I want to lift the Taco...

I am new to lifting a truck on my own. I am not too familiar with what I should be putting into my truck. I have a 2012 TRD 4x4. I see a lot of you guys saying 5100's with OME 884/885 is the way to go. I just want a 2-2.5 inch lift.

Just drop a shopping list below maybe with some links.

Also..what is a good sized tire for that? Will my stock rims hold a meatier tire?

I want it all!!

Thanks!

 

I am about to go this direction as well. I’ve lifted two previous second gens with 5100’s in front and OME dakars in the rear. The full leaf packs give a lot of lift so I would suggest an add a leaf in the rear and the 5100’s have setting up to 2.5inch and you could stay with the stock springs like I did. I thought they rode just fine but I see most of the guys here say the 885 is the way to go.

I’m going with billies and the dakars with leafs removed to get a couple inches in back and 2.5in on the stock wheels.

Head over to Or www.headstrongoffroad.com

They have everything you need and are forum supporters.

Good luck and post pics.

 

I went with 5100's at all corners, front set at 1.75 with stock coils & a 1.5" single Add a Leaf. 265/75's on TRD Beadlocks. rides better than stock but I have a DCLB

check out Wheelers Offroad

 

my last truck had lift on axle about #4 i told myself never again

 

I have OME 887's up front on 5100's gave me 3 inches up front so you would want the 885's I have the ICON 3 Leaf progressive AAL in the back with ICON 2.0 Shocks. Love the ride but at my 3 inch height I also JBA Standard High Caster UCA's to keep my alignment in check. Good Luck with whatever you choose and as stated above call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road she will fix you right up.

 

@Unchained 5150 Pyrite Mica FTW!!!

 

OP, do you regularly haul heavy loads, have a lot of weight in the bed or have a camper shell or anything? That'll dictate the best way to lift the rear of your truck.

 

not all scenic and fancy but you get the idea lol

 

I just sold all my 5 Bronze Beadlocks to put the current wheels on

 

Fauxlocks

 

oh man, I didn't realize that was your truck! its one of the trucks I saw that made me want bronze beadlocks, no-one had the bronze or black in stock so I settled for graphite.

 

Yup and now they are gone, but I actually like my new wheels better.

 

@Unchained 5150 they both look good

 

@TacoTut91 I would recommend doing the ECGS bushing before or while you install the lift tho.

 

Yup I did mine at the same time

 

Alright so old truck had 3” Lift and 265/75R16. With the right type of tire they actually keep it from looking to small with a 2.5”+ Lift.



New truck. First picture is with 265/70R17s with a 2.5-2.75” Lift. Bottom picture is same Lift with 255/80R17s. All these tires will fit on stock rims just fine. For suspension I say try to save up for the Bilstein 6112s. 5100s are nice but the 6112s are like night and day.

 

2011 TXPro: I went with Headstrong.com Kit 885 5100 w/AAL 2.5in. Sits perfectly level.

 

You were all so much help! Great looking trucks on here!
