Lifted '16 Tacomas

It's sick. At first it was super stiff because the set up out of the box with the kit was designed to have a heavy bumper and a camper shell. Went down to 5mm of preload on the front and removed a leaf in the rear. It's what the tech suggested to do @ ARB. Now it rides awesome on the freeway and around town as well as the little bit of off-roading I've done.

 

That would be great man. Appreciate that!

 

Sorry they're not the best as it's dark, I can get better pictures in the morning if you'd like.

 

That actually looks perfect. I did notice though just now that the Ray10 has a more conservative offset. I'm still a little worried about it sticking out cause the stealth6 has 3.5 backspace and - 25 offset

Ray 10, 4.0 and -11 offset. I'm really hoping the extra -14 isn't going to be lot.

Having said that, yours don't stick out hardly at all so maybe I'll be ok with a little more

 

Are the torque specs for the 3rd gen suspension components the same as the 2nd gen? www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-torque-spec-guid
Found this info on here and was going to use it to install my lift.

Rough country leveling kit "haters going to hate" with Method 305 on Toyo 265/70 17

And before the Methods lol

 

I just ordered the Toytec Boss 2.0 kit for my 17 Offroad 4x4. I've looked through pages upon pages of this forum and I haven't seen many people running an 18" wheel. I ordered a set of 1x9 Pro Comp Rockwell wheels with 0 offset. 4wheelparts was running 15% off so I went ahead and ordered them.

My question is, will 285/65r18 fit without rubbing or do I need to go with a smaller tire? Sorry, this is my first Tacoma, all my other trucks are 1 ton Rams.

 

How much lift did that give in the front?

 

Yeah what offset or backspacing are you running?

 

They are the TRD beadlock wheels, which are 4.5" backspacing and 10mm offset.

 

I'm about to install my lift. Can someone explain the possibility of these vibrations some experience? Seems some need to replace the needle bearings. Where exactly are these located? My wife is already unhappy that I spent money on the lift, tires and wheels. Not to mention I use my truck for my company. If I break it, I could get divorce papers.

 

No vibrations here. Bilstein 5100s all around (3rd or 4th setting in the front). One inch block in the rear.

thought I had the vibrations once. But I was just on a bumpy road...

 

I got a pretty good vibration after a week in the pedals. Its good to do it regardless. Its been a factory flaw for quite sometime. After a lift with wheels and tires whats an extra 200$. Tell her you forgot about tpms sensors or something.

 

Good idea. Lol. Where are these bearings located? In the front dif? Where can I buy them?

looks good man, no need for bigger tires.
I was curious how the 265/70/17's would look with a lift and now im sure im getting a lift. thank you

 

How bad are these vibrations? I just lifted my truck with 887s and 5100s yesterday and thought maybe I have a vibration but not sure. if it's there I can barely feel anything. Truck isnt aligned yet either (not sure if that will make a difference.

 

Same setup I have. Like i said it got worse over time and i purchased the carrier bearing and removal tool when i got the lift. It almost felt like metal on metal in the has pedal and I could only notice it at 20mph and 40mph and when i would brake hard. Put the bushing in and it feels like a sneaker full of baby shit. Nice and smooth.

 

Thank you. I will just watch out for it. I'm sure it's gonna pop up, if it's that noticeable I can say that I prob don't have it yet. Getting ready to buy 900 bucks in tires so may just hold off buying the bushing till I need it (even if it is only 60 bucks)
