New Tacoma owner

I'm new here and thought I'd drop a pic of my "new" truck. I've wanted one for 10 years, or so, and this one was on a lot, between home and work, asking me to buy it for several weeks...so I did.

It has a lift, but I'm not exactly sure how much. I'm headed over to the suspension area right after this to post pics of the lift and try to figure out what to replace the AAL and blocks with.

Welcome to the club Scott!

 

Get a leaf pack and pick of the front coilovers. We can tell you how big it is. Pelfreybilt front bumper maybe?

 

congrats on the purchase

 

Thanks everyone! Link to my lengthy suspension thread/questions. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ve-and-how-do-i-correct-the-rear-lift.472854/

 

I'm not sure who the bumper is from, but those look similar. Here are some more pics:

 

Welcome to TW @stoler! Congrats on the ride my friend!

 

Icon possible ext coilovers and that is a pelfreybilt bumper. I love mine. One thing I see you needing is upper control arms

 

Welcome! Nick looking rig!

 

Crud, I assumed those were replaced with all the money spent on the front lift. I guess I better start researching those. New u joints, carrier bearing, carrier drop, leafs, AND UCAs...wife will love this new truck!


What could/should I notice with my current UCAs, opposed to new ones?

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome folks!

NEWBIETACO, you are right, I do have a pelfreybilt:

 

Current ones are factory and will be too long so to say. It will put off the alignment and limit suspension travel offroad. I've got the ICON EXT coilovers and matching ICON UCAS. Love the uniball and the way it cycles OFFROAD.

Oh I k ow it's him I've got that one but with the light hoops

 

Those are more than the leafs I'm looking at!

Glad I love this truck.

 

Which leafs? I went with the ALL PRO expos baca use of my rear bumper and I tow a decent trailer at times.

 

Yep the AllPro Expos are what I'm looking at. I'll still have to get 1" blocks unless I can find 5" lift leafs somewhere. Are you using blocks with yours? I really don't want to use blocks, but don't really want to drop the front any either.

 

No blocks, I don't like them. Why would you need 5"?

 

Current rear lift is 5" and I don't want cali lean, or to drop the front. Current measurements from center of wheel to fenders are 27.25" front, and 27.5" rear. Any ideas on how to get 5" without blocks? I haven't found any leafs like that. I assume custom leafs would be crazy expensive. I've got pics of the lift on another thread here if you want to look at it.

 

Your a drop bracket? If it's a 6 inch lift than its 6 in the front and 4 in the rear. So the expos will work out fine.

 

So it's a DB so you won't need new UCAS. Do the leafs and a 7 or 9 degree shim.
