Pics of lifted taco’s on stock tires please

I had already plan to do a 3 leaf aal, I just cannot decide between 5100's, 6112/5160 or ome setup

 

Gotcha. It depends on your budget and what you desire honestly. I went with 5100’s just to get a minimal change in lift and avoid any potential issues that come along with lifting like possibly needing UCA’s or having issues with the needle bearing. It’s all about want and needs!

 

amazing pic of mt. whitney man!!! isn't that the greatest stretch of road coming back from death valley!?

 

awesome. thanks for the feedback! I was thinking of just going 5100s for now, then upgrade to 285/70R17. and then eventually get different coils and AAL. So if you go with different springs eventually, the 5100s should still be reusable too right?

 

Yes, you can change the coils on the 5100’s at any time. As long as the shock itself is still in perfect condition you’re good to go! My truck is sitting on stock coils for now, maybe down the road once my warranty runs out I’ll open a whole new can of worms and go 3” of lift. But for now keep it at 1”, and keep my warranty in tact so I don’t struggle with the dealer. If you upgrade to 285 just keep in mind you most likely will have to do come modification to your inner fender well or cab mount depending on your wheel specs. And if you plan on off roading it a bit a regear will be ideal since the 3rd gens lack in low end torque and power.

 

Thanks! Oh, forgot to ask: what perch are your shocks set at?

 

Is it required or just recommended to replace bushings when lifting or is that needed only after certain height change?

 

From what I understand, the removal process for the leaf bushings is destructive. Most aftermarket Leafs will use Poly Bushings of some sort anyway. If we're talking about the UCAs then you shouldn't have to.

For reference this is the thread i used: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bjmoose-installs-full-ome-kit-rear-brake-lines-with-pics.115775/

 

Mine are at the 3rd setting which Bilstein says gives 1.1” of lift.

Love your truck man! Which leveling kit did you buy from Headstrong?

 

When I'm looking at HeadStrong's website I noticed the those two number settings. What is that for? Are they just preloading the 6112s for front lift?
