Look at my setup.
5100's all all around, OME 888 Springs, hs spacer for taco lean, SPC UCA, Deaver AAL. I did not need a diff drop. I'm running 285 70 17 K02s, they rub, but i just had to trim the fender liner.
You do not need the extended shocks if you are just running an aal. I had the exact same thought and i ordered the extended shocks. If you run extended shocks you need to modify the bump stops and what not. I ended up ordering the standard 5100's. So if you plan to do that let me know cause i have brand new extended shocks available, lol.

This picture is before I installed the AAL, but you get the idea, the AAL made it perfectly level.

 

I don't know if Lean was there before , I'm sure it was .
The thing is that I don't mind if the rear is a little lower than the front (1/2" or so)
The problem with my truck is that the rear driver side is about 1" lower than the front and the rear passenger side only about 1/4" to 1/2"
So it makes the back about 3/4" out of level from side to side
That's why I want to put a 1/2" spacer on the left side so the back is level from left to right and still be a little lower than the front but that's ok with me

 

Gotcha man. Let me know if you do the 1/2 spacer and how the truck ends up after.

 

Thank you!
I love how your truck Looks. I ended going with the same set up as you!
Now the waiting game lol

 

I'll post before and after pics
