Lifted 2017 Toyota Tacomas

Thank you sir!

 

Not sure I would call it a "lift" but I love how it turned out and how it performs/ handles/ drives even more.

Installed Bilstein 6112's up front (set at 2nd notch/0.75" lift + 0.25" spacer on driver side for "taco lean") and 5100's rear. Big time thanks to @jluu44 for helping with the install! Also added Stealth Custom Series F5's (16x8 — 4.5 backspacing/ 0 offset) wrapped in 265/75R16 Goodyear Duratracs C load range. Alignment done this morning. So stoked on how it all turned out. Got to thank Marie at Headstrong Offroad and Vin at SCS too for there help (and patience). Also, can't forget to thank the guys at Wheeler's Off-road for coming through with the lugs I needed. They were backordered, but still managed to get them to me in time for the install ... I literally took delivery of the lugs about 20 minutes before I got my wheels/ tires installed. Thank you guys so much.

The overall ride and performance of my truck is so much better. Honestly, I can not believe how much of an improvement the 6112's offer compared to TRD Offroad stock suspension. Highly recommend to anyone considering these. Stock Bilstein 4600 series shocks + Stock wheels/tires are for sale as well. Only 2,000 miles on them. PM me if you're in the San Diego area and interested.

Check out my build page for much better pictures, but here is my truck (right) next to my co-workers stock truck (left). Same truck, except I'm running above mods and his is stock. According to my measurements (now that I've given it about 300 - 400 miles and a week or so to settle) I'm pretty much dead level. Very happy with results.

No bash taken. I'll need to find it again. If/when I do, I'll share the link

 

Couldn't find the 2600 OR package I was referring to, but I did find the TRD Pro suspension package, which only includes the front and rear shocks...for $3150.

I'm selling the same thing PLUS the UCAs, LCAs (which adds an 1" to the track), and TRD Pro progressive leafs. That's about $4500 if you were to buy it, and I imagine that you'd only be able to get the UCA/LCA from a dealership.

holy crap, alot of money for 4 shocks,, if i need money, i can sell my shocks of my pro,, lol..

 

Holy God. that alone would pay for a decent aftermarket suspension setup. haha Good luck with the sale, and i love the truck btw

hahaha "crap, I dont have money for the mortgage this month."

"no worries, go sell your TRD pro suspension for $3100 and buy a used set of TRD Sport / SR5 suspension for $100"

 

where did you mount your rock lights? Need help for the back. Thanks!

 

I know in the second gen world, this is quite common with the 2+ guys with having dakars in the rear. I think the 2+ route gives you a lot of versatility as you get some great articulation/travel over stock without needing to have a long travel rear to accommodate the front. Many like this route as you can have a midtravel rear to accomodate an RTT and such that many LT kits struggle to support without a custom built SUA. Sure, you wont be flying as fast as the guys with 3.5, but that wasn't the intent anyway as you are more of an "all around" set up. Not to take away at all from the guys who have 3.5, just means our rears limit our capability to what the front can achieve if we stay SOA.

SICK PRO!

My 2017 TRD Sport with a 6" Rough Country lift on 295/70R18. Minor trimming to the front guard, I also removed the front mud flaps.

 

I mounted them on the inner fender, the plastic part. I used plastic sheet rock anchors to hold the screws in place, drilled a 3/8" hole to fish the cable through, and a shit load of zip-ties to secure all the slack to the under carriage.

 

Total chaos +2, King 2.5's ext travel with adjusters all the way around, Allpro expedition leaf pack, Allpro u-bolt flip kit, timben bumpstops.

Drooling...............

 

Trying to figure out what shell that is... did you remove the ARE badge? Looks like an ARE V series?

 

Also, did you have to run wheel spacers to fit those tires? so they wouldn't rub on the UCAs? Thx

 

Currently have my '16 OR lifted with a pro comp 3" lift with 285/70/17 on it. It's my dd so I dont want to get too crazy but I do actually take it off road and have bottom'd out the rear and almost high centered several times. I would love to fit 35's on it and have some addt ground clearance. Any one have a suggestion on changes to make this happen that wont kill my bank account?

 

That's the ARE cx series topper de-badged and yes on the wheel spacers. Spider trax 1.25" Here's an updated pic of the truck now.

 

Wheel/tire info?

 

Sweet thanks. No wheel spacers on the new ray 10s right?
